Birthday Party Face Painting in Minneapolis
There’s no better birthday party upgrade than a face painter who makes every child feel like the star of the show. Our artists work quickly — painting 15 to 20 faces per hour — so no one spends the whole party waiting in line. We offer full-face designs, half-face looks, and quick cheek art for smaller time windows. From superheroes and butterflies to dragons and unicorns, our designs are as unique as the kids wearing them.
Corporate Events & Company Picnics
Face painting isn’t just for kids’ parties — it’s a crowd-pleasing activity that keeps adult guests engaged and gives your event a memorable, fun atmosphere.

Add-On Magic: Airbrush Art & Glitter Tattoos
Want to offer your guests even more? Add airbrush art or glitter tattoos to your entertainment lineup and give every guest an experience they’ll be talking about all night.
Our airbrush designs bring a whole new level of artistry to your event — ultra-smooth gradients, intricate patterns, and vibrant color that looks incredible on skin. From custom logos for corporate events to bold fantasy designs for themed parties, airbrush art turns heads and sparks conversation.
Our glitter tattoos are a huge hit with kids and teens alike. Applied with skin-safe adhesive and cosmetic-grade glitter, they’re bold, sparkly, and last several days with normal wear. Perfect alongside face painting for guests who want something a little different — or for older kids who feel they’ve outgrown a painted face but still want in on the fun.
Bundle face painting with glitter tattoos or airbrush for the ultimate entertainment station — one setup, multiple experiences, zero downtime in your line.
