Your list is empty.
Save musicians, entertainers, speakers, and services, and they’ll appear here.
Face painting for birthdays, festivals, grand openings, spirit nights, as well as private appointments for photo shoots and maternity belly painting!
Ivy can paint up to 20 faces an hour depending on the event and the choices offered. For large groups I offer a selection of fantastic fast faces to please a high volume at a quick pace. Smaller groups such as birthday parties allow for more elaborate designs and embellishments.
The choices are limited only by the imaginations of your guests!
Ivy is a former cosmetologist trained in the art of hair & makeup. Only cosmetic grade, professional products are used that have been FDA approved for use on the face and body.
Absolutely professional my kids wants another birthday tomorrow lol highly recommended
My daughter had a birthday party on the 10/31. Ivy didn’t disappoint. She did everyones face and even did the adults. Her work is amazing and she is very patient with the kids. They loved her. I will rebook again in the future.

Response from Face Painting By Ivy:
Thank you so much for your kind words 🥰
I had a great time meeting your family & friends and glad to have been a part of the celebration! Painting those adorable babies was so much fun!
She arrived with many demands and seemed not to be able to handle a change as small as moving from one location of the block party to another. Her art work was Amazing and the children loved it however; she was semi-short fused with adults. I had a $75 tip for her in hand but she stormed away after her time was up without saying a word, and I was available and visible at all times. If I had to tip for her demeanor, she would not get a dime, but skill and service with the children, she was worth every penny. I still am amazed that she left the way she did.
Response from Face Painting By Ivy:
This is my first ever less than stellar review in over 6 years and hundreds of events but I’m not surprised that you were displeased. You seemed irritated by my arrival and presence, despite having hired me to be there. It was an awkward event and with the weather going from blazing sun to rain and back again, my request to set up under one of the tents was met with surprise and difficulty. In the future, please expect to provide reasonable accommodation for anyone you hire to work for you. Also, if you’re planning on a water slide, maybe Face Painting isn’t ideal. I could have brought several waterproof body art options for the kids had I known that was the plan. In regards to adults, I can’t imagine who thought I was short-fused since I painted several happily, it was hot and miserable, but my job was still to have fun. In the end, I felt like I was run off in a hurry as you came to take away the tent I was under and wouldn’t even give me time to move out of the way or close my kit before lifting it over me.
I do appreciate the kind words about my actual art & best of luck in the future. For the scale of what you’re attempting to put on, I would strongly suggest a professional event coordinator next time.
Everyone loved Ivy's work at our party. Will definitely be booking her again for future events.

You are so kind! Your family and friends were all lovely and I was so grateful for the help to my car when the rain came. I'm looking forward to more events with your family and painting your kids as they grow!
Ivy did a fabulous job face painting for a large crowd. The faces were really unique and special despite the crowd- she also moved quickly
