FACE PAINTING BY CRYSTAL

F.A.Q
HOW MUCH SHOULD YOU BUDGET FOR FACE PAINTING?
FACE PAINTING IS $150 PER HOUR WITH A 1 HOUR MINIMUM. IF YOU NEED MORE TIME, YOU CAN ADD 30 MINUTE INCREMENTS AT $75 EACH.
Why Do You Charge What You Charge?
I LOVE my job and this is not just a hobby or "side gig" for me, it is my business and just like any business there are operational costs such as: taxes, insurance, cost of materials, transportation and so on.
Safety is very important to me and I want to ensure that my guests are not just happy but safe as well. One way I practice safety is by purchasing paints that are FDA compliant and made for use on the skin.
While I understand that we are always looking for the best deal, and cheaper alternatives, I assure you that I will provide quality service and professionalism at all times.
HOW MUCH TIME SHOULD YOU BOOK FOR YOUR EVENT?
A GOOD RULE IS ABOUT 5 MINUTES PER FACE. SOME DESIGNS TAKE LONGER, SO IF YOU ARE UNSURE, BOOK A LITTLE EXTRA TIME. AFTER THE FIRST HOUR, YOU CAN ADD 30 MINUTE INCREMENTS.
CAN YOU FACE PAINT A CHILD WITH SENSITIVE SKIN?
YES. IF YOUR CHILD HAS KNOWN SENSITIVITY, I CAN DO A PATCH TEST BEFORE PAINTING. I USE COSMETIC GRADE PAINTS MADE FOR SKIN AND DO NOT USE CRAFT PAINT.
WHAT TYPES OF EVENTS CAN YOU SERVICE?
I DO BIRTHDAY PARTIES, FESTIVALS, RENAISSANCE FAIRS, BAR AND BAT MITZVAHS, GRAND OPENINGS, FARMERS MARKETS, FUNDRAISERS, FAMILY REUNIONS, HOLIDAY PARTIES, AND SCHOOL EVENTS. IF YOU ARE UNSURE, CONTACT ME AND I WILL HELP YOU CHECK THE DETAILS.
HOW DO YOU KEEP YOUR EQUIPMENT CLEAN?
I WIPE MY TABLE BEFORE AND AFTER EACH EVENT. I CLEAN BRUSHES BETWEEN GUESTS WITH A BRUSH BATH, CHANGE THE WATER AFTER EACH CHILD, AND WASH ALL BRUSHES AFTER EVENTS.
If My Kid Is Sick Can You Still Paint Them?
No, in order to avoid the spread of potential germs and infections, I do not paint a guest with a cold sore, open wound or continuously runny nose, fevers or signs of illness.
There are circumstances where I will offer the guest an alternative instead but it is in rare conditions. In an effort to not spread germs or any viruses, I will not paint children with Flu-like symptoms or colds. I apologize for the inconvenince but I am looking to the safety of all my guests and your child as well.
What Paints Do You Use?
ALL my paints are FDA compliant. I have a variety in my kit from Diamond FX, Silly Farm, Wolfe FX, TAB, FAB, Mehron, Paradise, Snazaroo brands. They are all cosmetic grade and in compliance with the FDA regulations.
Glitters and sparkles used are Mama Clown Glitter, and Amerikan Body Art Pixie Paint Glitter which is also made specfically for cosmetic purposes.
