Face Paint
  • Face painting is a separate extra service from ballooning. At most busy corporate events, Mabel does not have time to provide balloons as well as face painting. However, you can add on this service for an additional fee if you believe there will be time.
  • Mabel Moon can provide up to 2 additional Face Painters if needed, and enough time is given to secure others.
  • Going quickly with simple designs one painter can get through 15 – 17 faces per hour.
  • Mabel does not require hydro.
  • Payment is kindly required before the end of the gig time on the day. Mabel usually has to scoot off to another job and does not have extra time to hunt people down for a cheque.
  • Mabel does not recommend face painting for children under the age of 3 years old.
  • Depending on the event Mabel may discreetly have set out a tip jar but does not actively and openly solicit tips.
  • Mabel only uses professional quality face-paint that is hypo-allergenic and non-toxic. She cannot guarantee nut free as at any long event the child before could have been contaminated.
  • As a friend to our environment, Mabel does not currently offer bling or jewels or single use items to her face painting. When a suitable biodegradable option is found, she will most definitely re-incorporate this beautiful option.
