Fast, Friendly and Professional

Face painting is delivered at a pace that suits your event:

  • Around 12 children's faces per hour for standard whole face designs
  • Around 15 designs per hour for smaller designs on one side only or arm art
  • Calm friendly approach to help nervous children feel at ease

This makes face painting suitable for birthday parties, shopping centres, weddings, festivals, corporate events and hospitality venues.

Here are some of my recent on-the-job face painting pictures. All these faces are done by myself in under 5 minutes. Check my Instagram for more! https://www.instagram.com/katkraftuk/

Speed Face Painting for Large Events

Speed face painting is available for large scale events, such as football matches, promotions, shopping centres and high footfall public events. This style is designed to keep queues moving quickly, with everyone having variations on the same simple design. 

 

For children's parties and private events, I focus on giving each guest a high-quality, individual design, tailored to their preferences. This takes more time per guest and ensures a much better experience - especially for birthdays and smaller celebrations. 

 

If you are organising a large event and need fast, efficient face painting for high numbers, please get in touch to discuss speed painting options.

For events that call for extra sparkle, a Glitter & Glam upgrade is available. This includes:

  • Cosmetic-grade gel glitters
  • Chunky festival glitters and shimmer powders
  • Face gems and glitter hairspray
  • UV glitters and UV face paints for evening events

For Halloween parties, this can also include special effects such as fake wounds and gore, perfect for glamorous zombies and spooky designs.

Face Painting Across London

Based in London, I provide face painting across all areas reachable by public transport, working in private homes, venues and public spaces throughout the capital. 

 

Face painting can also be combined with Balloon Modelling or Bubbleology for smaller parties or longer bookings, offering variety and great value.

 

Get in touch  to check availability or discuss your event requirements. 

 

Face painting is for adults too! Full face designs can take a bit longer as adult faces are larger (and have stubble!) but eye designs are still around 3 minutes.

Please note that Halloween is a very busy time of year, I am often booked over 2 months in advance.
