Q: Why do you recommend including artistic party services at events? 

A: To give your guests awesome memories and also to help them enjoy the party. We repeatedly observe people opening up and having an easier time connecting with each other after spending time engaging with an artist. People enjoy events more after being face painted and posing in the photo booth, or engaging with the emcee and dancing, or getting a balloon creature or a henna tattoo. If you want to stir up your guests’ happy-meters beyond expectation, book Paint On Your Face to entertain at your next event!

A: Yes, absolutely! We’ve noticed that facepainting has a visible impact at parties. Our facepainters create real art for people, which often truly surprises them, and we see a shift in the recipient from thinking “this is silly” to “WOW, this is a gift!”  Many party planners have witnessed the benefits of adding facepainting to their events—it’s a natural gateway to opening people up so they really enjoy themselves. We love this effect and love our jobs!
