Good luck out there 🫡 🙏🏻

🎨Just a little tip for event organisers looking for a face painter🎨

The moment I get a text message “Our face painter’s dropped out last minute! Are you free?”

I already know there’s going to be a twist.
And sure enough, after I ask for the details, it arrives:

Client: “There’s a £30 stall fee… but you can keep whatever you earn!”

Ah. Mystery solved.

My Answer: “I’m really sorry, I only work on a hired basis.”

Because the truth is, that first face painter probably didn’t suddenly fall ill, have an emergency or get swept away by a bouncy castle. They were more likely offered a proper PAID booking instead and took it.

Not professional or something I’d ever agree with, or do myself once I’d committed to an event, but unfortunately it happens a lot with some more ‘unreliable’ people who claim to be professional face painters.

But to be honest not even a genuine reliable professional face painter ever wakes up thinking, “Brilliant, I’ll pay £30 to go to work today and hope the universe feels generous.” That’s not a job, that’s a gamble.

Face painters are part of the entertainment and attract crowds. Big ones. Put out a sign and a queue appears, and all the neighbouring stalls start edging closer for the free footfall. And that’s why they should be paid fairly for their skills and their time.

If event organisers want to recoup the fee they’ve paid the artist, it’s easy:

💴 add a tiny amount to the entry price,
💴 have a volunteer collect payments,
💴 use tokens,
💴 use wristbands ….. whatever suits the event.

Any of those options will comfortably cover the face painter’s fee and usually give the event organiser a bit extra to play with.

But expecting a reliable professional facepainter to pay to be there and hope that they break even? That’s exactly how you end up with no face painter at all because generally speaking most professional face painters wouldn’t even consider it.

Book them and pay them properly and they’ll show up with colour, smiles and a ready-made queue.
