September 19, 2024Such a great job at our event - highly recommend
Marina was the ultimate professional - had great energy and engaged with the kids and her designs were beautiful! We had her do face painting at a Fall Equinox event for our residents - and she really added a great vibe to the event!

September 9, 2024Beautiful designs and great with toddlers
We booked Marina for our 4 year olds unicorns party and she was fantastic. She arrived early to set up and was able to create beautiful designs for about 10 kids in an hour. Would definitely work with her again

I asked Mariana to do face paintings for my daughter's 3rd birthday party. I had never used Gig Salad before, so Marina graciously had a chat with me prior to booking. She was very cool and I liked her right away over the phone. She answered my questions and told me how she worked. She followed up a couple of days prior to the event and arrived early wearing a very adorable and festive outfit. Her artwork was amazing and the kids all looked so magical with their face paintings. Thank you Marina for making our event so special.

September 16, 2022Kids loved her!
We hired Marina for my daughter's 5th birthday and highly recommend her for any face painting needs. She was very professional and the kids loved the face painting she did (unicorns, mermaids, stars...she did it all!). We had 15+ kids and she got through everyone with so much calm and grace. Communication prior to the event was great and all the kids left the party so happy with their face painting. Thanks again, Marina!

It was my sincere pleasure to facepaint the birthday child and all her friends. What a sweet and lovely group of kids! I am so glad to hear all the kiddos were left happy and content - that makes ME happy! :)
Thank you for letting me facepaint at your party.

What to expect
I will show up 15-30 minutes early to set up my facepainting station with my paint gear. All I need prepared before I arrive typically is a table and two chairs: one for me and one for my little facepainting client.
An important thing to know about facepainting - and this will help you find the best facepainters around - is that a good facepainter can do 6-10 intricate and detailed face designs in one hour. If you want quantity over quality a good facepainter would be able to accommodate and do about 20 faces in that same houe, but the designs are smaller and simpler. We call that cheek art.
If you have an event with for example 50 people expected, and you only need entertainment for 1 hour, you probably need more than one facepainter.
But that's no problem! I have some great facepainter friends! :)
About
A little bit about me
I reeeeeally enjoy facepainting, and when I mix and match color with glitter and smiles, we have us a great party!! If you want will add glitter tattoos for a fun time and extra pazzazz!
As a Teaching Artist in the New York city schools in creative dance, hula dance, mixed media arts and crafts, and puppetry, I have experience and patience in working with children of all ages across many different disciplines. My facepainting sessions draw from my years of working with groups of children. As a New York theatre and movement artist I have decades of experience in entertaining children and adults alike.
Hiring Marina's Fun Faces will guarantee a fun time and many smiles (and lots of ocean safe glitter of course)!
Additional booking notes
As a faceapinter I travel with all my color and glitter. All I need is a smiling face, a table and chairs to sit on for me and the paintee!
As a hula dancer for a kids' party, the easiest to start the music is with an iPhone hook up. But playing the music is something we can discuss beforehand. Strength of speakers depend on if we're outside or inside etc.
