Party Entertainment
OUR TEAM
As the business grows, the lead artist cannot be everywhere at once. As nice as that would be. We know that the process of finding a great artist who is available for your party can take time to search, and can be tricky on high-demand days. So we have developed a team of artists that help bring magic to as many events as possible. We don't turn any inquiry away. We have very high standards of professionalism, artistry, and friendliness with all of the people that we work with. So if Jeshka is not able to personally make it to your event, she makes sure that there is an artist that is available who can do at least as good of a job, if not better!

How do I know that I'm getting a good price?
Most facepainters are freelance artists, so pricing can vary. In the SF bay area, you should expect about $150 per hour estimates when shopping around.
First of all, facepainting is a type of make-up artistry.
Lots of practice, training, and education goes into those fast and fabulous designs.
Second, the paints are expensive! Most of the service price is guarenteed going straight into replacing materials.
Third, don't forget the travel, labor, food, costuming, and other costs that a facepainter could run into when going to work events.
Common Questions
What is the paint made of?
We're not surprised if you are wondering about this, but don't worry! It's just make-up.

Is the paint easy to wash off?
Yes! Just with warm water and soap.
Some colors like to stay a little more than others. It depends on on each person's skin. Sometimes it may take a couple of washes.
Pro tip: Use a wipe to take paint away from the eyes first before splashing water.
Also oil-based soaps can be very efficient in getting paint off quickly.
How long does it take?
It depends on the design. Painting time can be only a few minutes up to an hour for the fancy facepaint commissions.
At a party, our artists can paint up to 15 people per 30 minutes.
