All About Our Face Painting

The Balloon Guy provides professional face painting for birthday parties, corporate events, festivals, and community celebrations across Los Angeles and Southern California. Our artists work efficiently without sacrificing detail, painting roughly 10 to 15 guests per hour depending on design complexity, so lines stay short whether you're hosting a backyard party or a 500-person company picnic. Face painting is one of our most requested entertainment services because it works for every age and every kind of event.

Every artist we send uses professional-grade, cosmetic face paint designed for use on skin, never craft paint or substitutes. We bring the same execution standard to a birthday party as we do to a corporate activation, and our team of entertainers is the same group behind balloon installations for major brands, nonprofits, and events across Los Angeles.

Face Painting FAQs

The cost of hiring a face painter in Los Angeles depends on the length of your event, number of guests, location, and whether you would like to add additional entertainment services. The Balloon Guy provides custom quotes for birthday parties, private celebrations, corporate events, festivals, and community events throughout Los Angeles and Southern California. Contact us with your event details, and our team will help you choose the right face painting package for your celebration.

A professional face painter can typically paint approximately 10 to 15 guests per hour, depending on the complexity of the designs requested. Smaller cheek or hand designs may allow more guests to participate, while detailed full-face designs take additional time. For larger events, festivals, school celebrations, or corporate events, we may recommend multiple face painters or a simplified design menu to help keep lines moving.

Our face painters use professional-quality, cosmetic face painting products designed for use on skin. For the comfort and safety of guests, we do not recommend face painting on broken, irritated, or visibly sensitive skin. Parents of children with known skin sensitivities or allergies may choose a small design on the hand or arm, or skip face painting if they have concerns.

Our face painters create a wide variety of colorful designs for children and guests, including butterflies, unicorns, rainbows, superheroes, princess-inspired designs, animals, dragons, flowers, sports themes, holiday designs, and more.
