Hi my name is Kylie and I am a face painter with over 14 years experience. Please check out my general information section for FAQ's about the service I offer. I have a WWC check and full public liability. My designs are fantastic and I am very quick!
FAQ's
WHY ARE YOU MORE EXPENSIVE THAN OTHER LOCAL FACE PAINTERS?
The answer to this is quite simple, it is because I am worth it. I am worth it because I use top quality paints, have high hygiene standards and I'm super fast without compromising quality. On average I can paint close 15 kids an hour at a large event, and 12 at a birthday. I charge what I charge because with me you get what you pay for. I am always prompt and professional. I can handle large volumes of children with ease. My designs are beautiful and my work is consistent. With me you always know what you are getting.
Yes I understand there are cheaper face painters out there, but I am worth it.
HOW MUCH IS IT FOR A FACE PAINTING PARTY OR A GLITTER TATTOO PARTY? -
For children's birthday parties I charge $8 per child with a minimum of 10. If you have 15 kids there and only 12 get painted, I charge you just for the 12. If the 12 only takes an hour, then it costs you $96...If it takes an hour and a half it still costs you $96. Not charging an hourly rate doesn't lock you into having me there for a set amount of time.
If you are having a large party with many children, an hourly rate is available. For example if you are having a party at a park where there will be a lot of siblings, this may be the better option for you.
HOW MANY CHILDREN CAN YOU DO IN AN HOUR?
I can easily complete 12 - 14 faces/tattoos in an hour.
WOW, THAT MANY FACES, DOES THAT MEAN THE DESIGNS ARE BASIC?
No! Not at all. My designs are fantastic and detailed, and even lots of glitter is added. Jut because I am quick does NOT mean the standard of my work is compromised in any way.
WHY DO YOU CHARGE PER FACE AND NOT BY THE HOUR?
I charge a per child rate for parties for a few reasons. The first being that you have a good idea of how much the party will cost you in advance. The second, at parties, I often have to 'chase up' children who are off having lots of fun, to get them to have their face painted, which can take time. Also, sometimes you may need to play games or serve food which may mean I am not doing anything, and no one likes to pay for down time.
It also means that with a party of 12 for example, that all children can be painted within the first hour, leaving them PLENTY of time to enjoy the activities, run around with their faces painted and play at the party. They are not sitting around waiting for their turn and all kids get to have their faces on for the majority of the party time.
Being quick also allows me to paint all the kids at the start, and leave you to enjoy the rest of the party, without me encroaching on your space or party time. Think of me as the Face Painting Ninja, I'm in and out before you know it and all that I leave behind is trail of wonderfully special transformed faces! I believe I am there to enhance, not take over your party.
WHAT IF I WANT FACE PAINTING AND TATTOOS?
If you would like the children to have both, the cost is $12 per child, with a minimum of 10.
CAN YOU TELL ME MORE ABOUT GLITTER TATTOOS?
Glitter tattoos are great! They are applied as a stencil, then glue is applied and glitter over the top. Don't worry if you have boys, there are many boyish colours as well as flat matt black. I have over 50 stencils for the kids to pick from, so surely there is something for everyone. The tattoos can last 2 - 5 days and are water proof, making them ideal for pool parties.
