Quick face painting tips for face painters and parents!

Parents: 
Do you want your kids to smile and have a great time at their party? Do you want the money you spent on that day to be well spent and bring joy and fun to all your guests? 

Face Painters:
Do you want to have the kids at an event you're doing having fun and smile? Do you want the parents to be delighted at their kids amazement and feel like their money was well spent?

Well here's some of the concerns some of our clients have had when they have spoken to us regarding face painting. First of all as a face painter and a parent you have to make sure the paints being used on the kids face are FDA approved and hypoallergenic paints.
Professional facepainters make sure this is always the case. But as a parent it's your job to make sure who you're hiring is a professional. Also demand that they use non-toxic glitter.

It's always a good idea to wipe off the kids face with a wet baby wipe to make sure all dirt and oil is removed before the paint is applied. This facilitates the face painters job and it looks much better esthetically. But something else we've noticed from our phone calls has been that some kids have had unpleasant face painting experiences before and the reason for that is very simple but very easy to miss. 

Face painters and Parents alike, keep in mind that face paints DO NOT have any sunblock protection as a matter of fact they actually increase the sun effect on your child's face so if you are having face painting events outside at a park or a garden where there's sun make sure you put sunblock on your kids faces BEFORE you paint their faces so that they will not get any painful sunburn and make a beautiful activity like face painting a very unpleasant one.
