Finding unique face painting designs can sometimes be a challenge. There are quite a few artists that copy the work or ideas from other people. While this isn't really right to do, it does happen. Anyone looking for a truly unique experience will want to find someone with a good level of experience. These artists are the most confident and most will have a wide range of skills acquired over time.
Do you need a theme?
If you have a theme in mind for your event, you will want to look at the artist's portfolio to get a better idea of what they might be able to produce. Some artists are very versatile and can execute a variety of different designs very easily. Others may have a very pronounced or signature style. You may want to talk to the artist in person, by email or on the phone if you have questions. Most artists can show you some preliminary drawings of your ideas if there is a critical need such as the times when people will be showcasing a product. Chances are that your more experienced artists have provided a design similar to what you have in mind at some point in their careers.
Kids or adults?
Face painting services can be used for kids, adults or both. If your event will have children, you will want someone that has worked with kids on a regular basis. While you might assume that children are always happy and cooperative when it comes time for face painting, that isn't always the case. To avoid temper tantrums and other problems with kids, find someone that knows the best routines for working with children.
Adult face painting can be very fun in a variety of settings. Retro themed events, historical events, parties and things like masquerade balls are all great settings for face painting. Don't forget Halloween or Dia de los Muertos for scary fun.
Using face painting in new ways
Using face painting at trade shows and conventions can be a great way to draw attention to your business. Whether its something science fiction-based, fashion-based, shocking, dramatic or just eye catching, this is one technique that provides a lot of value for the price.
Another service that many face painters offer is professional makeup services. For the bride or anyone that is getting a portrait made, this can help people to look their best.
