Face & Body Painting with shine on
Colourful, creative, and fun face painting designs that bring smiles to parties, festivals, school events, and special celebrations.
Professional Face Paint for Kids & Adults across Melbourne
Nothing lifts a party quite like a face painting — and we must say, we're pretty good at it.
Why people book us
Artists who actually know what they're doing. Our team works with kids and adults every week, so we can smash out a quick design for those full and fast-paced events or sit down and do something genuinely detailed for someone who wants to be the best-dressed person at the party.
Paint that's safe on real skin. We use hypoallergenic, water-based face and body paint that meets international safety standards — gentle enough for sensitive skin, vibrant enough to still look incredible in every photo.
Connection first. Two minutes or an hour, everyone gets our full attention — a proper chat, genuine interest, no clock-watching. The artwork's great, but that's how people actually leave feeling amazing.
Something for everyone. Classic kids' favourites like butterflies, superheroes and princesses, right through to glam looks for adults — florals, metallics, themed makeup, body art and glitter.
We keep queues moving. High-turnover events are our specialty — bring in multiple artists, and there's barely a wait.
Custom work, no problem. Corporate brand/logo designs, event themes, team sports colours, complex face and body art — if you can describe it, we can usually paint it.
Fully insured, police-checked and hygienic. Every artist meets strict safety and hygiene standards, so you can book with complete confidence.

body painting
Full body art turns a guest into a living artwork — bold, detailed, and impossible to look away from. Our body painting takes everything we do in face painting and scales it up into something genuinely striking.
How it works:
Partial or full coverage — arms, torso and back for a striking statement piece, or full-body designs for maximum impact
Mostly booked for adults, with teens available on request
Same hypoallergenic, water-based paint we use for face painting — gentle on skin, vibrant in every photo, and washes off easily after
Fully custom designs — work with your theme, brand colours or concept to create something that becomes the talking point of the event
Photoshoots and life announcements
Body paint photographs beautifully, which makes it a genuinely unique way to mark a big moment. We create custom designs for pregnancy announcements and baby bump art, engagements, birthdays and other milestones.
And sometimes there's no big occasion at all — just wanting a shoot that shows off how great you look is reason enough.
Bring your own photographer, or we can arrange one for you so the whole shoot is sorted in one booking.
For brand activations wanting a memorable visual moment, wellness and lifestyle events, and festivals looking for something beyond standard face painting, this is the perfect fit.
Available Melbourne-wide. Send us your brief at least one month prior and we'll take care of the rest.
