About Face Painting by illustriddler, LLC

HELLO! Licensed in business since 2005 IN-DEMAND ephemeral face painting art hired by the hour (typically a 2-hour minimum). Scroll further to see the MORE RECENT of the MANY photos (over 100!) to check out some of my work. *PLEASE NOTE IT MAY TAKE MORE THAN ONE TAP ON THE PHOTO THAT SAYS "SEE ALL 162 pictures. (There appears to be a glitch. Click on the number itself "162".) Unique, artistic designs, or those simple "Cookie-Cutter" designs - I can do either or both! Seeing the smiles and sparkle✨ in the eyes from FACE PAINTING is one of the most rewarding aspects of being a face painter and I adore the magic of creating art. Speaking of *SPARKLES*, ~ GLITTER TATTOOS ~ are now a part of my repertoire so please inquire! Perfect for pool parties. Starts at $125 per hour (without face painting). Consider including this...an inventory of hundreds of new glitter tattoos for a wonderful selection. πŸπŸ‹πŸ™πŸ’πŸ¬πŸ¦“πŸ¦ˆπŸ¦‡πŸ€βš½πŸ‰πŸˆπŸ‰πŸŒ·πŸ’– I've worked on a professional level with children of all ages for many years in a public school setting. As a Professional Face Painter, my goal is to assist in making your event a positive, memorable experience for the planner and guests. I also can be quite FAST ~~~ if there is a line waiting (which there usually is because they say, "it's worth the wait"!). Let me know if you would prefer the very simple, QUICK designs and we will roll them on through the line as speedy and efficiently as possible. I can limit the number of choices which helps with that. I offer face painting for all ages - kids * children * teens * adults * seniors! For birthday parties, picnics, company picnics, wedding receptions, neighborhood get-togethers, sporting events, festivals and corporate venues, add a face painter for some unique art fun at your event. Your hired professional will travel within the greater Puget Sound region and vicinity with a 2-hour face painting minimum for distances beyond my hometown radius. Travel charges may apply for long distances. Keep reading beyond this list of cities, towns, and neighborhoods for more reviews! Face Painting Services to the following areas: * Algona * Anacortes * Arlington * Auburn * Ballard * Beau Arts Village * Bellevue * Black Diamond * Bothell * Bryn Mawr * Burien * Camano Island * Carnation * Columbia City * Covington * Darrington * Des Moines * Dupont * Duvall * Edmonds * Everett * Factoria * Fairwood * Fall City * Federal Way * Gold Bar * Graham * Greenlake * Issaquah and Issaquah Plateau * Kenmore * Kennydale * Kent * Kirkland * Lacey * La Conner * Lake City * Lake Forest * Lakeland Hills * Lakeridge * Lake Sammamish * Lake Wilderness * Lakewood * Lea Hill * Lynnwood * Maple Valley * Marysville * May Valley * Medina * Mercer Island * Mill Creek * Mirrormont * Monroe * Newcastle * Newport Hills * North Bend * Olympia * Pacific * Puyallup * Ravensdale * Redmond * Redondo * Renton * Renton River Days * Sedro Woolley * Seafair * SeaTac * Seattle * Shoreline * Skyway * Snohomish * Snoqualmie * Southcenter * Spanaway * Sultan * Tacoma * Totem Lake * Tukwila * Tulalip * Whidbey Island * Woodinville * Yarrow Point and more Illustriddler, LLC provides a wide selection of choices for all ages, and I enjoy creating requests if the client can provide design(s) for clarification. My rate is variable and billing can be done in 1/2 hour increments if extra time is requested and if it is doable. I can paint full faces, cheeks, arms or combination. A large selection of colors in FDA-approved paints makes for interesting choices and I enjoy working with both children and adults. A typical design takes 3 to 5 minutes per person. In average, I can probably paint about 12-15 an hour. This is, of course, subject to intricacy of designs chosen. I remember painting 60 children in just over two hours. If you do the math and think about the time it takes for each child to get settled, etc. you will realize that it may look something like a sped-up video getting that many kids done so quickly. πŸ₯³ A non-refundable deposit may be required for first-time clients hiring me; this will hold your spot. Balance is due on the date of service upon my arrival. I can supply an invoice or receipt for final payment. If you are interested in a particular theme or style, need references, or if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Client Comments: Anonymous - Very creative and patient!

Very talented and able to even match any pattern, picture or colors requested by the paintees!! Jane -Fantastic to Funny Faces Karen painted faces at our library opening until everyone who wanted a kitty face, a princess face, a football etc. was satisfied. The art work was exceptional. She did at least 100 faces, probably more and stayed way past the time we thought we needed her. It was an exciting day and Karen made a great contribution to the fun. Each child was given a mirror so they could admire their face. Cristina - My kids, as well as, all the children at the party enjoyed getting their faces painted. She is very friendly and it's clear she enjoys working with children. Great service and she know that she will be here for my next party!

I had her come for my daughter's 4th B'day, the theme was 'Dora' and all the kids had dora painted and most went back to get more done. It was a hit with kids and parents alike.

Karen does a magnificent job, her designs are absolutely gorgeous and she can do just about anything! The kids also loved the special gift from Karen for getting their face painted. Carol - A magical evening for young and old alike! Our annual block watch party was a huge success, partly due to the face painting done by illustriddler. She was very personable and friendly with everyone in attendence. While people were waiting in line, there were books of face painting ideas to look through. She took her time with all of the kids and adults, giving them a professional looking painting on their face, arms or hands. She even took special requests. Everyone left extremely happy and most people came back for more! She was a big hit with everyone on our block and we will definetly ask her back next year. Anonymous - Ideal for any size group!

I hired Maki for my baby shower and she was absolutely fantastic! She is incredibly talented! Maki was great at communicating, showed up early and did a great job painting faces. My girlfriends all loved it! Sometimes mommas want to have a little fun too! I highly recommend Hoopla Face Painting and I plan to hire her again in the future for sure! Thank you!!!!!!!

Vonnie G.Jun 2019

My kids loved her, and so did our party guests! She is very friendly, and quick to respond. I was able to give face paint ideas that we wanted for my twins party, and those are what she did on the kids. It worked out great!

Vince d.May 2019

At the Uber Engineering Office in Seattle, we held our annual Take Your Kid to Work Day, filled with fun activities, games, and endless food & dessert for the kids. Karen joined us to be our face painter for 3 hours and did a fabulous job working with the kids. She was quite popular through the entire day! Planning with Karen was also great! She was responsive, professional, and very friendly. We plan to invite Karen to face paint in future office events!

Thi T.Mar 2019

Karen is amazing! She arrived 30 minutes early to set up so your time wont be short. She stayed late and willing to paint for the last kid without charging extra. Her quality is top notch. I got so many compliments. The kids love her, even the shy ones. I would totally book her again.

Connie P.Feb 2019

She was punctual and brought in all her magical painting supplies. The kids were so excited to have their face painted. They eagerly waited for their turn. She was able to provide picture suggestions for the kids. Everyone was very happy with their face painting. When I asked my daughter about what was the best thing about her party, she said most definitely the face painting. Thank you for making the experience so pleasurable for all the kids. We will definitely recommend her to our friends.
