This. This is EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR! Ingenious idea to number the kids' hands! I've tried giving coins that were numberedBut then the kids would lose them or they wouldn't give them back to me. I also have trouble when it's at the end of the line and I tell them I only have such and such time. I tried to avoid the whining but it always seems like a parent will come up and beg me to do more on their child even though I have said no I have to go and actually I always paint over my time. I am definitely going to do this for my next face painting gig and hope it works out. Thanks for this great idea.

[@Arielpaints]

I'm so glad! It's the video I always looked for when I was starting out...so glad it helped.

[@craftingismytherapylayciel2474]

I thank you so much Ariel for always sharing your beautiful work with us I can honestly say from the bottom of my heart your the only artist I know I myself and everyone can always get the greatest and most honest advice from. 💕💖

[@Arielpaints]

Thank you, that is very sweet of you to say. I appreciate it very much.

[@ms.teatree]

This was incredibly helpful. Thank you.

[@Arielpaints]

I'm so glad!

[@Morbid_Musey]

I get cupcake requests alllll the time, another thing you could add is a candle or a cherry on top. The glitter was an AMAZING idea 🥰💖

[@mariahrojas7381]

I love this video! Just started doing face painting as a side form of income. The little girl with the butterfly shirt reminded me of a girl at the first party I serviced that didn't know what she wanted done. I saw her outfit had a strawberry print and offered to paint a strawberry for her, and her face lit up (: That's the best feeling.

[@jarobi7160]

I really enjoyed this video. Thank you for explaining how you're able to work without a picture portfolio. Very informative and clever thinking. I'm looking forward to getting into face painting!

[@Arielpaints]

Thanks for watching! 💕

[@herastudio543]

Thank you for sharing these experiences, I’m still practicing and nervous thinking about getting better to do my first gig

[@ericadgueho_mama_art954]

This is a great video! Thank you for sharing your talent & time with us!!! I learn & love your work so much! 😍❤️ thank you, thank you to the parents who allowed you to film!! This truly is priceless!!!

[@Arielpaints]

Thanks for watching! 💕

[@juliethorn5277]

I bought a cushion on clearance to put in my chair after watching one of your other on the job videos. It has been an absolute game changer. Thank you so much!

[@Arielpaints]

I'm so glad to hear that! It helps so much, right?

[@juliethorn5277]

It helps so much, especially for the itty bitty kiddos. My back doesn't hurt anything like it used to. I survive all day/weekend events. 😊

[@lindatruccabimbi2383]

Thank you Ariel!!!! I love love love watching you on the job!!!!!

[@Arielpaints]

Thanks! Glad you like it.

[@abigailk827]

These on-the-job videos are so helpful. I’m so glad I found you! Thank you for sharing with us.

[@Arielpaints]

Thanks so much for watching! So glad you like them.

[@RobertYoungCharlestonWV]

I agree on the job was great learning.

[@eileengrant5366]

Thank you for another great tutorial Ariel. It's so nice to see you in action & talking us thru it 👍

[@Arielpaints]

Thank you SO much for watching! Appreciate your comment. 💕

[@maryrosegonzales4704]

I had fun watching this and your voice over and notes were very helpful. I am so amazed how you just spontaneously paint anything to those kids just by talking to them. Here in the Philippines, face painter shows most of the time a catalogue of sample paints so the kids can choose. Wow! thanks for the great vids, i will stick around for sure. I am always fascinated to face painting during bday parties and decided will give a try. Wish me luck!! :)

[@Arielpaints]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@jeffyoung8963]

Love, love, love you! I let the birthday boy/girl pick their design, go all out on it, and then no other child may be that design or character so it is truly their special day. I also use Mama Clown glitters in the poofer bottle from Silly Farm. They glitter lips strategically. Thank you for your videos!!!! - Tera

[@Arielpaints]

Thanks for watching! 💕

[@TammyJewelry]

Thanks for sharing your on the job vid... I luv your videos and your voice is so calming..

[@Arielpaints]

You're welcome! Thank you for watching and I've very glad my voice is calming 😊

[@donnar278]

I'm not even into face painting but for some reason I stayed and watched this entire video! The kids are so cute and your narration was great. Nice work!

[@Arielpaints]

Bahahaha. That’s so funny. Glad you enjoyed it. I think it’s relaxing to watch someone paint.

[@miniperezsoto1526]

You are awesome and such as tremendous artist, I learn every single second with you! Thanks

[@Arielpaints]

Thank you for commenting. So glad my videos have helped. 💕

[@bluescrew729]

Wow you are awesome! Thank you for sharing such great tips. I am attempting to face paint at church this weekend! Pray for me.

[@Arielpaints]

I hope it went well! It's not easy to do especially those first times but I'm sure the kids loved it.

[@Paulotr52]

The artist and the paintings are beautiful !!!!

[@edensplayhouse1906]

You did an amazing job!!! My son loves face paint!!

[@SolSkinn]

I just love your style and your organizational skills. I'm not even going to watch any other face painters anymore lol!

[@Arielpaints]

hahaha! Well that is a very nice compliment. Thank you VERY much.

[@Facepaintventura]

Aww they all look so pretty!

[@Fulani_Gal78]

WOW amazing video! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@craftingismytherapylayciel2474]

I love your designs, hands down your my most favorite face painter ever !!!!! You full my heart looking at you because I just been so sad I miss my craftngo so much with my supplies it is really hard to deal with the lost because it was also my way of making money and making all the kiddos faces so excited when they were done 😢

[@Arielpaints]

I'm sorry, that is very sad.

[@craftingismytherapylayciel2474]

Oh yes in deed heart breaking I have left a ton of events go these past weeks, I'm a very faithful woman I believe the same way god helped me to put together all my beautiful stuff even things I just purchased a few days before which I didn't even get to use I will gather together it all up again and keep on moving forward with my wonderful face painting life because it just brings so much life and joy to my heart when I'm at the job knowing I am making so many little ones day along with their parents 😊 with positivity everything works out. Thank you Ariel for being so understanding💞 #myfavoriteartistofall

[@feliciabrenya5907]

Wonderful video Ariel. Super helpful as always!!!

[@Arielpaints]

Thank you for commenting. So glad my videos have helped. 💕

[@marjoriepreston8546]

Wonderful idea to number their hands. I'm going to do that.

[@heydreakins]

This video was so helpful! Yesterday was my first time face painting for kids at a friend's party. I am very into makeup and got roped into the gig, which I turned out loving. I now know what I need to work on- speed and one stroke techniques- and I hope to make it a business soon. You gave some great tips, including products, organization, and technique, and I am so thankful. I was also thinking about regular makeup parties for teens, since that is what I'm best at, generally. Is that a thing? If not, it will be! Totally subscribed!

[@Arielpaints]

Yay! 🎉 Thanks for subscribing. Let me know what questions you have and what videos you want to see next. Welcome to my channel. 💕 So glad this video helped and congrats on your first gig. I think if you did like a Bling/festival glitter offering with makeup for parties it would totally be a thing.

[@onyxophelia4690]

i got asked to do the face paint for a halloween party, and this video is super helpful for inspiration/tips and tricks! thank you sm!!💗

[@once4lyfe492]

I love this! I really want to get into face painting and I’ve been watching a lot of videos and it seems like so much fun

[@kikoman9724]

Hi. I am about to go out now and find face paint supplies. Last night My friend was planning her child’s Birthday Party and the organiser included face painting which costs a good sum of money. When I checked KZbin tutorials for face painting and came across your channel, an idea sparked in me. I do love drawing, So when I saw how simple and beautiful the designs can be,I am enchanted and I plan to start Face painting. Thank you for these vids. God bless you.

[@Arielpaints]

I'm so glad I can help. Hope you fall in love with it and enjoy painting. It's so much fun.

[@TheMcginty222]

this little birthdate girl has soo many friends!!

[@Arielpaints]

She does! It's one of the larger parties I do.

[@paulaullua2104]

Thanks for sharing 🤗

[@wickedxchick]

I’ve been watching a lot of your videos and I’ve learned so much !!! I loved one your videos that said : most importantly about face painting is having fun !!! It was awesome . I saw how much you cared for the children as well .💞💞💞 I was moved ! Thanks for your videos

[@Arielpaints]

Ah, thank you. That is so sweet of you to say. Really appreciate your comment 💕

[@RobertYoungCharlestonWV]

I agree

[@jennasosa7740]

Ariel, how do you charge clients for birthday parties? Is it the same (per design)? Would love to see a video on how you have chosen to send invoices, organize your events (digital or pen & paper), your contract with some info you have chosen to include, other business management info.... A HUGE THANK YOU for sharing on KZbin! Sooooooooo helpful & encouraging as I am at the very very beginning on my face painting journey. ❤

[@Arielpaints]

Hi, I'm going to cover as much of this as I can in my next Q and A video. Until then...thanks for watching!

[@shalisealphonse3362]

this is fun..love it

[@Arielpaints]

Thank you SO much for watching! Appreciate your comment. 💕

[@melissawright6211]

Thank you SO much for watching! Appreciate your comment. 💕

[@letspaintfacepainting]

Love this Ariel 💖💖

[@festivalfaerie9772]

I Absolutely love this video!! but I was just wondering what One stroke you used for all the pink butterflies!!✨✨💖💖🦋🦋🦋💜💖💖💖✨

[@karlat7880]

I’ve been face painting for about 4 years but I have my first party coming up. I’m a little nervous because it’s a different dynamic. This helped a lot! The numbering hands idea is genius! 😁 I also love painting unicorns. 💜

[@erika26011978]

fantástico, sou do brasil, não temos matérias tao bons para trabalhar, fico encantada na sua habilidade, parabéns. coloque mais vídeos

[@mariafreddy6391]

So good , thank you xx

[@Arielpaints]

Thanks for watching! 💕

[@roulata6266]

Hello Ariel, how do you ask for filming? People accepte usually ? How does that work? Thank you so much 😊 ❤

[@Arielpaints]

Hello, this family was a friend so that's why I asked. I wouldn't ever setup a camera at a regular birthday party. If I do it at a public event I ask every single kid and parent which can be time confusing so I don't do it very often.

[@michibuckley2046]

I'm so thankful for this video Ariel. Doing my first birthday party next weekend.....and it's unicorns! So double nervous 😩 being a body painter is so different from being a fave painter. Just purchased the mehron practice head and surgery this week. So not much time to master anything before then. Have viewed all your videos and still trying to get better. Any other birthday, unicorn tips would be great! Thanks for sharing all you do...Michi @Morticia B Artistry

[@Arielpaints]

Thank you SO much for watching! Appreciate your comment and good luck! 💕

[@Villagenanny]

Thanks Ariel! Awesome video! Where do you shop for gems & chunky glitters or do you just pick them up randomly? Also what size & brand is your one stroke & floral brushes? Thanks so much!

[@Arielpaints]

I pick them up all over the place but love Glitter Balls pre-made gems and The Gypsy Shrine's glitter. My fav one stroke is the 3/4" from The Face Painting shop. Check out my flora brush video for more info on those :) let me know if you can't find it.

[@leanneirmisch5850]

Have you videoed your lion design would love to see your spin on that? Thanks for all the great tutorials and real time painting videos.

[@Arielpaints]

No, I haven't but will put it on my list. I actually get the request just as much as Tiger.

[@lseh]

Do you have a starters brush set you recommend that’s not too expensive but have the must have brushes to get started? Pedal brush, liner, etc. Package with sponges a bonus lol. I tried using my craft brushes it nothing worked well.

[@Arielpaints]

Well, I wish I did. Maybe I should make one! Honestly you'll have to piece one together. The closest to a kit I'd suggest is going to Silly Farm and looking at those sets.

[@craftingismytherapylayciel2474]

Yes your totally right Ariel, the silly farm ones are pretty good I would recommend them myself as well.

[@jenniferaponte-acosta5867]

Thank you so much for sharing. How do you make a birthday boys design stand out from the other boys? I know you used a bling jewel on the birthday girl here besides adding other details.

[@Arielpaints]

Hi! That's such a good question. You can do super here cuffs or sleeves or animal paws on their hands...for spiderman you can do the webs coming out of their fingers. I've also put animal stencils on the neck too. Hope that helps.

[@lidiuribe6912]

Hola. Donde puedo comprar una maleta como esa. Esta genial!!! Gracias

[@Arielpaints]

You can get it from Craft-n-go website.

[@claudeyaz]

With the way you sit for long periods, it may be good to see a physical therapist. Yes you like the way this chair set up makes you feel. But the physical therapist can give you exercises to use to increase core strength. So you wont have issues in the future. They can help a lot if you discus with them your concerns and give them a photo of how you sit. With the rise of computer jobs, many of the PTs are doing studies and focusing on heights of chairs and proper postures and set ups. Face painting is your job, so it is good to take care of yourself for the long term. Wonderful video!

[@sheilapierson6885]

Pretty sure she's not sitting...

[@RobertYoungCharlestonWV]

I wondered about that, my back hurts while just leaning to do dishes.

[@meryrodriguez8808]

Hi Ariel I love the video,I got my first book in November I started to paint in August so I'm nervous lol.Glad you post this video

[@Arielpaints]

It's scary at first but you'll do great...just go easy on yourself.

[@araluna99]

Hi Ariel, I always watch your on the job videos and all of your videos, I find them very helpful and inspiring, thanks for the time you take to do them. I have a question, what size and brand of brush do you use for the one stroke butterflies? looking at you doing them seems too easy I would give it a try. Thanks again!

[@Arielpaints]

Thank you! I use the 3/4" angled brush from the face painting shop. It's my favorite.

[@mariajaramillo2317]

i love this!!! I want to know what is the glitter that you put on whole face?

[@Arielpaints]

It's Mamma Clowns white glitter from silly farm.

[@YR20909]

Hi , i m new to this field and have learned that i shouldn’t double dip after applying the paint in the face , it’s not easy if i run out of paint to quickly rinse, clean , sanitize and the. Reload. What would everyone do?

[@Arielpaints]

My opinion: That is not sustainable in this industry. The paints are hyper allergenic and it’s perfectly fine to double dip a brush into paint. We are not surgeons. We are painting faces. I do use a new sponge when sponging over the eyes and mouth, but I do not sanitize brushes on the job. The risk of getting alcohol left on a sponge and getting it into someone’s eye is far greater of a risk than double dipping. 99% of professional face, painters, reload brushes, and do not sanitize on the job.

[@addisoncorey5636]

What is the one stroke you are using on most of the girls’ butterflies? It’s lovely 💕

[@Arielpaints]

It's called Naples by Global. I love it!

[@donnaspencer5413]

Hi Ariel. What brand of face paint are you using in this video please? Thank you love your videos.

[@Arielpaints]

I use all sorts of different brands as long as they are professional face paints.

[@DorianeZorioRicardo]

Love this video!! It is so helpful. :)

[@Arielpaints]

glad you like it, dear 😉

[@נעהפורת-ט8ק]

do you use on every kid with a diffrent sponge? for example if you have 15 kids you use 15 sponges?

[@Arielpaints]

Yep, each kid gets a new sponge.

[@נעהפורת-ט8ק]

@@Arielpaints thank you so much!!

[@anugoc6939]

Hi! I enjoyed your video! Can you share how much you'd charge for a birthday party like this? And what that cost covers? I think sometimes facepainters undersell themselves and once we know exactly why we are charging what we charge, we won't undersell ourselves

[@kellyfitzgerald9638]

Having been raised in Iowa, my eye goes directly to the Iowa on the wall behind you, and the Iowa State t-shirt! You're in Michigan, though, right? (I'm currently in Florida. The Iowa never leaves us, though) This has been a very useful video. I do birthday parties all the time and your time management is excellent. Thank you for posting it.

[@kellyfitzgerald9638]

By the way, this isn't to say I think you're from Iowa, but it's clear your client is.

[@Arielpaints]

I am actually in Iowa 😊

[@Arielpaints]

Thanks for watching and glad you liked it! 💕

Homegirl! I'm from Cedar Rapids, and before that, Waterloo.

[@elizabethuebler3721]

When you do lipstick do you use actual lipstick or face paint? Also what are you using to spray the glitter? I have used a lot of dry glitter and just try and get it to stick from the paint - thanks for an awesome video! I’m just starting to brave a few gigs!

[@Arielpaints]

I used actual lipstick but many face painters use face paint.

[@strataverse]

Im curious about the glitter spray, what is in that? New to face painting!

[@Arielpaints]

search for my glitter video and you can learn all about it.

[@RobertYoungCharlestonWV]

Thank you so much for sharing. I learned several things. Some of my questions while watching, you answered. I wish I could learn the one stroke better I try but just don't get it right.I have been using the sponge for butterflies. Do you really like your craft and go? I wondered about standing with a chair and you helped with advice on the cushion. I may get it. Do you know where to get the best deal on the chair and kit?

[@teedabug-sh]

What do you use for lipstick? (Both brand/color and what applicator)

[@Arielpaints]

On the job usually face paint but have started to add some two faced lipsticks to my kit. I use disposable applicators from Amazon. Usually whatever I can find a deal on.

[@amberhanel7966]

Do you add glitter with the brush?

[@izzyhartzell4501]

What paints and brushes do you use?

[@feeenchantee3249]

I was wondering if you have a list of what you can do at birthday parties (time wise!) or if they choose whatever they want? I always learn something with you... thanks for that!!

[@Arielpaints]

No list for birthday parties. I just talk to them and let them pick. It's my favorite way to parties, but some people bring a binder of pictures.

[@Mschenmeili]

Ariel..I love your Otj and Festival glitters are really awesome.I use them all d time now😍😍

[@Mschenmeili]

You are Amazing with your tips and sharing...you should be on Fabatv😍😍😘😘

[@Arielpaints]

well, thank you. I appreciate that.

[@MrRoberta0953]

Where did you get you craft and go? By the way you are really good. I love the way you explain everything. Your paint and supplies. If I am going to do this when I retire next year I would love for you to get the credit for the sales. Thank you so much. 💓

[@innerstarrcompasshealing8795]

How much water do you use on your brush to paint

[@Arielpaints]

If you look up my on stroke video I go over that. It's hard to explain in a message but that video should help.

[@Maria-fz1mu]

What you put on the kids face when you start the painting??

[@Arielpaints]

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Can you explain what you are asking?

[@arielnapenas8240]

I'm a beginner and just trying to understand the process a bit more. Between kids, I'm assuming u are not able to wash brushes correct? Do you just have some brushes devoted to certain colours and certain split cakes and u stick with those? Or are you indeed rinsing and changing water between every child? Thank you to anyone who can educate me. :)

[@Arielpaints]

Yes, usually just keep the same colors on brushes so you don't have to rinse them out.

[@rhalse]

I really hope someone can answer this question. But I am an amateur face painter but I am experiencing bleeding of the paints. When I layer paints on top they blend or bleed. Do you have any tips?

[@Arielpaints]

You want to think of face painting like paint by numbers. Paint in sections not layers. That doesn't mean you can't layer anything but you have to understand that when you go over face paint with move face paint you are activating what is underneath. This takes some time and practice to figure out. Hope that helps.

[@iam2bear]

Do you have a link for your craft & go case for paint storage?

[@ladyvincenza]

Thanks so much for your videos:) I have a question: do you wash and reuse sponges/brushes, or toss them after each day, or use a special cleanser, or what?

[@Arielpaints]

I wash everything with an organic soap and hot water. I don't even throw away the "disposable" smoothie blenders.

[@jdaimckinnon]

what do you use for "lipstick" do you have a go-to brand of facepaint/color??

[@Arielpaints]

Nothing special just whatever color paint I have in my kit.

[@feliciabrenya5907]

Tommorow is my first birthday party any tips on must have supplies or general tips.

[@Arielpaints]

I might be too late to help depending on when the party is. My video on starter supplies might help...don't forget wet wipes for your hands and a mirror. I've forgotten both before.

[@feliciabrenya5907]

Ariel Minervini thank you you were just on time❤

[@alohaadventures19]

What type of glitter spray do you use and what type of glue do you have for the gems? Thank you!!!

[@Arielpaints]

Hi! If you look for my glitter video I go into more detail about all the glitters I use. That should help. :)

[@anaisanais7336]

I can’t find your face painting case . I need it ! Thank you

[@whiteangel5121]

What do u use for your glitter spray

[@Arielpaints]

What glitter? I use the momma clown glitter.

[@elberethlunnchahalis6513]

Where’s the makeup stand holder from?

[@Arielpaints]

It's a craft n go case.

[@jenellalwardmusic9891]

Hi there! Love watching your videos, you give me lots of inspiration for my own face painting! Question, could you tell me where you got that awesome glitter proofer you use in your videos??

[@Arielpaints]

Thank you for your note. I appreciate it. I purchased it so long ago but I know it was from one of the online shops. Sillyfarm or The face painting shop. Some makeup supply sites have them too. Sorry, it's been 3-4 years now that I've had them and can't remember.

[@katnisseverdeen81]

The little boy ❤

[@רחלידהן-ה9ד]

Ariel thanks for shering with us!! you are an insporation for me! i am just a begginer and i would like to ask: 1. what is the method of charging cost? is it per hour? how much? 2. can you upload tutorial of a boys party? painting for boys that doesnt take much time? 3/ what is the avarage time for each child painting? my wish is to become a pro like you!! tanks again!! rachel Israel

[@Arielpaints]

Hi! Parties I charge per hour. I've seen rates anywhere from $60 -$150 and it really depends on where you are located and what kind of competition there is. If I'm able to do a boy party I will try and record it. Average about 5 min per face. Thanks for watching.

[@sandrataylor590]

I REALLY struggle with the bottom wing of my butterfly... HELP!!! Yours look amazing; mine so much!

[@Arielpaints]

try watching my slow walkthrough on one stroke butterflies. That should help.

[@voodooqueen7914]

Where did u get ur case for ur kit?

[@Arielpaints]

It's called a Craft n go...I have other videos on here all about it.

[@jessyelena193]

Thank you!❤

[@Arielpaints]

Thank you SO much for watching! Appreciate your comment. 💕

[@conniebuende9323]

Where can I learn this

[@DeeWorksSpencer]

Did you ask about setting up camera in advance? And was this recorded with your phone or a camera on a tripod? Let’s Go Ya’ll!!!!!™

[@Arielpaints]

Yes, I would not setup a camera without permission and clear understanding. This was a friends home. I would not request this from a regular booked gig. I used a video camera on a tripod.
