💰 Pricing & Packages

  • How much does face painting cost?

    Face painting costs PLN 220 per hour for the first three hours and PLN 180 for each additional hour. The minimum booking is 1 hour. For larger events and longer bookings, the scope of service and price are agreed individually. See the full price list.
  • Is there a complete price list?

    Yes. All indicative prices can be found on the price list page. The final quote depends, among other things, on working time, event location, and number of participants.

🎨 Paints & Safety

  • Is face painting safe?

    I use professional paints designed for face and body painting and follow proper hygiene practices. I do not paint on irritated, damaged, or otherwise affected skin. In case of allergies or particularly sensitive skin, it's worth discussing participation beforehand and doing a patch test on a small area of skin.
  • Are the paints safe for children?

    The products used are intended for use on skin. I paint children, provided their skin is healthy and the child feels comfortable and consents to being painted.
  • Do you use hypoallergenic paints?

    I use professional face and body-painting products, in accordance with their intended use and the manufacturer's recommendations. However, no cosmetic product can guarantee complete protection against allergic reactions.
  • Do the paints wash off easily?

    Most paints wash off with warm water and mild soap or makeup remover. For more heavily pigmented colours, a bit of cosmetic oil can help. Skin should not be scrubbed vigorously.

⏳ Painting Time

  • How long does it take to paint one person?

    A simple design on the face or arm usually takes a few minutes. More elaborate, themed designs may take 10–15 minutes or longer. The exact time depends on the chosen design and conditions during the event.
  • How many people can be painted in an hour?

    The pace depends on the designs chosen. One artist typically paints around 8–10 children per hour. With the simplest, quickest designs, the maximum is around 15 children per hour.

🎭 Designs & Themes

  • What designs can be chosen?

    Before the event, I can prepare a design board tailored to its theme, the age of participants, and the available time. The most popular choices are butterflies, animals, flowers, dragons, fantasy characters, and superhero motifs. See face painting in Wrocław for details.
  • Can children choose any design they want?

    Participants usually choose from a prepared design board, which helps keep the queue moving and makes it easier to estimate how long painting will take. With fewer participants, individual requests are also possible.
  • Can I get something custom painted?

    Yes, by prior arrangement. An unusual design may require more time, so it's best to send inspiration before the event and agree on the scope beforehand.

🌧 Weather

  • Can face painting be done outdoors?

    Yes, provided a stable, shaded, and sheltered spot is available, with access to a table and chairs. Equipment and paints should not be exposed to rain, strong wind, or direct sunlight.
  • What if it rains?

    A covered space is needed, or the ability to move the setup indoors. Face paints are not waterproof, so rain and heavy sweating can reduce how long a design lasts.

📸 Additional Attractions

  • Do you also offer other entertainment for events?

    I focus mainly on face painting, body painting and artistic makeup. If you need other entertainment, such as glitter tattoos, balloon modelling or organised games, I can recommend trusted providers.
  • Is a photographer included?

    No, the service does not include a photographer. Photos can be taken by parents, the organiser, or a hired photographer, with the appropriate consent to take and publish photographs of children.

📍 Booking & Travel

  • Where do you provide your services?

    I most often work in Wrocław. By prior arrangement, travel to other locations is also possible, including Oława, Brzeg, Opole, Legnica, and Lubin.
  • How do I book a date?

    Get in touch with the date, location, expected number of participants, event duration, and the type of service you're interested in. Based on that, I'll confirm availability and prepare a quote.
