Facepainting rates

facepainting in toronto

In order to give you an idea or estimate as to how much my services will cost you there are a few questions that I will need to know the answers to, such as:

1. Who is this for, yourself or for some business or promotion or party?
2. What is the location where the painting to be done? If it is outside of Toronto their will be additional fees.
3. How long are the painted-people having the makeup/paint stay on their bodies for? I offer A) a water based makeup that removes easily with soap and water or serious sweat and friction, and B) an alcohol based makeup that I airbrush on and last up to 7 days , but removes entirely with rubbing alcohol.
6. What kinds of activities will the painted-people be doing? Alcohol based makeups are very strong and durable and can hold up to friction whereas the water based makeups will eventually breakdown and powder off or run or smudge.
7. Are their any logos that have to be done or not? If so, each logo requires a stencil to be custom made. Each stencil is $50.00.
8. Are any props or FX needed? I often am called upon to make swords and helmets and to paint effects onto costumes and people.
9. Is this a rush / last minute / emergency work situation?

* If you are a small business that is the middle agent between me and a corporation then that is considered by me to be corporate work.
* Industry parties and events are considered corporate rates.
* Private parties that are organized and attended by regular everyday people qualify as small business.
* I do NOT pay for booth space or vending space, however I will make some sort of mutually beneficial arrangement.
