Faces that POP! ✨ and all the glitter.
Birthday parties, summer festivals, school events. I turn kids into tigers, dragons and butterflies (and grown-ups into their favourite characters too). Years of glitter, brushes, and very happy faces.
SUMMER 2026 ★
I paint at birthday parties, festivals, school events, grand openings, summer camps, UV glow nights, Halloween.
Hi! I'm Marniand I'm a face painter.
For years now I've been turning kids into tigers and butterflies and dragons (and sometimes their grown-ups too). Every party is full faces, full glitter, and lots of laughs.
I only use professional water-activated paints. They're hypoallergenic, dermatologist tested, and wash off easy with soap and water. I'm fully licensed and insured by Alberta Health Services.
Fresh off the brush.

“We loved having Marni at my daughter's birthday party! She is a very talented artist and balloon twister - impressing all the kids and parents! She was professional, patient with the kiddos, and very friendly! Would recommend!”
“All the kids and even parents were happy with Marni's artwork! It was amazing and I highly recommended her professionalism. She was on time and price is affordable!!!”

The big Qs answered.
Only professional, cosmetic-grade water-activated makeup and glitter, the same brands used in film and theatre. Hypoallergenic, dermatologist tested, washes off with soap and water.
Full-face designs: 10–12 per hour, so every kid gets a proper one. Cheek art at festivals: 20–25 per hour. Group rates and second-artist options available.
Yes, fully licensed and insured, following all Alberta Health Services guidelines for cosmetics and events with children.
Calgary itself is always free. For spots a little further out there's a small travel fee, just ask and I'll let you know.
Free cancellation up to 7 days before your event. Deposit holds the date and is non-refundable inside that window, but transferable to a future booking.
Absolutely! Send palette references or your brand colours and I'll come ready. Custom design sheets available for corporate clients.
For little ones under 2 I skip the face paint (their skin is extra sensitive) and offer a tiny hand or arm design instead. Ages 2 and 3 do best with small cheek art, and from about 3 up the full tiger is on!
Absolutely! Sharks, dragons, dinosaurs, superheroes, skulls, and lots of favourites that work for everyone. My design menu has something for every kid, and they always get to pick.
For big crowds I switch to quick cheek art, bring in a second artist, or set up airbrush tattoos (around 60 tattoos an hour, with a 2 hour minimum). Tell me your headcount and I'll recommend the right setup.
Corporate events, festivals, multi-artist days, and anything over about 25 kids are best planned together. Send a message with the details and I'll come back with a custom quote.
