$200 - One Hour of Face Painting

$150 - Each Additional Hour


We are happy to travel, however the basic booking rule is that our artists must be booked to paint for at least as long as it takes to drive to and from the event, set up and clean up. Most areas in Chicago as well as the immediate northern suburbs require a 2 hour booking. Western, southern and south west suburbs may require more time.

What are you paying for?

You are paying for an insured professionally trained artist to paint high quality designs on your guests. You are paying for professional quality cosmetics and glitters that are designed to be used on the skin and wash off easily.

We do NOT use poster paints or craft glitter. NEVER allow any face painter to use these on your guests. They are not safe for the skin and can cause serious reactions, including rashes, blisters and eye injury.

Only the BEST!

Chicago Face Painters only works with the very BEST artists Chicago has to offer. When we need additional artists for an event, or when we refer you to another artist due a scheduling conflict, we only use artists who meet the above criteria. No exceptions.
