So you’ve learnt how to face paint and you want to know how to get your name out there?
Want to start getting gigs and making some money? This article is sure to help you to establishing and marketing your new face painting business.
First things first, you need to have the proper tools and equipment in order to show people that you are a professional and not just a school teacher, mom or dad volunteering to do a bit of face painting.
Here is a check list of things that you’ll need before you try to promote your services…
• Face paints (Professional FDA approved), brushes, sponges, palettes, glitter, iridescent powder, water and cups/jars.
• Tote/Carry Bag – Get a carry bag or even a small suitcase with wheels to hold and keep all your face painting tools. You’ll look professional and it makes it easy to carry around.
• Portfolio – Put together a portfolio of all the face painting designs you’ll be able to paint, to show potential customers want they can request and expect. Make it look good, use photos and laminate them, put them into a nice folder. You can also use it to show people interested in hiring you.
• You’ll very likely need to get a sturdy fold up table and chairs, a sign and an umbrella may be needed for certain gigs.
The next thing you’ll need to do is get business cards printed. They don’t have to be expensive but make them colorful without going overboard with design, simple is best and easy to read. If there’s space put a picture of one of your best designs on the card… and make sure the person in the photo is smiling!

Thanks for the great tips on starting your own business. Another great way to get practise and get your name out there is to do friends kids parties for free and put your business card in the ‘lolly bag’ so other parents know who you are. I’ve got two girls and they love to have their faces done whenever there is a face painter around and not once has any of these painters had business cards out for parents to take with them! I figure that they are either too busy to want any more promotion or they haven’t got any!
thanks
What a fantastic tip from Janet Chenhall, every child takes a party bag home, now they will take me home with them too :O)
