A few photos from the busy season just passed. 🍃
Late autumn is a quieter season for facepainters. I miss the excitement of summer but am also enjoying the slower pace. It’s so nice to re-stock our kits, refine our designs, and see if we can make our booking system a little more streamlined.
Still taking bookings for parties, festivals and events, so please do message us if you need a single facepainter, or a facepainting team!

We’ll be bringing our roving glitter artists again this year!
We love the winter wonderland created each June by the Solstice Search Party team.

Embrace the dark and celebrate the longest night of the year at Solstice Search Party.Now in its fifth year, we are excited to once again invite visitors of all ages to take part in this free event celebrating winter in Warrnambool and our creative connection to land and raw wild nature.

Using our SUV awning reduces our set up time by half. It makes setting up for any market so much quicker and easier.

We geddit…not everyone loves their face being painted. Some find it a little confronting, or a little tickly. Others don’t like the extra attention it can attract.

Thankfully, our team of facepainters can facepaint upper arms, forearms, the backs of hands…even legs!

Lots of options, and we are happy to accomodate our designs to suit individual preferences. Our goal is to make facepainting an accessible, safe and fun activity.

The Facepainters Southwest recently had the chance to facepaint these two gorgeous performers for their show. We just love the buzz of backstage, so it’s always a pleasure to paint for dance or theatre.

Increasingly, adults are jumping into the facepainting chair and we are ALL FOR IT! Over the last few years bookings have increased for adult parties, weddings, nursing home celebrations and even work socials.
Folk in their sixties and seventies will sidle up shyly and admit I’ve never been facepainted in my life” or
“I usually just get the grandkids done but I’d love a little flower”.

We love this!

What a gorgeous Easter Saturday! After a full seven hours of facepainting I’m tired but thankful. I mean, look at these kids- so sweet and just rocking their facepaints!

March: fun festivals, celebrations and small moments of connection along the way.
I so love those tiny, rich moments with kids and families. The little gasp of wonder at a mirror-reveal, or even an older sibling that stands by the chair and says “It’s ok. It doesn’t hurt.” Such a delight to witness it all.
