Face Painting by Carina

I’ve been Face painting for over 19 years and adore being around children and seeing happy faces when I create fun faces! Currently we only service Connecticut. Due to the need for customization and supplies, we are booking a month in advance for Balloon artistry. A custom concept image will be created for you after we discuss your theme and colors. We get booked months in advance for Saturday and Sunday events so please consider booking as soon as possible to ensure our availability. No outdoor events after October 31 unless weather is warmer than 65 degrees. We resume outdoor events in April when weather is consistently above 65 degrees. Please also keep in mind that when you reach out to a pro- we get charged up to $50 just for you to ask questions. I try to explain all you need to know in my profile so we only need to focus on the preferences and not the actual quality of our work. We appreciate you for considering us, but please refrain from doing so if you are not really booking an event. Our rates begin at $135 per hour. Up to 12 guests per hour. We have worked events such as: Vicki Soto 5 k annual race event Beardsley Zoo Fall Fun Stratford Day Westport Parks & Rec Bridgeport Juneteenth The Farm at Carter Hill Terryville Grass Drag races Quinnipiac Women’s Basketball Democratic Town Committee picnics Alex’s Lemonade Power Remodeling Group Ridgefield Playhouse Woodcock Nature Center Little Goose of Fairfield Halloween Happy Hour Sails up for Cancer Swim Across the Sound Alzheimer’s Run LivFree Nehemiah Commission Friends of Bridgeport Library Back to School event Chapel Street School field day Barnum Festival Wing Ding Milford Oyster Festival Faerie Frolic Choice Pets - retail events Greenwich Fun Run And so many more events! Our rates are hourly with options for one, two or even 3 painters. - depending upon the expected guests needing to be painted. We start at $135 per hour. And $75/hr for each additional painter per hour. Travel 15 miles outside of Stratford radius - an additional travel fee will be imposed. Add-ons Include large area gems, head pieces, glitter tattoos. We can custom order temporary tattoos for your event!!! 30 days advance notice required. Ask about our balloon decorations! We offer that as well! We create custom curated concepts with your vision in mind. $45 a linear foot includes set up and break-down. Backdrops and accessories are extra. A travel fee is applied for any gig outside of 15 miles from Stratford. We build balloon structures on site and generally require 2-1/2 hours to set up. I pride myself on my creative work, timeliness and follow through with my prospective clients. I may reach out to you during the review process- so as not to fall prey to missing your event or other issues. Please don’t be offended, but I find that most of my clients appreciate gracious and thorough follow up. I offer the very best to each of my clients including custom invoicing, ability to pay using credit or debit, and gifts for my small friends in a private setting. Children under 2 will not be face painted. Sick or children with open sores cannot be face painted but we might be able to paint arms or legs. I ask only that: you the client, provide weather and temperature protected environment, do not allow children to lean on or touch any of my supplies or case, and that my small guests get a number so that we can ensure everyone has fun and gets painted! Damage as a result of touching, moving, or knocking over equipment will be a minimum of $300 surcharge. Case damage as a result of recklessness and no adherence to the NO TOUCH RULE is $700. In all the years I have done this most of my friends have never defied my request. This is how we make money. It is not a hobby. It is joy and sometimes not easy. Not everyone can be creative on the fly. Please respect our work and our time and our commitment to your guests. We are trained professionals with years of experience and thousands invested. We only use cosmetic grade supplies. Sanitize before each event. And during. We do not and will never use acrylic paint on skin. Ours wipes off easy peasy and no tears! Thank you! I look forward to creating a magical and creative event!
