Victoria at Big Grins made our son's party memorable with her balloon twisting.
Response from Big Grins Face Painting & Body Art:
It was a pleasure! You, your family, and the kids were just awesome!
She was very professional, patient and totally talented. I would recommend Big Grins to anyone looking to entertain at a kids party. I would definitely use their artists again!
Victoria was great. She was extremely patient with all of the kids (ages ranging from 4 to 11) and took her time to do quality work with every picture she painted. They were beautifully done, the kids were thrilled and I was impressed with how engaged they were - everyone was excited to not only pick out their picture but also to watch others have theirs done. The balloon twisting was a big hit as well...it's a nice way to follow up sitting still for the face painting and it was a great party favor to send home with the guests. Highly recommend Victoria and all of the guests agreed that it was a great time.
Victoria was awesome! She arrived on time, got right to work, and delivered whatever design the kids wanted. I highly recommend Big Grins as a perfect addition to your next party. Thanks, Victoria!
Victoria did face painting and balloon twisting at our sons first birthday two weeks ago. She was very patient and accommodating with our guests even when her time was running out. Her designs are really fun and beautiful, I was very impressed. We hope to work with Victoria again at our next event!
Big Grins did an amazing jod face painting the little and not so little kids. She was enjoyable to work with. I'd reccomend for your event.
Response from Big Grins Face Painting & Body Art:
Thank you for the kind words :) It was a pleasure, Frances!
Victoria is everything you want in a vendor/performer for your event. We hired her to do face painting at our daughter's 7th birthday party and were so pleased that we will never work with anyone else. Let's face it, the last thing you want to worry about during a big party is managing a performer's time or ensuring they interact appropriately with children and guest. With Big Grins, we didn't have to worry about a thing. She was sweet and patient with the kids while managing to paint all of their faces with awesome looking creations wihtin the alloted party time. Thank You Big Grins for making our party a total hit!!!

Hello! My name is Victoria Squire. I am a face painter with a background in art and graphic design. My life has always involved art in some way, shape, or form. I have always been interested in bright colors, transformations, connecting people to art, and making other smile. After a series of events I was drawn to professional face painting and body art services. I like how face painting allows other to express another side of their selves and draws people to one another.
I have had the priviledge of painting kids and adults, having them relax while being painted, and seeing the looks on their faces when they see how great they look. Nothing beats seeing everyone's big grins.
I am Marylander. I am originally from the Baltimore/ Towson area, but have been living in Montgomery County for the last 16 years. In addition to painting, I enjoy fish keeping, swimming, and making music.
I make it my mission to provide a fun, magical experience through face painting and body art.
I not only paint for the those attending the event, but also for the host. I help draw people to your event with marketing (social media, word of mouth, etc.), invitations, activities, and providing safe entertainment so you can be at ease. I want to meet your event needs. Contact me to discuss how I can help you!
SUPPLIES: Big Grins uses cosmetic grade supplies that are made specifically for face and body art. I do not use acrylics I predominantly use Paradise and Starblend face paint from Mehron (made in the USA) and have some colors from the Diamond FX, Wolf FX, and FABA brand. These face paints are cosmetic grade and are manufactured in compliance with FDA regulations with FDA approved ingredients. I use Vibe airbrush face and body paint when airbrush face painting or doing body art. I use Endura airbrush temporary tattoo ink (lasts 3-7 with care).
REMOVAL: Basic face painting (non-airbrush) is removable with soap and water. Some use a baby wipe or make up remover to wipe make up off. Other lather the face with cleanser or baby shampoo to "activate" the make up and make it easier to remove. Darker colors may initially leave a "shadow" which may require a second washing in a few minutes. NO SCRUBBING is required. All makeup is removable.
Glitter tattoos and temporary tattoos can be removed with alcohol or baby oil.
We adhere to a cleanliness routines and do not paint on people that are visibly ill or have open cuts or sores.
