I face paint for all types of event: birthdays, costume parties, festivals, Halloween parties, block parties, church events, mardi gras, family reunions, etc. I have college experience and a phenomenal portrait drawing background. Check out my work: Face Painting by Kema. I also do baby showers (bump art, get your baby painted before they are even born! only charged for traveling price). I travel within a 45 minute radius of McHenry, IL. I am very familiar with the Kane County and McHenry County Area.
Everyone was again very impressed with Kema’s face paint and body paint. She was responsive to questions online, arrived on time, and did a great job with the face and body paint. Highly recommend!
We had Kema do face painting at our company picnic. The kids really enjoyed their paintings. Even the bartender had her face painted!
Kema was fabublous and her art work was top tier!!! Highly recommend her!
Kema was great our our neighborhood block party. She was on time, had her equipment ready to go, and painted amazing face and body paintings. I will definitely be calling her again for my next event. Highly recommend!
She was so nice and professional. Knew how to do so many paintings. Kids and adults gave her a 10+. Can't wait to use her again.
Kema's facepainting was a major highlight of our neighborhood's big annual 4th if July event. She's great with kids, professional, timely and responsive. It rained during party so having facepainting was great activity when everyone was seeking cover too. Thanks again!!
Kema was wonderful and her face painting was a huge hit at my daughter's birthday party! We had kids of all ages at the party and face painting was the perfect activity to engage everyone. Kema was friendly, timely and had lots of designs for kiddos to choose from. Highly recommend!
Kema was a pleasure to work with. I hired her for a church fundraiser dinner. Her artwork is beautiful! All ages enjoyed her work. She even took requests for images not listed in her book. I will hire her again.
You did really good on my son’s birthday. I look forward to working more with you. The art work was really beautiful. One thing I would recommend would be to use a waterproof paint so it can last through the party.
Kema was so good with all of the kids, she even did designs she didn’t necessarily have. She’s a very talented artist and so so sweet! I would recommend her to anyone!!
Response from Face Painting by Kema:
Thank you so much, Brittany. It was a pleasure painting for your little girl's party.
Kema did a standout job at our son's fourth birthday party. She was warm and engaging with the kids and made them feel completely comfortable. She really brought an artistry to her face painting -- it was nothing like what I was used to as a kid -- she used glitter, detail brushes, gem stones to create really detailed intricate designs. Even with all that detail she was still really efficient and got through a steady stream of parents -- even adults. The kids were obsessed and it seriously MADE our party. We highly recommend Kema and have shared her info with a number of party attendees who asked. She was also incredibly professional, prompt and communicative. We ended up hiring her for an extra hour. :-)
Great to work with.
Response from Face Painting by Kema:
Thank you so much. It was a great day. I've painted so many of the college's firebird logo, I think I can do it from memory now.
Kema did an amazing job and it was the highlight of the party.
Kema was wonderful! We are so glad that we found her. She did an amazing job painting nearly forty little faces, all of which looked wonderful. We highly recommend her and would use her services again.
Response from Face Painting by Kema:
Thank you so much Jesse. I have to say this was a group of very caring people. The ConceiveAbilities Organization is a very beautiful group.

Expect good quality, very detailed, precise, and proportional artwork. I work from a binder of selected pieces. However; request can be made upon booking or immediately before each painting. I'm children and adult friendly. I'm respectable of people and their property.
I've been Face Painting for 3 years now. I have tons of experience working with kids or as I call them, "moving canvases." I started working as a Temporary Airbrushed tattoo artist at Santa's Village Azoosment park in East Dundee, IL. We incorporated face painting into the shop where I began painting 30-40 full faces in a day, charged per person. Customers were more pleased with the results than they'd expected to be and insisted that I attend their private events. Thanks to word of mouth and my first client (JF) lol, I've made it a more professional hobby.
Speed: I can paint 10-12 faces in an hour
Price: $80/hr -220/hr based distance of travel. (prices are subjected to change)
Travel: I Travel around Chicago land area. Mainly NW Suburbs.
Supplies needed: I will need water, a table, 2 chairs, and a controlled line of "moving canvases"/people.
My supplies: I use Face paint by @snazaroo. I use soft glitter so as not to irritate or cut the eyes. I may use adult lipstick upon request.
Face painter's operation: I will arrive at a designated time and set up at a space provided by the client. I will begin painting while keeping record of the time. Usually the guest of honor or birthday boy/girl will be painted first upon client's request. I will paint faces in an orderly fashion. If the client wishes to be on an exact scheduled time painting duration, it is their responsibility to cut off the line or else I will continue painting. (This is solely because the guest are unaware of the contracted time and will continue to line up to be painted for second times around. If the client wishes to be on an unlimited time duration, I will continue to paint until the line clears itself out and charge for time afterwards. I will collect pay before leaving. Tips are accepted. This operation usually goes by smoothly but I am open for other suggestions.
In some cases such as open events and festivals, I may be booked to charge per person. This is for 100 plus person events. Deposit is required.
Prices: $30 travel fee from booking client price from guests: $10/full face. $8/half/mask. $6/arm. $5/cheek/eye/hand. $1/mustache/very simple art
Duration: I will stay a minimum of 1 hour. Additional other time will be based on my judgment of business
In some cases such as open events I will book myself for events where there is a charge from me for a table. I will charge the above prices per person, and duration will also be my judgment.
Not recommended for pool parties.

I use high quality FDA approved hypoallergenic face paint and glitter. They are all water based and washes off smoothly with soap and water.
I became a face painter at Santa's Village Azoosment Park in East Dundee, IL. I became a private Face Painter by the influence of customers at Santa's Village mainly through my special client, J.F. for her daughter O.F. I am an automatic/assumed face painter for my nieces, nephews, and cousins lol.
