Unique face painting for parties and events. Vaccinated, sanitizing between clients and distancing other than painted client! Artist and art teacher Kim Millen, strives to make the experience interactive... the client chooses colors and ideas while we create together. Great entertainment for birthday parties, company gatherings, business celebrations, while also offering prenatal bellies and full body painting. #1 on Yelp. Past clients include Cirque Du Soleil, NBC's Grimm, Nike plus hundreds more! Hire a pro and let the fun begin!
took extra time to see what each kid wanted and over delivered !!!! thank you so much (:
Kim and her team of face painters are amazing! Within minutes of leaving my request on her website, Kim had responded and in short order had a face painter booked to work the opening of Orenco Woods Nature Park. The artist accommodated our request for nature themed faces and was super fast without skimping on the face painting. I highly recommend U B Painted and look forward to working with Kim and her team again in the future.
Kim is so talented and what great fun, too! She's a perfect pick for a party atmosphere - professional, punctual and perfectly worth every penny!
Response from U B Painted:
I'm so happy to add that extra sparkle your guests will remember. A lot of the kids helped me make up their designs as they had their own ideas of what they wanted. Makes it even more special! Thank you! Sincerely, Kim
Kim was amazing - so easy to work with in setting up our son's Halloween school party.
Overall her ability to work with children is such a bonus, given the outstanding talent - everyone loved having their face painted and we'll for sure reach out to Kim for more fun in the future :)

We hired Kim for our Corporate Summer Picnic and she turned out to be the most popular event at the picnic! Adults and kids were lining up for Kim to paint faces and arms and legs. We all had such a great time and Kim even spent time teaching kids about mixing colors and it was basically like an art lesson while she was painting. She is so professional and was so wonderful with all of the children. She even stayed a little late to make sure she painted everyone that was waiting. We can't wait to use Kim for another event!
Response from U B Painted:
Thank you for the wonderful review Katy! I enjoyed every minute of your event! I look forward to painting for you again. Fondly, Kim
My 6 years old loves face painting. So we had Kim come over at a very short notice for a birthday party. She was amazing ! Great work ethic, very patient with the children. Will definitely recommend. She had great ideas for our aqua theme party. Btw, she did not get a break for 2.5 hrs!!! Have a super content 6 year old now :)
Kim was EXTREMELY professional. She was great about communicating what she needed from me before a large event. She worked extremely fast, and her art was unbelievable. What a wonderful addition to any event!
Response from U B Painted:
Thank you so much, Liz, for the wonderful review! It was our pleasure to paint and glitter tat for you! I hope to paint for you again in the near future!
With very short notice, Kim was able to work our event. She arrived early, was incredibly nice and the body & face painting she did during the event was great!
Also - she was so easy to communicate with and responded quickly to emails which I very much appreciated! I would definitely hire her the next time I need a face or body painter.
Response from U B Painted:
Dear Colleen, Thank you so much for the wonderful review! It was my pleasure to paint at your very fun party! I am so happy you thought so highly of me and I am looking forward to painting your family and friends again! Thanks again, Kim Millen U B Painted
Kim was great! She arrived as expected and was great with the kids. Her artistic ability is amazing. She even created a new design as requested by one of the kids. It turned out awesome. I would definitely book her again and look forward to another birthday party or event with her.
Response from U B Painted:
Thank you much for the great review! I had a wonderful time at your party! Robots and Siberian Tigers! So fun! I hope to paint for you in the future! Thanks again! Kim
I booked U B painted for my daughters birthday party. She was excellent. Very friendly and a wonderful artist. All the party quest had good things to say about her. I will be booking her again for future events
Response from U B Painted:
Thanks so much for the great review! Looking forward to seeing you in the future. Thanks again! Kim
Kim came to our home to entertain the children and guests at our huge backyard wedding. She was terrific! On time, friendly, and very, very skilled with the paint. Her custom designs were amazing and she has the ability to keep the kids entertained for hours. Got an adult event with a lot of kids coming? This was a spectacular idea and we are so glad we hired her. So worth it!
Response from U B Painted:
Thanks Lisa! As you were writing this, I was writing you a thank you including pics of all the custom designs I did with all your creative guests! Actually, you are the creative one, having me at your beautiful wedding reception! Face painting isn't really just face painting any more! It is art on you! Thanks again for the gig and the precious review! fondly, Kim
We hired Kim to do face painting at my dauther’s 8th birthday party. Kim was early, pleasant to work with and well organized. The most impressive thing was her artistic ability. Obviously, I would expect a professional face painter to have artistic ability but Kim exceeded my expectations. Her large and detailed face paintings were done so quickly, were absolutely beautiful and each one so unique. I don’t know how she managed to paint so many children so quickly but she did it with ease. No doubt Kim’s face painting made my daughter’s party. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!
Kim is much more than a face painter, she is more of a face artist. Her work is the best I have ever seen, and she goes out of her way to make children and adults have a great experience. I can't say enough positive things about her...she fit us in at short notice during her busy season, she brought all her own equipment, showed up early, stayed late to finish up everyone who wanted to be painted, and was so personable and fun to work with. She even took pictures and emailed them to me after the party! Her rates were extremely reasonable, and she was very professional. I highly recommend her!
Response from U B Painted:
Thank you so much for your kind words. It was my pleasure to create at your lovely party and I look forward to your next celebration! Sincerely, Kim
A big thank you to Kim for arranging the wonderfully talented Maggie and Andrea for our Company picnic. Two engaging kid friendly personalities that partnered well to make our event the best ever!!!!
Response from U B Painted:
You are so welcome Laura! They both had a wonderful time also! We feel that the experience of being painted or glittered up should be as great as the art work! We love people and what we do! Thank you so much . See you next year!
Sincerely, Kim Millen
We hired Kim for a joint birthday party with about 25 kids attending. She was professional from first contact to the last little girl who cried during the party, and needed a touch up on her butterfly paint. I can not recommend Kim highly enough! We got through every kid in the timeframe, she was kind and sweet and has a great rapport working with the kids to come up with unique designs. Half the girls asked for butterfly designs and not one face looked the same - the color combinations and amazing touches were really cool. We had a boy who didn't want a face paint, and she did an amazing snake "tattoo" on his leg. Some of the kids were so comfortable while being painted they fell asleep in the chair. It was just a great experience.
Response from U B Painted:
Thank you so much for your kind words and the time it takes to post! You are fortunate to have such a lovely family and friends! It was a wonderful party and indeed, it was a pleasure to serve you! I hope to see you again in the future! Thanks again, Kim
I set up a private appointment with Kim to have my face painted for a Halloween party and she was OUTSTANDING! Courteous, professional, and creative, she made my vision come to life. We chose to do a classic Dios de Los Muertos (day of the dead) theme. She was able to take ideas from various photos that I brought in and infuse them with her own creative expertise. I definitely got the 'WOW' factor I was looking for. Not only was I the talk of the party, I had people commenting everywhere I went afterward! Thank you Kim for making my Halloween an amazing, truly memorable experience.
Response from U B Painted:
Thank you Devin for the great review! It was fun to have a client who knew exactly what she wanted! Usually folks have a vague idea, and I go from there...(which is fun for me also, lol). You went to a lot of work to bring bring pics in to show me exactly the look you wanted and I'm happy your vision came to life for you! You were delightful to work with and looked just gorgeous! Thank you also for sending me your photographer's beautiful pictures!
Our organization, the Division Midway Alliance for Community Improvement (DMA) recently hired UP Painted for the Midway Fall Festival. Kim is amazing! She painted faces non-stop for three hours and everyone looked amazing. The number of children proudly showing me their new look was worth every penny. And the faces were pieces of art in and of themselves. Can't say enough good things about UB Painted.
Response from U B Painted:
That is so sweet of you to take the time to review me! Thank you! I had a wonderful time at your community event! Everyone was SO appreciative and extra nice! It was the perfect outdoor event to end the summer season! I'm getting geared up for indoor events.... especially birthday parties! Thanks again! Kim
For two years in a row UB Painted was a HIT at our company picnic. The staff is great - courteous, professional, talented and FUN. Children and adults enjoyed getting their faces painted and glitter tattoos.
UB Painted would be a great addition to any party, I highly recommend them!
Response from U B Painted:
Thanks so much for having us back! Everyone loved the glitter tattoos as well as the painting this year. People love to have choices! I enjoyed painting the creative requests at your company picnic! It makes the event even more entertaining for everyone to watch! Thank you for the wonderful review! Sincerely, Kim Millen (owner and lead artist at U B Painted)
Kim and Andrea were fantastic! They were very adaptable and willing to work in conditions other than the ones initially promised to them.
They came for Reed's Orientation and TONS of students were painted. They worked very fast (shockingly so!) and were nice, patient, and professional.
Everyone I talked to was impressed with their work. A great feature is that they are able to paint anything! Kim doesn't bring a set number of designs. She will paint from pictures off of smart phones and even has paper and pen available for people to draw their own designs! People were very happy with the creativity this allowed and each person's face painting was a lovely piece of art.
Would absolutely recommend for anyone looking for a face painter.
Response from U B Painted:
Thank you for the lovely review! We knew that Reed College wouldn't need a board, although we do have an assortment of them as each gig is different! Reed is known for students who think outside the box! What a fun and creative 3 hours that was! Thank you again for having us! U B Painted
Kim did an all around great job at our event! We hired her at the last minute for our daughter's birthday party, and she connected with us right away to setup our contract and arrived early on the day of the event. She was very attentive with our guests and even re-did some of the kids' face paintings when asked. You could tell she really enjoyed herself as well, which made it more fun for the guests too. All in all, I would totally recommend her for other parties and would hire her again if needed.
Response from U B Painted:
Thank you Kristin! Your party was so much fun and I'm happy the adults wanted to be painted also! Everyone was so sweet with a great sense of humor! Water play is bound to have a few redos with no problem! All the kids were adorable! Thanks again! Kim
