Highly recommend hiring Arian for a fantastic face painting experience. She came to my daughter's 4th birthday party and we were amazed at the level of detail and beautiful designs that she produced. The kids were stoked with their face paint too. Will definitely be recommending her to everyone asking for a face painter!

We had such a lovely experience with the face painting! The artist was talented, gentle with kids, and really brought my daughter's imagination to life. The colours were vibrant, and the design was flawless. Definitely one of the best face painting experiences we've had!

The beautiful team worked tirelessly at the Henderson Christmas event 2025 and produced immaculate, stunning individual pieces of art to each of the children's faces. Thank you all the joy you bought to this occasion. I highly, highly recommend using this crew for your next party.

Arian is an absolute joy to have at your party. I have booked her twice and she has done an amazing job both times. She got through every kid at the party, as well as a few (too) big kids, and with a smile every time.

Frequently asked questions

Is the paint safe for children?

Yes — I only use professional, FDA-approved, hypoallergenic face paints. They're skin-safe, water-based, and wash off easily with soap and water at the end of the day.

How long does each face take?

It depends on the design. Quick designs (a butterfly, a star, a flag) take 2–3 minutes. Full-face designs take 5–10 minutes. For events, I usually average around 15–20 kids per hour.

What ages do you paint?

Anyone from about 2 years old up — and yes, plenty of grown-ups too! I'm happy to chat through what's appropriate for the age group at your event.

Do you travel across Auckland?

Yes, anywhere in the Auckland region. I'm based in West Auckland but I happily travel to North Shore, Central, East, and South Auckland for events.

How do I get a quote?

Easiest is to text or call me on 021 210 4662, or email facepaintingauckland@gmail.com. Tell me the date, location, type of event, and rough number of kids — I'll come back with a quote within a day.

How far in advance should I book?

2–4 weeks for weekday events; longer for weekend birthdays in school holidays. The earlier you book, the more likely I am to be available — but always feel free to ask for short-notice events.
