About our Face-painting
Our face painters in Zumikon bring the fun with every brushstroke. Whether it’s a sparkly unicorn or a classic pirate look, kids love the chance to choose their own designs and see the transformation in the mirror. Each face takes just 3–4 minutes, and our artists are quick, friendly, and great at keeping the line moving.
- Professional trained face-painters
- One hour of face-painting fun
- Up to 12 kids in an hour (add 30 mins for every additional 6 children)
On the day of the party, your face painter will arrive around 10 minutes before things get started to set up and get ready. We suggest a shady or comfortable spot for painting so kids can wait and relax. Whether your event is big or small, face painting is a simple and ideal way to keep the little ones entertained.
Popular face-painting designs Bazinga‘s artists can paint include unicorns, dogs, butterflies, dinosaurs, flowers, princesses, superhero’s and mermaids. Have something specific in mind? Just let us know when booking.

ZumikonSome FAQ's
How far in advance should I book my face-painting in Zumikon?
We suggest booking your Zumikon face painting at least two to three weeks in advance to secure your preferred entertainer. Summer weekends are the busiest period, so if your party falls between May and September, aim for three to four weeks of lead time. Our face painters arrive with professional-grade, skin-safe paints and an extensive design menu that children love browsing. Whether you are hosting in a Zumikon garden overlooking the Gold Coast hills or inside a local community space, our artists adapt seamlessly to any setting. Book online in just a few clicks, or contact us on WhatsApp to chat about your event.
How many children can one face painter do per hour?
Our Zumikon face painters typically complete 10–12 children per hour with full face designs. For simpler cheek art or smaller designs on hands and arms, this can go up to 15–18 per hour. Our minimum booking is 1 hour at CHF 195 — whether you’ve got 5 kids or 12, that’s our standard call-out rate. For parties with more than 12 kids, we recommend booking 1.5 hours, or adding 30 minutes for every additional 6 children beyond 12. Not sure? Send us a quick message with your guest count and we’ll figure out the right booking duration with you.
What if a child doesn’t want their face painted?
No problem at all. Some kids, especially younger ones, are a bit nervous about having their face painted — so our face painters are happy to paint small designs on the back of a hand, on an arm, or even “jewellery” designs around the wrist instead. Every child gets their moment one way or another. Just let the face painter know on the day, or mention it at booking if there’s a specific child you’d like us to go gentle with.
Are the face paints safe for children?
Yes. We use professional, water-based, hypoallergenic face paints from trusted brands including Snazaroo, Wolfe FX and FX — all dermatologically tested and certified safe for use on children’s skin. Paints come off easily with a wet wipe, or warm water and soap. If a child has particularly sensitive skin or known allergies, just let us know at booking and we’ll take extra care or do a small patch test before the session.
Can the face painter match my party theme?
Yes, and we can go more detailed with face painting than with most services. Whether it’s Frozen, Spider-Man, princess, unicorn, dinosaur, jungle safari, pirates or something more specific, tell us your theme at booking and we’ll brief the face painter in advance. For complex or custom themes, a bit more notice is helpful so the artist can prep reference designs and the right colour palette. The more you tell us, the more they can tailor their design menu to the vibe of your party.
How do I get the face paint off at the end of the day?
Easily. Our face paints are water-based (not oil-based), so they come off with a wet wipe, or warm water and a bit of soap — no scrubbing needed. Most parents do it at bath time and it rinses right off. If any colour lingers on sensitive skin, a second wipe with a little soap does the trick. The paint won’t stain pillows or clothes as long as it’s been properly dried during the party.
Can I combine face painting with other entertainment?
Absolutely — and it's one of the most popular choices. Our Active Party package (CHF 325) combines face painting with balloon art or party games, delivered by the same entertainer in a 90-minute session. The Complete Party (CHF 545) includes three services over 90 minutes. Having one entertainer run everything is much smoother than coordinating multiple people — and works out cheaper than booking separately.
What do I need to provide at my Zumikon venue?
Just a small table and two chairs — that’s all. Your face painter brings everything else: paints, brushes, a design menu, and a cheerful attitude. If you’re hosting outdoors, a shaded or sheltered area works best so the paint doesn’t dry too fast in direct sun and the kids aren’t squinting. We handle the rest.
What happens if my outdoor party gets rained out?
Zumikon weather being what it is — if an outdoor party gets rained out on the day, we’ll happily reschedule your booking at no extra charge. We know how much planning goes into a kids’ birthday, and we’d rather move the date than have your little guests huddled under a soggy gazebo. Just let us know as soon as you can, and we’ll work with you to find a new date that suits.
What age is face painting suitable for?
Face painting is a hit with kids aged 3 and up. For younger toddlers (1–2 years), children can sometimes be shy or fidgety which makes a full face painting tricky, but our painters are experienced with nervous little ones and will always work at the child’s pace. For very young parties, hand or arm painting is usually the better call — and balloon art tends to work well for any age group.
