F.A.Q

Face painting as a career provides the opportunity to work for various events including painting children for parties, offering adult designs for festivals, and more. There are many types of events you may paint for as a professional including birthday parties, fairs and festivals, school carnivals, holiday parties, corporate events, community gatherings, and more.

There are two main categories of events that face painters accept:

• Pay-Per-Face (PPF) — Painters set up at a popular locale, possibly paying a small booth fee or percentage, and charge clients individually for their face paint.
• Hourly rate events — Painters are hired by an individual or organization at a set hourly rate to paint the guests of an event at no additional charge.

We have designed a course to meet the needs of every face painter. So, yes, our school is for you whether you’re a beginner, a professional, preparing to be an instructor, or just checking this out as a hobby.

You will definitely benefit from our courses if any of these are true for you…

• you want to provide a fun, safe, and professional experience face painting on your children, yourself, or as a volunteer
• you want to make face painting your profession,
• you want to expand your range of services as an entertainer or clown,
• you are a makeup artist and want to gain new skills,
• you are an experienced face painter who wants to stand out from the crowd and impress your clients with amazing art,
• or you want to become a face painting instructor and need to gain confidence and learn how to build an effective educational program.

You may have noticed that there are no amateur-looking designs here. We have a very high standard for the art and designs we included in this course, and an equally high standard for how we teach!

If you’re thinking that the training at the International Face Painting School is just a collection of video tutorials, it’s not.

We’ve created a unique experience with our online training system. Our students learn information equal to 30 day-long workshops, including all this and more:

• written text that is easy to refer back to
• design and line work templates to make your practice more effective
• detailed written notes and visual schemes to help you catch all the details when you’re rehearsing a new design
• 50+ in-depth video face painting lessons teaching designs, techniques, practice routines, and more!

Our face painting classes can be viewed anywhere in the world from the comfort of your own home.

We do not offer in-person classes, as our courses are so expansive that it would take 30+ days of all-day training to cover all the material in live classes! Can you imagine the expense and difficulty of scheduling for you as a student to come to a month of all-day training? But you can receive ALL the same valuable training and information at a small fraction of the cost AT HOME!

We have over a thousand successful graduates, proving that our online training is not only cost-effective but also provides remarkable results!

Even though learning in a live class from a great instructor is a wonderful experience we won’t ever discourage, you can’t rely fully on live lessons for ALL your face painting needs.

The problem with live classes:

🙁 You’re limited to what’s available near you or…

🙁 You need to pay expensive travel and lodging fees to learn as much as you can in a short weekend… Want to learn more? You’ll have to wait for our next conference, next year.

🙁 You only get what you were able to take from the class that day… No revisiting the material with new eyes, nobody is taking notes for you, no repeat demonstrations after you’ve had some time to practice, no support team to answer your questions next month.

🙁 You rarely get much, if any, feedback on your own art from your instructor in a group workshop or masterclass setting.

🙁 And, even the best teachers can only teach a little of what you need to know in a one or two-day training.

The solution?

⭐ Get the equivalent of 30+ days of all-day training so you can learn everything you need to know for your success!

⭐ Lessons on your schedule! Learn quickly when you’re really grasping a concept, or slow it down when you need extra practice. Rewind when you need to hear a step again, and never miss key information while you change your water or grab a snack.

⭐ Lifetime access to all content, no note-taking required. Revisit any lesson, any time, anywhere with our wonderful mobile-friendly interface!

⭐ Benefit from personalized feedback with an instructor who is entirely focused on your work and your success while they’re working with you.

⭐ Rely on our support team with any questions you may have, whenever you need help!

So, what are you waiting for? You can start seeing the improvements you’re dreaming of TODAY!

Great question! The best way to determine the right course for you is to focus on your GOALS rather than your current skills.
