Pricing Information for Face Painting
Planning a party or event and wondering how much it costs to hire a face painter? Whether it’s a birthday bash, school fair, or corporate celebration, face painting adds colour, fun, and unforgettable memories and it’s more affordable than you might think.
💷 Face Painter Prices in the UK
Face painting prices vary depending on location, duration, and event type. Typically you can expect to pay £50-75 per hour – some inexperienced artists that are just launching may charge introductory rates that are cheaper to build experience – but bear in mind they will be slower and may only offer a small selection of designs.
Make sure you check they are using professional products and have adequate insurance, and follow good hygiene practices. Ask for examples of their work and setup and be diligent of any fake reviews.
