FAQ about hiring Face Painters in Memphis, TN

How much does a face painter cost in Southwest Tennessee?

Many people allot about 2 hours for face painting services, which typically costs between $150-$200. This price could vary depending on your location, the number of faces that will need to be painted, and the amount of detail requested for the art. Most face painters can handle 12-15 people per hour if they’re providing a fairly simple design. If you’re expecting a large crowd at your event, you may need more than one professional.

How long does face paint take to dry?

Face paint takes only a few minutes to dry, but this can vary depending on what kind of paint the professional is using and how many layers have been applied. Be sure to ask the face painter about their preferred products and specifications.

How long does face paint last?

High-quality face paint can last up to 12 hours, depending on the type of face paint used. However, it’s important to remember that leaving face paint on for long periods of time can clog your pores and cause breakouts.

How long does face painting take?

The time it takes to have your face painted varies greatly depending on several factors. Some face painters are more experienced than others, and therefore quicker with their designs. Simple cheek designs are often completed in 5-6 minutes. Full-face designs take longer to complete, depending on how elaborate and detailed you want the final look to be. Before booking a face painter, be sure to tell them how many faces will need to be painted at your event. This will help you determine how many hours you will need their services.

Does face paint stain clothing?

Most cosmetic face paint is water-based, but that does not guarantee it won’t stain your clothes. To get face paint stains out of clothing, we recommend spot-cleaning the area with baking soda and cold water right away.

Does face paint cause acne?

Face paint does not necessarily cause acne, but leaving face paint on for long periods of time can clog pores and potentially cause breakouts.

Will sweat make face paint come off?

Water-based face paint can come off with sweat, but there are things you can do to prevent this from happening. Ask your face painter about setting sprays, powders, and primers to keep your face paint designs lasting longer in the heat.

Does face paint contain latex?

Some face paints do contain latex, but most high-quality cosmetic face paint does not. A professional face painter will be using FDA-approved cosmetics that are hypoallergenic and safe for kids, with popular brands including Mehron, Wolfe, Cameleon, TAG, and Global. Ask the face painter about the products they use to ensure they are not using craft paint, acrylic paint, or anything else not made specifically for skin.

Is face painting safe?

Professional face painters use high-quality cosmetic paint that is safe to use on your skin.
