Booked for Birthday party

Marie was wonderful. She came exactly on time and had everything she needed with her. She set up her stuff very quickly and efficiently and each child’s face was painted beautifully. All the kids loved their faces and the parents messaged me saying the face painting on their child was amazing. Would highly recommend Marie.

Party Showcase — The Patient London Art Tutor Making Five-Year-Olds Feel Like Fairies

What we loved about this event

Working as a professional face painter since 2015, this London-based vendor draws on her background as an art tutor to connect effortlessly with young guests. Parents consistently praise this gentle approach, with one recent client noting just how "kind and patient" the artist was while entertaining an excitable group of five-year-olds. Combining high-quality paints with an efficient technique honed at large fun fairs, she quickly manages busy queues to ensure everyone receives a sparkly transformation. The resulting designs are widely celebrated as "beautiful," turning eager partygoers into glittering characters while maintaining a calm, pleasant atmosphere. By arriving early to prepare her station, the supplier provides a reliable, five-star service that ultimately made one young girl's celebration "extra special."

What client said

“

Amazing face painter! She was so kind and patient with my 5-year-old daughter and her friends, and the face painting was beautiful. It made her day extra special. Highly recommend!
