[@beatrizdavis1998]

Penelope is a cute name for your painting kit 😊

[@BekeDownes]

Great setup. I'm new as a facepainter (less than 3 months, and i amalwayss inspired by people who have easysetupss like yours

[@penelopefp]

There are a LOT of great tips in this video!! THANK YOU!!! I just did a session at school and the chain would have been GREAT for organizing the people! 😂 And your daughter did a GREAT job on the video!! 😊

[@artbylily]

@@penelopefp so happy this video helps! 💜

[@Notinmylifetime]

Just starting out myself, and I must say you are a inspiration! I know a craft and go case would make my life of face painting so much easier but I cannot afford one. Sooo I use a camp kitchen. It’s not going to last but it works for now. I’m going to save for a case soon. Love that you called yours Penelope! Everything you have done I’m definitely going to incorporate into my kit now. The clips are a awesome idea!! Thankyou for taking the time to show us your set up. It’s awesome! 💖👏👏

[@artbylily]

Thanks so much for the kind words. Happy to help! 😊

[@wali11855]

Do u know if Amazon sells these craft and go cases , I can’t seem to find them?

[@RebekaFlor]

Look up hairdressing towels and you will find packs of the towels you are looking for! :) they are slightly bigger than hand towels, soft enough but not super fluffy, it's what we use for hair! Hope that helps!

[@artbylily]

@@RebekaFlor thanks so much!

[@Scandybarr1]

Love your plastic chain! So smart. I need one of those.

[@shannongoodhead1442]

Thank you for sharing. I've been facepainting for about a year now and am constantly trying to figure out how to set up and look professional. This was really helpful and now I've subscribed to your channel!

[@artbylily]

Thank you so much for the vote of confidence! It took me forever to decide how I needed it. Happy painting!

Great info. I use baby bath too. Wash my brushes and sponges with it. No worries about soap residue causing tears.

[@artbylily]

Hi Sara! Thanks for the interest, they contacted me actually. But I do have a video on my channel called business tips that explains how to get into a park. 🥳

[@SaraChaussee]

Love your setup where did you get your trunk “Penelope” from? I’m new this the face painting world and I’m doing a bday party for the first time this Saturday. Thanks for video it help. Much love

[@artbylily]

I ordered her from the craft-n-go website. Thank you.

[@wikkevanhessen]

Love it!!

[@artbylily]

Thank you 🙏

[@acelynngrayce776]

I love your set up! I can’t wait to get started. Do you have a video about how you get contracts to paint in parks?

[@artbylily]

I don’t have a video, but I can definitely make one! ☺️

[@acelynngrayce776]

Please do! & one about your sign please & thank you 🤗💕

[@gublerssy]

Can you make a video showing us the best brushes to start with ? I dont know which ones to get 😅

[@artbylily]

Apologies on the late response, and yes I will definitely make a video on brushes. Thanks for the input!

[@zeroo4378]

Where did you find Penelope?

[@artbylily]

Hi, I ordered it on the craft-n-go website.

[@MJ-fe7io]

Thanks for sharing! What's your favorite line white and black in humidity? I'm looking at the Mehron Edge white right now...

[@artbylily]

Thanks for the comment, yes absolutely Mehron edge for linework in humidity is the way to go! It doesn’t get goopy.

[@surferzita]

thanks for the video! btw, really tidy =) can I ask how many sponges would you recommend to take for a 2 days festival? thanks

[@artbylily]

Hi 👋 thanks for your question. That depends on how big or small your sponges are and your speed. I normally take sponges enough for 150 faces.

[@duranduranification]

Where can we get the boards?

[@artbylily]

Sorry do you mean the menu boards? Those are yard sign corrugated boards, they’re plastic and mine are around 16x20.

[@nellyt8947]

GLORY TO GOD for showing you how to do this! This is a nice set up! Keep up the great work! JESUS bless you and your business! 🙏🏾🙌🏾✝️‼️ Thank you for sharing!

[@lisakmak6019]

What are you using to hang up your banner?

[@artbylily]

Hi Lisa, they are the bungee cords listed in the description. They can also be found in a clear plastic jar at Walmart. ☺️

[@lisakmak6019]

@@artbylily thank you so much. Are they the 12 “?

[@artbylily]

@@lisakmak6019 the banner with face painting on it, I used hyper tough 10 pack canopy tie bungee from Walmart. The menus I used 12 inch silicone cable tie from Walmart.

[@feliciagurau7228]

Wow! In all countries we have same problems with parents? :( Good job! I love your work! :)

[@tiffanycajigas8415]

Thank you for this video! I have been playing around with face paint for almost three years now, and I think I am ready to take it to the next level. I have a question. I know some artists have done water proof paint. You mentioned that it rained. What do you do to prevent your work from wiping away with sweat/water/moisture? I really appreciate you! Liked and subscribed!!

[@artbylily]

Thank you Tiffany, I apologize on the late response. Typically ppl still want the face painting even though it rains or it’s hot out. I do have pro air brand water resistant makeup on hand if the client requests it.

[@kairitjoepera4482]

I'm new in this but recomend to put some handpainting options on your board. I had a event last weekend and it was soo hot. At the event there was another facepainter who did only facepaintings and do be truthful. I had 30-40 kids in line and she had only few (those who wouldn't wait in my line bc it was long). I tell the parents and kids to prefer handpainting or something little to the face, because they run/sweat and big picture just melts away. Handpaintings are also good option for those who don't want something on their face but still wanna do something.

[@tiffanycajigas8415]

@kairitjoepera4482 thank you so much! I never even thought about suggesting hand or maybe even arm designs, since you won't sweat there as much lol I really appreciate your advise! 🫶🏼

[@tiffanycajigas8415]

@@artbylily that's OK! Thank you for your reply, I appreciate you!
