THIS POST WAS WRITTEN BEFORE THE SPEED OF THE SPREAD of COVID-19 and the impact of the disease was fully understood. Please follow the suggestions of the CDC and from well informed doctors, scientists and your government leaders when considering if now is an appropriate time to face paint at parties. Face painters are not part of the essential/critical workforce, so if STAY HOME orders are issued in your state or county, it is best to err on the side of caution and wait until a later date to paint at parties. There are other services you can provide like Video Chat magic shows, face paint story telling or princess parties where the birthday child can spend some time with you while they are practicing social distancing on their birthday. Now is the time to be creative and find alternative ways to keep your business going during this difficult time in COVID-19 has reached your area. Sending you all tons of love! (3/28/2020)
Please keep reading to find some FREE info sheets you can use when face painting at events once you are allowed to and it is safe to do so (including Spanish versions).
Below is the original post.
Given that the entire world is currently in one way or another focused on the Coronavirus, specifically the COVID-19 and its consequences, we have decided that we should make a blog post about the way this new virus will or can affect our industry and how to best approach your customers and the public to keep them safe while still continuing to run your business if your area is not affected and you are still allowed to work.
Feel free to watch this video tutorial explaining some safe practices that you can use to keep your face painting sanitary.
Can Coronavirus/CVID-19 be spread through Face Painting?
Based on the CDC website, "the virus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person. Between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet). It passes through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs. It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes, but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads."
So, the virus can spread during any kind of activity in the presence of a sick person, but there is no indication based on the CDC information in our opinion that the act of applying paint to the face is a way of spread. However, being in close proximity to others if they cough will increase the risk of contracting the virus, and this is hard to avoid while face painting.
Is Face Painting Safe while we have a Coronavirus / COVID-19 outbreak?
As explained before, that depends on how you do it, and of course on the recommendations of your local authorities. Face Painting can be done in a sanitary way to help reduce the chances of spreading the virus, but nothing in life is full proof. In many states, people still go out to work, to the supermarket, the movies, parks, and they use public transportation. Face painting is just another activity in those states where stay at home orders are not in place due to lack of cases of the virus there. Still, now is the time to ramp up your sanitation procedures, no matter where you live.
What Can I do to Help Prevent the Spread of the COVID-19 Virus While I Face Paint?
The CDC Website recommends the following actions:
Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
Stay home when you are sick.
Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
Follow the CDC’s recommendations for using a face mask.
These durable face masks are made of 100% cotton with spandex bands that go around the ears. They come in a bright floral fabric pattern, just as pictured.
How do I wash my mask?
Each mask is steam ironed after being made, but is not laundered. For an extra precaution, please wash your face mask before using it yourself. You can wash your cotton face mask with your regular clothes in any wash cycle, and dry it with any dryer setting. You can also steam iron your mask after each washing.
What else should I know about these face masks?
These hand sewn masks are double layered and pleated. They do not come with filters but they have a built in pocket to add a filter of your own. If you are looking for some tips on sanitary practices and how to deal with Covid-19 as a face painter, check out our blog Face Painting and the Coronavirus Covid-19 .
We do not make any medical claims in regards to the use or effectiveness of these masks. Yet, keep in mind that as of the moment this description was written, in the USA, the CDC recommended the use of fabric masks to regular citizens and asked regular citizens to leave medical grade masks to those working in the medical field.
Who made these face masks?
Each face mask was sewn with care by a professional face painter in the USA. She is a professional face painter in our community and took up sewing masks as a way to earn extra income while faced with the economic impact of social distancing measures due to Covid-19. We are happy to help support her, and help you get a fun, colorful mask for regular life outside of home or to use at your events in the future.
If you have any questions, please drop us a line with your question.
Face masks should be used by people who show symptoms of COVID-19 to help prevent the spread of the disease to others. The use of face masks is also crucial for health workers and people who are taking care of someone in closed settings (at home or in a health care facility). The CDC keeps updating their opinion on the benefits of using a face mask, so please check their site. Some stay home orders require the use of face masks for everyone who leaves the home as areas start to open up.
Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Always wash hands with soap and water if hands are visibly dirty.
So, lets translate that to what can be done while you are face painting:
Have a sign that clearly indicates that as precaution your policy is to ALWAYS paint only those who do not show any kind of symptoms for any disease. Personally I would not mention the COVID-19 virus specifically, as this should always be your policy anyhow, and this way you reduce the spread of panic or the association of COVID-19 with face painting.
Keep your hands off your own face! This is a hard one, but it is very important. Wearing a plastic face shield and mask can help you keep your hands away from your face. Now, since your brushes and sponges will be touching the kids face, we highly suggest that you use one brush and one sponge per load per child. Meaning, once that sponge or brush has been loaded and has touched the kid's face, it does not go back to your paint. The sponge should get tossed in a separate, far away bag that you can take home and disinfect later, and the brushes should be sanitized before they get used again. If you feel it makes you feel safer and look more sanitary you can also use gloves. Regardless, you should clean your gloves/hands with hand sanitizer in between every client.
If you are sick and have any of the symptoms of a disease that can be transmitted, it is always best to stay home. Your customers will understand. They don't need to know exactly what bug you caught, again, no need to spread fear. All they need to know is that you are sick and you will send a replacement.
If you have to cough, do it on your sleeve or a tissue and throw it away, then, sanitize your hands with hand sanitizer, thoroughly.
Keep some sanitizing cleaning wipes or sprays with you at all times to clean the chair and table in between clients. EBA Hand Sanitizing Spray can be used on surfaces too. That way they know you are taking every precaution possible. Do it fast and don't make a big deal of it, otherwise it would induce more panic. Just make it look as part of your regular routine.
Try using a number's system and call the kids by number rather than having them all do a line. This way they are not all together coughing on each other and they stay further away from your face painting kit.
Keep your kit at a safe distance from others and make sure you let your paint completely dry out before you put it away for the day.
As an extra precaution you might want to avoid painting near the eyes, nose and mouth, and ask the kids to clean their faces before getting painted.
Sanitize you face paints with a something like Graftobian Makeup and Surface Sanitizing Spray after each event. Don't use something that might change the chemistry of your face paints. The 100% alcohol solution will kill germs but not alter water based, powder or cream face paints.
Here is quote from the president of Graftobian, Eric Coffman about Graftobian Makeup and Surface Sanitizing Spray. "We have been using the SDA 40B Alcohol, a crisp, clean smelling medium quick drying alcohol, to sanitize makeup of all kinds for quite some time. It needs to be able to work on all kinds of makeup, including pressed powders without changing the surface consistency of the makeup, hence no water. A few sprays from the misting cap and you can see the moisture on the surface of your makeup. It will dry completely in less than a minute, but not so fast that it can’t do it’s job. It is true that it can break down oils on surfaces, one of its strengths actually. If you spray water on pressed powders, you can reduce the payoff the next time you go to use the pressed powder. As a sanitizing spray, you want to primarily kill germs, as quickly and effectively as possible without harming the surface of the makeup. You don’t want to leave behind any residue or modify the overall chemistry of the makeup."

Should I Cancel an Event out of Fear for the Coronavirus / COVID-19?
That decision is up to you. If your local authorities have forced event venues to close down then you will have to follow their directions, but if there are no directions from the authorities or event planner then that is up to you. Make an informed decision, you can ask yourself the following questions:
- Am I part of the higher risk group that could get really sick if I caught the virus?
- Is the virus prominent in my town? See this map for more information on that.
- Have I recently traveled to one of the areas where the virus is more prominent and 14 days have not passed since yet? In this case you might want to stay home until 14 days have passed to make sure you are not sick.
Keep in mind that a cancellation will affect future bookings and can affect the overall feel for our industry during this health crisis, and it might be unnecessary if you take the precautions recommended by the health authorities in your area.
What to Do If Someone Wants to Cancel an Event Due to Coronavirus / COVID-19 Concerns?
How each person decides to react to this situation is their personal decision and we highly suggest that in case a host wants to cancel an event due to this specific situation you first let them know what measures you have in place to help prevent the spread so that the host knows that you know what you are doing. If they insist, then you can look at your contract and act accordingly. Keep in mind though that many companies are becoming more flexible on cancellation fees and deposits because of this particular situation so you might want to temporarily change your non refundable booking fee to at least be transferable to a future event, so long as you have an open date when that future event comes up.
You can also offer a service that has less contact with the face like a special balloon delivery, painting face shields, henna art, animal balloons, glitter tattoos and airbrush tattoos, or avoid all contact by providing a magic show or video chat or sing along with a special character.
Also, we highly recommend calling your deposit a BOOKING FEE so that it is clear that the amount paid in advance is actually to cover the expenses related to booking the party, which you have already done. This way it doesn't sound like you are being unreasonable holding on to a fee for an event you haven't done. Take care with cancellations so that when things pick up your customers will be happy to invite you to their next event.
What Else Should I keep in Mind in Relationship to Face Painting and the Coronavirus / COVID-19?
The most important thing beyond prevention, is not to spread panic or fear within your customers. Taking preventive measures is a great thing, spreading fear is not since it won't make anything better and can make people act irrationally. Once fear spreads it is hard to control. You have a business to run, a family to feed, and most businesses have continued to operate even under these circumstances during yearly flu seasons of the past. However, this is a new strain of flu that has created a worldwide pandemic, so you have to stay calm and think logically and in the interest of those you come in contact with.
A Few Tips and Ideas to Make your Kit as Sanitary as Possible
1 - Keep your face paints, face painting brushes and face painting sponges protected. You can do that by keeping a thin sheet of clear plastic over your paints and keeping your unused brushes in a sealed container as well as your unused sponges.
2 - When you get to the event use hand sanitizer or ask the host where you can wash your hands. Make sure not to touch any door knobs or other people once you have washed.
3 - Keep a hand sanitizer and sanitizing wipes at hand to clean your hands in between customers.
4 - Never double dip your sponges or brushes. Only dip them once in the water and once in the paint. If you need more, reach for a new sponge and a new brush. This way nothing goes from the face you are painting to the paint or your water. Sponges can be washed off at home, brushes can be soaked in 70% alcohol and be left to try before re-use. You might want to adapt your designs so that you know they can be painted with just one load of each cake.
5 - Use something like the rinse well for your water, since that way only clean water touches your brushes.
6 - According to the CDC a sanitizer without at least 60% alcohol like Brush Bath or Lush Brush won't be effective to kill he COVID-19 virus, so don't rely just on those as your primary sanitation method for this situation.
7 - You can ask your host if they would like you to use gloves while painting. It might make some feel safer, while it might make others feel uncomfortable. This won't really make a change but it can give the impression of a cleaner practice. Just make sure to avoid latex gloves or powdered gloves since many can be allergic to them.
8 - After each party clean your kit thoroughly with sanitizing wipes approved by the CDC to fight the COVID-19 virus. Let your paints dry out in a safe environment where they can't come in contact with the virus. Use a makeup sanitizer spray to sanitize your paints. As far as the CDC knows the virus won't survive for too long on the surface. Some suggest using UV lights, or a food dehydrator since there is a chance that heat or the UV light might be able to kill the virus, but there is no confirmation from the CDC on that.
9 - Avoid painting around the eyes, mouth and nose. If you paint the lips use disposable q-tips and throw them away, far from your kit. If you use glitter either apply it loose with a poofer, or if you will spread it, make sure not to double dip and try using the silicone wands to apply since those can be sanitized easily between customers.
10 - Have a small section on your website dedicated to sanitation so potential customers can see what steps do you take, and see that you care. You don't have to make it all about the COVID-19 as that can actually scare customers away, but rather about how face painting can be done in a sanitary way. You can include images, a video, or simply a list of common practices you take.
11 - When possible, try arriving to your gig on your own car rather than through public transportation to reduce the chances of getting in contact with the virus.
12 - Instead of giving away business cards you can have a large version of it printed and on display on your table and asks guests to take a picture of it. That way you reduce chances of spread through contact as well.
13 - Before a kid sits in your chair, you can squirt some hand sanitizer on their hands, and ask them to rub it well between their fingers, back and front of the hand and nails. Then when they sit and grab the sides of your chair their hands will be clean. You can still do a quick wiping of the chair in between customers.
14 - Use a numbers system to prevent people from standing in line. Give away stickers or write down their names on a list, this way you don't have a bunch of kids standing in a line very close to each-other.
15 - When the weather and location allows, ask to paint in a well ventilated area, preferably outside. The CDC says that well ventilated environments are safer.
16 - Although it can be hard, try and make it all look natural, don't make a big deal of it. Do it with a smile to create a sensation of safety and not panic... just like they do at a doctor's office or at a tattoo shop.
17 - You can offer to paint arms instead, away from typical coughing area (elbow corner) or paint around collar area, or even face paint their face shields (after sanitizing the outside of them with a sanitizing wipe).
18 - Offer to paint Face Shields at a party, or deliver them to a party. This might appeal to someone who isn't ready for you to paint faces yet, and it is something cool that the kids can keep and use later!
What are these face painting mask shields made of?
These durable face shields are made of 100% PET plastic which is also Anti-Fog. PET plastic is food grade and PBA free. Make sure to remove the protective film on the outside of the shield before painting on it. The masks are held on with an elastic band that can be adjusted for smaller heads if needed. The shields have a 3 cm thick foam band that goes between the mask and your forehead for extra comfort and to keep a space for your nose and/or eye glasses. They have to be shipped in a box.
What are the dimensions of the face shield?
The face shields are 33cm (13") wide and 22cm (8.6") long. With the the elastic un-stretched the mask has a 53.3 cm (21") circumference. The elastic band can be shortened and made for smaller head sizes by cutting little notches in the elastic band and sliding it over the peg, but they fit well on most children and adults with out making any adjustments.
How do I wash my face shield?
You can safely wash your mask with 1-100% ethanol alcohol or with a cleaning detergent and water.
What else should I know about these face shields?
These plastic face shields have a lot of possibilities. It is up to each person how they want to use them. They are easy to paint on with water based face paints, so you could decorate your own shield to wear while face painting if it is allowed in your area, or wear it decorated to get attention for your face painting business while you are out shopping or going for a walk. You could also custom paint these for others. Make sure to remove the protective film on the outside of the shield before painting on it. If you are allowed to paint at parties you can offer the service of painting masks if the client is hesitating about having the kids' faces painted. For kids with sensory issues, a painted mask might be a better choice for them as well. If you are not allowed to paint at events you could see if you can pre-paint the masks and deliver them to a party, even if it is a small one. You can practice designs on the face shield while you or someone else wears it, or just by having it flat on the table. I like to paint them over a practice board when designing them for others and for regular practice, so that I can see where the eye spacing should be. It takes some practice to paint them on a person, so make sure to try it out before doing it at an event. Make sure to keep a large opening for the eye area. Paint over the written text to make the masks look even better or add our I LOVE FACE PAINTING stickers. If you are looking for some tips on sanitary practices and how to deal with Covid-19 as a face painter, check out our blog Face Painting and the Coronavirus Covid-19 .
We do not make any medical claims in regards to the use or effectiveness of these face shields. Keep in mind that as of the moment this description was written, in the USA, the CDC recommends the use of fabric masks to regular citizens and asked regular citizens to leave medical grade masks to those working in the medical field.
Q: On the face shields as pictured, it looks like an adult would not be able to look down without the bottom hitting the chest area. Can these be cut shorter once they arrive? Or is the image just a little odd because the wearer is a little kiddo? Thank you!
A:Hi, adults can look down without an issue, and kids too.. because of perspective is hard to see, but the shield is fairly far out form the face, and the further down you go the further away from the person it goes, so you can look down without an issue.
I would not suggest cutting...view more them down unless you use a very sharp razor blade, before removing the protecting film. Then you might need to file it down to avoid having any sharp edges. But really, they fit great.view less
This clear divider can be used in between 2 inserts inside your wooden case to prevent the paint on one insert from touching the paint on the other insert.
What is this Rinse Well Fresh Water System Designed For?
This product will change the way you face paint forever! No more dirty cups of water on your table!! The Fresh Water Rinse Well is a great tool for face painters! This brush cleaning system allows for fresh rinse water at the touch of a button. The Rinse Well consists of a plastic bottle, a plastic base with a ridged well to help cleanse your brushes and a reservoir to collect the used, dirty water. When you are ready for a fresh start, simply push the button and the dirty water will drain and automatically fresh water will fill the base so you are ready to paint again! Your face painting kit will look so professional and your clients will love to see that everyone gets fresh water every time.
You can use the Rinsewell to improve your sanitation efforts due to the Covid-19 coronavirus. Rinse your brushes in water and then sanitize your brushes with at least 60% alcohol. Let them air dry completely before using them again. Drain the water and alcohol down into the base after each rinse-out of your brushes.
How Much Water Does the Rinse Well Bottle Hold?
This bottle holds 28 oz. Since you will only use a small amount of water between each client it lasts a long time.
If you have log gigs, it is a great idea to have one or two extra refill bottles on hand so that you have enough water to get through your event without having to do more than unscrew the empty bottle and pop on a new one. If your bottle breaks for whatever reason you can also buy a new one, without having to buy a whole new system. Click here if you would like to see the spare Rinse Well Bottles. You can also just bring a 2L bottle of water to refill your main bottle.

What materials are Sparkling Faces practice board made from?
The Sparkling Faces Practice Boards are made from washable plastic that has a slight texture to reduce your brush for slipping. The designs are carefully screen printed on the back of the transparent plastic and then sealed with a thick durable layer of paint. Only paint on the plastic side of the board.
What are the dimensions of this face paint practice board?
The Sparkling Faces boards are printed on A4 plastic sheets which is close to about 8.3 × 11.7 inches or almost a standard piece of printing paper. The dimensions of the face will give you a realistic face painting experience.
How do I use Sparkling Faces Practice Boards?
Wash your board with soap and water before your first use. Get your brush wet, tap off any excess moisture, and then swipe the brush back and forth on your face paint cake to load the bristles with face paint. Apply to the board in smooth strokes and re-load brush as needed. You can also sponge on colors or add liquid bling to your finished designs. To avoid dripping or beading, and to promote faster drying of the paint, make sure that your paint is thick and creamy, not wet and inky.
What is this Full Face Practice Board best for?
Don't forget, practice makes progress! Angelina is a cute little brown haired girl. This board shows her full face, which is perfect for cheek art, eye designs or full face designs. Sparkling Faces Practice Boards are perfect for face painters who need an easy to wash surface to try new designs, but don't want to paint themselves, can't find a model, or who want an simple way to create bright colorful design boards. To create your own design boards simply take photos of your boards under bright natural light and scan or upload to your computer to collage together and print, or to print individually and then store in an album or a hanging card holder.
How do I clean my practice board after use?
You can easily clean your face paint practice boards with dish soap, water and a soft sponge. Make sure to wash off your face painting practice boards before you store them to prevent staining. You can remove stubborn stains with cooking oil. To be on the safe side, test super pigmented paint color on the corner of your board to see if they are easy to wash off.

I have a question about a comment in the “Face Painting and Corona Virus” blog. About half way down is a section “A Few Tips and Ideas to Make your Kit as Sanitary as Possible”
This is #4 – Never double dip your sponges or brushes. Only dip them once in the water and once in the paint. If you need more, reach for a new sponge and a new brush. This way nothing goes from the face you are painting to the paint or your water. Sponges can be washed off at home, brushes can be soaked in 70% alcohol and be left to try before re-use.
My question is about letting the brushes dry. If you’re doing a small gathering maybe 1 brush per person works. But do we really need “lots” of brushes if we’re doing a large gathering? I can’t imagine 100 brushes because they should dry before reuse. What are you doing about this?
