Ever wonder what’s in face paint? (Is it really paint? Does it have any peanuts, soy, milk, or animal products? What about latex? Heavy metals?) What about perfumes? Is it okay for sensitive skin?
We use only 2 supplies for 2 brands of face paint–“face paint” being a misnomer since what we really put on children’s faces is kid-friendly makeup. Face paint should never be done with actual paints! Our makeup is free of cancer-causing metals, unlike actual paint, all safe for skin, and cruelty-free.
Below is a full list of all of our face paint brands and their ingredient lists. If you have any additional questions, please contact our office during the booking process and we’d be happy to answer them!

Just hire two or four artists (depending on your event size): one to crank out tiny designs for wiggly toddlers or on-the-go parents, and a second to take their time on more elaborate designs.

Interview with Alyssa: Worcester MA Face Painter & Balloon Twister
How did you become a face painter for hire?
In my senior year of high school I knew I wanted to go into events management, so I thought working as a face painter for kids parties would be a fun way to start that work right away. I also already had experience baby sitting and loved taking art classes, so I was excited to try!
Do you like face painting or balloon twisting more? Why?
It’s hard to choose, but probably face painting because it scratches that “creative itch” that I think we all have. Balloon twisting is fun too, but it’s harder to improvise with.
That we’re human too! 99.99% of clients do remember this, but sometimes I have to remind them that we can’t be outside in 100* weather in the direct sun or outdoors when it’s below freezing. I know there is a certain vision for your event, but sometimes we need to be more practical than conceptual with event set-ups.
What’s one event you’ll never forget as a kids’ party entertainer?
I once was hired as a face painter for a 1st birthday with over 200 people! It was like bigger than a wedding, it was so fun to be a part of and everyone was so nice to me.
