Top Ten Face Painting Ideas
Children inspire our designs and come with face painting ideas that are both creative and bold. But without fail, we have our tried and true favourite designs that are always a big hit with the kids. With vibrant colours and bold designs, these 10 favourite face painting ideas have withstood the test of time.

Fairytale princesses are always a popular favourite with our little clients. Add some glitter and a bit of bling to create the perfect finishing touch.
Butterfly
These beautiful insects look great in all colours of the rainbow. Full face, half face or cheek art, it a favourite with kids of all ages.
Tiger
The tiger is by far our most popular animal face. Perfect for both boys and girls, from toddler to teen, tigers come in all colours but by far the most popular traditional orange with black stripes.
Cat
Simple as a kitty nose and whiskers to a full face design, the cat is an adorable feline favourite and one of our most requested faces.
Dog
They come in many breeds and colours, our puppy dog faces are a great introduction to the face painting novice and popular with toddlers.
Spiderman
My spidey senses tell me that Spiderman is one awesome super hero with a huge fan following. With its bold red, white and black design, it’s always a party pleaser with the lil’ tykes.
Batman
Next to Spiderman, Batman is easily our next most popular superhero. The dark night bat mask is perfect as a half face, cheek art or just as a simple hand design for newbies.
Rainbow
Always a popular request, we add some unique touches to create a memorable look. You might just find a pot of gold.
Shark
Kids love fish of all kinds, but the shark is an ocean favourite. Only as scary as your imagination, this face is a popular request from boys and girls.
Flower Crown
It may not be the sixties, but our hippy flower crown is far out. Add some sparkle for that added groovy look.
Bodyssey & Beyond Conference 2016!
The Bodyssey & Beyond conference is an annual event for party and event staff held at the gorgeous Banff Centre for the Arts, nestled between the mountains in Banff, Alberta.
The conference, hosted by the CAFABA – Canadian Association of Face and Body Artists, is filled with workshops for all types of entertainers.
The Happy Faces Party team touched down in Alberta to attend the conference in 2016, allowing our face painting artists and balloonists to attend workshops and fine-tune their skills!
We are excited to learn, network, take in the beautiful scenery, then come back to Toronto with all sorts of new tips & tricks.
