Maryland Face Painter Exposes Birthday Party Face Painting Tips for Parents

BEL AIR, MARYLAND, January 28, 2011 (Press-News.org) Maryland Face Painter Exposes Birthday Party Face Painting Tips for Parents "The 11 Biggest Mistakes To Avoid When Hiring A Maryland Face Painter!"

Before you make any decision about hiring a face painter, make sure you ask anyone you are considering the following 11-questions. Trust me; it will save you a LOT of headaches and hassles later.

1. Are you back-ground checked? The truth is, 97%+ of face painters and entertainers are NOT back-ground checked. If you are going to let someone you have never met into your home or other party/event place, you want to make sure they are legitimate.

2. Do you have any references? Many face painters are good but some are not. You really do not want to "chance" your party/event to someone which is not going to come through for you. This extra "reassurance" will make your life a lot more relaxing the day of the party or event.

3. Are you a full-time face painter? Many face painters are only part-time and their skills are just not refined for every audience. I am not saying part-time face painters are not qualified, but be sure to ask the other questions here before hiring them; as they usually do not have the same experience.

4. How do I know you will show up for the party or event? The truth is, many entertainers have a bad reputation for showing-up late, or worse yet, not even showing up! Make sure the face painter is going to send you a confirmation letter and/or asks you for a deposit so you know they really will show!

5. What ages are your face painting appropriate for? In order to have the best show and party ever, you must ask the face painter what ages their face painting is good for. If they tell you its perfect for every age.. Every face painter is unique and only works for a certain age range. Only a few can engage children and adult audiences too - - this is a vital question to ask!!!

6. Once the show is over, do you leave right away to do another party? Most entertainers are notorious for trying to pack in WAY too many shows for the day. Make sure the person you hire is actually going to stay after the show and at least do a "meet and greet" for your guests. A Prima Donna is NOT what you want at your event. Choose someone who is actually going to be friendly to your guests and answer those questions after the show like, "How did you get into face painting", "How did you do that!" (alright, well maybe they can not answer THAT one!)

7. Do you guarantee your face painting? 99%+ of face painters do not guarantee their services. If you do not like it, they say oh well and hope you will not tell anyone. Make sure they have a money-back guarantee so if you are not happy, you do not pay.

8. Are you FULLY-INSURED? Many face painters are good however if you book someone who does not take what they do serious enough to not invest in performers insurance you should really take caution.

9. Is your face paint non-toxic? Most face painters buy their face paint from stores like Wal-Mart, etc. Make sure the face painter you book only uses face paints which are manufactured using only ingredients fully compliant with EU & FDA toy and cosmetic regulations, and are non-toxic.

10. Are your face paints Hypo-Allergenic? Ask the face painters you speak with if Face they are ONLY using Skin-friendly face paints which are specially formulated to be friendly to the most delicate skin and are fragrance-free.

11. Is the face paint easy to remove? Verify the face paints are all water-based, so they are as easy to get off as they are to put on.

I hope this helps in your search for the person to make your party or event the one they will talk about this year!
