face painting
Theme-Park Style Painting at Your Party
Yes, face painting has changed a bit in the last few years! The industry is red-hot, providing so many advancements that there are conventions dedicated to this new art form. I am an award-winning face painter who follows all the industry recommendations and is prepared to bring you the best. The make-up goes on smooth and doesn't crack or itch, and children and parents alike are thrilled with the quick and vivid designs. This type of face painting is always a crowd-pleaser, rain or shine.
Why Hire a Professional Face Painter?
Greta Gonzalez Face Painting is licensed and insured, as well as reliable, punctual and professional. Additionally, I am able to customize the painting to suit your theme and estimate the time needed for the style of painting you desire in the time your budget allows. Only the highest-quality make-up, glitters and powders are used, meaning that all these products are especially made for use on the face and are completely safe.
I am able to work quickly because of my years of design experience, using colors to their fullest potential, adding highlights and shadows that make images pop. As a mother and preschool assistant, working with children is my specialty. I will adjust the level of detail in my painting according to the patience of each child sitting in my chair and the number of people waiting in line.

Quality
The top-quality face paint that I use is professional grade, hypo-allergenic make-up that dries in minutes and comes off easily with mild soap and water (or a wet wipe). Even the glitter is especially formulated for using on the face. The press-on jewels are an absolute favorite for princesses, fairies and butterflies as well as for flaming swords and dragons!
Greta's artwork will make your event an unforgettable success!
Planning Your Party
Be sure to contact me as soon as you have set your date to check on availability. If you are flexible, I can often work with you to fit you into a tight weekend or on short notice. Book 1 hour for every 12 children, and don't forget siblings and adults. It is recommended that you have other activities for the children while I am face painting. I'll give the kids numbers if they are anxious about keeping their order in line. This allows them to enjoy the craft, play, or just watch. Don't limit face painting to outdoor parties, winter birthdays are a perfect opportunity to hire a face painter. Let their imaginations soar!
Don't forget the big kids!
If you are planning a block party, corporate picnic or large event, I have a full set-up to accomodate large crowds. I have a tent, chair and tables and will only require some space to set up. Nothing could be easier! I work with other professional entertainers, and together we can offer a complete entertainment package and keep lines to a minimum.
Other Services
I also do light balloon art for private birthday parties. Choose flowers or swords for me to bring along as party favors. Colors vary. I usually like to make them in advance to allow more time for face painting at the party, but I can twist at the party at the same rate as my face painting. Check out my glitter tattoos and henna for additional entertainment!

Client Testimonials I can live for two months on a good compliment. -Mark Twain
Hi Greta, It was great meeting you at Aldersgate yesterday. You did such an amazing face painting job on my son Thomas. He loves Spiderman and was very proud of his face! He always loves to dress up like Spiderman! I can tell you use very high quality face paints on the children. Normally, my son is scratching the paint off of his face after a couple of minutes, but he left your face paint on until the evening! It was very soft and he couldn’t even tell he had it on! I was very impressed! It was also super easy to wash off. He washed his face all by himself with a warm washcloth. Good luck to you in your new business. I will definitely recommend you to my friends for parties!

I can't say enough about Greta and her wonderful artwork. I hire her to paint faces downstairs at my gallery door on King Street. I can hardly believe the beautiful designs she comes up with...fairies and tigers, monsters and superheroes, and she is so wonderful with the children. They are so pleased with their transformations, and the parents are beaming as well. She honestly brings me more business than any other marketing strategy I have used. I can count on a full gallery on the mornings that she is downstairs painting. Greta, I wish you all the best in your growing business!

You might want to include on your website the idea of church picnics, company family events and school carnivals. I believe that the adults had as much fun watching your work at our church picnic as the kids did getting their new faces! I have found that older people love to see kids at church....I believe that it gives them energy and hope.

I can't thank you enough for helping me out with Bobby's birthday party. The kids had a blast and they looked great. Enclosed are a few photos you can use to promote your talent.
