Why hire a professional face painter?

 

When you hire Faces Alive, you're hiring an artist who has 20 years of experience working with children, honing their skills, researching proper technique and supplying professional cosmetic-grade supplies.  Faces Alive artists are speedy and have the ability to paint in larger crowds quickly without becoming overwhelmed.

 

You will be communicated with professionally, and you can be assured that your artist will show up and be ready to paint on time for your event.  Your guests will be greeted with a happy smile, a tidy appearance and 5 star treatment.   All of these factors make the cost well worth it for corporations and private parties alike.

 

What paints do you use?

 

I use a variety of cosmetic face paints (Paradise, DFX, TAG, Snazaroo) which are all FDA compliant and very easy to remove with a baby wipe or mild soap and water.  I also use cosmetic glitter that is safe to apply near the eyes.

​

How far will you travel?

 

I service Shreveport, Marshall, Longview and surrounding areas.  I am willing to travel further for an additional travel fee, or for multiple hour jobs, so be sure to ask!

​

How do I book you?  What will you ask me?

 

You can call or text me at 903-472-1605, or email me at Angie@facesalive.com .  I will need to know the location of your party, as well as the time and date.  I'll also need to know whether I will be located indoors or outside, and if shelter is available.  (I'm not able to paint outdoors in July and August unfortunately, due to the extreme temperatures.)

 

Do you require a deposit?

 

I do require a deposit, which is normally $50 for a standard party.  This deposit assures that I will hold that date and time for your event.  Unless a prior agreement has been made, your booking will NOT be final until your deposit is received, so please get it in as soon as possible.  I take deposits via credit card, Paypal, Venmo, or you can mail a check.

 

​

What forms of payment do you accept?

 

You may pay via check, cash, Venmo or credit card (3.5% fee for credit cards).  Payment is due by the day of the event, and advance payment is always welcome since I know everyone is pretty busy on party day.

 

How far in advance should I book?

 

It's never too early to book!  You should book your event with me as soon as you know the time and date.  Saturdays fill up fast especially in the Spring and Fall, so don't wait too long!  I am often available on Fridays and Sunday afternoons, so if your party date is flexible and I am booked on the Saturday you are interested in, ask about alternatives.  I'll try my best to work with you so that we can make it happen. 

 

Would you consider donating your services for my charitable event?

 

While I absolutely love contributing toward worthy causes, I must limit the amount of time I donate to charities, since this is my full time job and sole source of income.   I choose several charities each year that are close to my heart, and I am not able to accept additional donated jobs at this time.  Thanks for understanding!
