I am a new bee. I brought myself a bunch of paint from you - they are all lovely and so much nicer to use than the toy shop facepaint. I am inspired by you. I will post some of my designs on Facebook as I develop them. I do two markets in the weekend and I am hoping to do a festival or two this summer. thanks from Sandra in Nelson, New Zealand.

So you can DEFINITELY put your prices up!! And if you're in that kind of demand, where people are lining up for 1 hour, you can easily DOUBLE what you charge -- especially if people are saying that your face painting is on par with face painters they've seen at Disneyland. Don't by shy, just put your prices up -- the worst that can happen is you see a drop in customers/clients -- in which case you can just lower your prices again...but I highly doubt you'll have to do that based on the information you just gave me :-) Good luck!!

However, much of it did not help because I face paint in Jackson, MS and the surrounding area. I've been a decorative painter for 30 years so it was very easy for me to pick up on the face painting strokes. NO ONE in this area face paints. I've had people at every event I've done say that they paid $15 dollars to have their child's face painted at Disney Land and they were no better than mine. I had no idea what the market would bear in this area in these financial times. I've only been charging $5 per face! The last function I did had in excess of 8,000 people come through. I painted from 4 pm until 10:15 pm. I had someone in my chair every 8 to 10 minutes and some people waited in line for over an hour! Your comments certainly struck a nerve with me and let me know that I am not charging enough - but, I don't know how much to charge. I don't want to lose business because people don't see the value in my service. PLEASE tell me how to handle this!!! THANKS, Sherry Burdsal Hi, I just watched your video and it was very informative.

I have wondered if I could do this myself (make use of 5 years RMIT art school). I'm almost convinced..I've just retired from children's ministry of 15 years, I got your face painting tips some time ago to do an outreach face-painting gig. I always had thoughts about how to do a face painting business (gigs, events, childcare etc.) website (blog especially), videos etc....offline & online Thanks heaps for helping me realise it IS possible!! Can't wait for the next video tutorials. Keep 'em comin' How much for the new manuel Philadelphia? Kind regards Jacqui in Kiama NSW Hey Philadelphia
