Book smart

What to check before you book a face painter

Great face painting is safe, fast and beautiful. When artists reply through My Event Match, these are worth confirming.

  • Skin-safe paints. Ask that professional, cosmetic-grade, hypoallergenic paints are used.
  • Faces per hour. Confirm roughly how many children they can paint so everyone gets a turn.
  • Allergy & sensitivity care. Check how they handle allergies, eczema and patch tests.
  • Working with children. Ask about a current Working with Children Check where relevant.
  • Setup & shade. Confirm space, seating and shade for outdoor events.

Face painting FAQs

No. My Event Match is an Australia-wide marketplace that connects you with independent event professionals. We match you with verified face painters in your area, then you book directly with the one you choose.
It depends on the design. Quick cheek art can move fast, while full-face designs take longer. Share your group size and time and painters will suggest a design mix so everyone gets a turn.
Professional face painters use cosmetic-grade, skin-safe paints. Always mention allergies or sensitive skin when you enquire so the artist can advise or patch test.
Pricing usually depends on the hours booked and your location. Because you receive quotes from matched painters, you can compare before you commit. Submitting your request is free.
Many artists offer designs for all ages, plus glitter tattoos, Halloween and special effects. Mention what you need when you enquire.
Two to four weeks is ideal for weekends and school holidays. Last-minute requests are still worth sending.
