01

Send an enquiry

Tell me when, where, and how many little faces. I'll confirm within 24 hours.

02

Fold-out chair, ring light, cosmetic-grade paints, glitter. Set up in under ten minutes.

03

Everyone leaves beaming

Around twelve happy faces an hour at a private party, or eighteen to twenty at a bigger event.

every kind of party

Parties, galas, and everything in between.

Birthdays are my bread and butter — and I love a good school gala too.

Kids' birthday parties

Around twelve happy faces an hour with quick three-to-five-minute designs, so no one waits long. My most-booked — and my favourite.

School galas & fairs

Fast crowd-pleasers at eighteen to twenty kids an hour. Happy to invoice the school or PTA.

Corporate & community days

Family fun days, markets, and club events across Auckland. For a bigger crowd I can quote a second artist.

where I paint

Face painting across Auckland.

North Shore based, Auckland-wide on request.

I'm based on Auckland's North Shore, so I'm quick to reach Takapuna, Devonport, Milford, Birkenhead, Albany, Browns Bay and Torbay — often with no travel charge. I also head Auckland-wide on request, with a small travel charge further afield. See the areas I cover →

questions?

The big ones.

Couldn't find yours? Get in touch.

01

How much does a face painter cost in Auckland?

Most Auckland face painters charge about $100–$150 an hour. I keep it simple: a flat $130/hour with paints, glitter, setup and cleanup all included — no minimum and no call-out fee. A typical 2-hour birthday is $260 and covers roughly 24 happy faces.

02

How do I hire a face painter in Auckland?

Pick your date, estimate how many kids and how long (one hour suits about 12 kids), then send an enquiry. I reply within 24 hours, a 30% deposit locks in your date, and I bring everything and set up in under ten minutes.

+
03

What ages do you paint?

From 3 to 99. I ask the little ones first — some aren't ready, and that's fine. Adults are welcome too.

+
04

Are the paints safe?

Yes — cosmetic-grade, hypoallergenic, and compliant with EU and Australian cosmetic safety standards. I patch-test on request. Washes off with warm water and a soft cloth.

+
05

How much space do you need?

A chair, a table, and about 2m × 2m. Indoors or out. If it's raining we just need a roof.

+
06

Where do you travel?

Auckland's North Shore primarily, and Auckland-wide on request. A small travel charge may apply depending on distance.

+
07

How many kids can you paint in an hour?

At a private party, around 12 guests an hour. At a public event with simpler designs, 18 to 20 an hour.

+
08

What if it rains?

Reschedule for free up to 48 hours out. Past that, I still show up — face paint works fine under a gazebo.

+
09

How do I book?

Fill out the enquiry form and I'll reply within 24 hours. A 30% deposit confirms your date, with the balance due at least one day before the event.

+

Can we pick designs in advance?

Absolutely. Send the party theme and I'll prep a menu for your crew.
