Mystique's Fancy Faces - Face Painting Near Me

See all

Hands down the best face painting we've experienced!! We discovered Mystique's Fancy Faces while attending an event at MultCo. Libraries and then booked them for our city 4th of July Celebration. Kai was the artist for the event and everyone was raving about their skills and talent! Kids and adults were walking away with incredible designs and smiles on their faces! So fun and so great!! Definitely plan on booking them again in the future!! Thank you!! read more

We visited at Frog Pond Farm and our daughters were overjoyed with their face painting!

Bait and switch. Short story: I checked reviews before booking this company for my daughter's birthday party a month in advance. The old reviews are pretty consistent that the company can do great work-- everyone raves about Celese' work. That's the catch though Celese as an independent worker can paint-- however Celese using other people to do the work is another story. Had Celese shown up, or been professional enough to cancel when she couldn't *professionally* staff the booking then my review would probably be different. Instead she knowingly sent someone who didn't have face painting skills. "Sorry" is not an acceptable form of making things right in business, any more than "thanks" but still not paying the bill would be. I run a medically fragile foster home. These group homes are made so that kids who would otherwise have to live in the hospital can have some normalcy in their lives. The 4yo birthday girl on the IV is waiting for a transplant. The boy in bed on the ventilator is end stage. I tried to do something special for them in booking this service and I am absolutely appalled that this business would take advantage of my desire to fulfill my daughters wish of a grand birthday party. Yes, having a face painter was important to me bc I don't know how many birthdays she will have so I will give her the world while I can. Granted I did not mention their condition or my home dynamics to Celese, but the artist surely saw who she was painting on. You don't screw over people who are already going through so much. Be a better business!! Full story: Celese immediately accepted the booking and asked for deposit. I paid it. Party bookings are $300 for 2 hours and add on glitter tattoos by the same artist (additional $50/hr). Several weeks later she reached out to let me know that she, nor any other artist even from other companies, was available to do the face painting part of my event but since I booked the additional service of glitter tattoos that someone could still come do that if I wanted to keep that. I told her the main thing we really wanted was face painting. I asked if it was possible to put the tattoos on faces, or for that same artist to paint with the stencil little things on faces. She said that was not possible because it adhesive that can't go on faces. Understandable. So since it was already Tuesday and the party was that Saturday-- too late to book anyone else I said just go ahead and send the glitter tattoo person only. She offered $50 off and some free custom signage for the inconvenience. I thought she was at least professional for acknowledging it was bad business to cancel the main thing 4 days before the event. On the morning of the party she called me saying she found someone who was newer to face painting but that she was still very good and could do both the face painting and tattoos. She said she knew how much my daughter wanted the face painting so she had been looking for someone. I thought it was professionalism but it turned out this was just greed. The girl who came told me she didn't really do face painting at all. She was trying to get into character work (dressing as princesses etc for parties) but that Celese wanted to send someone out to do my event so she agreed to come. Basically sounds like Celese wanted to be able to get the full booking payment by sending someone who knows how do the glitter tattoos (which are literally a stencil they put glue and glitter on over --no artistic skills required.) and having her paint happy faces on cheeks and call that face painting. She had no ability to do ANYTHING that is depicted on the business' website. She was very sweet about it and I felt bad for her being asked to do things she couldn't do but seriously... you're charging $300 for this face painting package and happy face or a peace sign is the best you can do?!?!??!?! Following up I let Celese know I was disappointed with the artist, and that she herself not only gave me the run around the week of the party all the way up to the day of the party, but she also failed to even bring the customized stuff she offered as an apology for the run around she was giving me. Sending a complete amateur and still charging the same professional rate is ludicrous. All I got in response to my complaint was excuses, an insincere apology, a flat out lie about why she didn't do the custom signage and a copy of the invoice she still wanted full payment on despite acknowledging her artist was not skilled. read more

I love these guys. They are hired every so often to paint faces at Mango Tango frozen yogurt and we never miss an opportunity to be painted by them. My kids love being dragons, monster faces. I've seen the perfect princess face, basketballs, spiderman, batman....she is so good! And so good with the kids. read more

Celese is AMANZING at face painting art! She is so good at working with young children and makes sure they are comfortable while she is applying the paint. Her designs are unique and perfect for kids AND adults! My son loves getting his face painted by Celese because she had great boyish styles. You won't leave her chair with a basic cheek design you'd expect from a face painter but your face will be transformed into a wonderful piece of art that you WILL NOT WANT TO WASH OFF! read more

Mystique's Fancy Faces - Definitely not your typical face paint. - Face Painting Near Me

Celese was great and I would highly recommend her for birthday parties. She was promt, super friendly, great with the kids, and did an excellent job painting their faces. She was able to draw from a menu of designs she brought as well as free hand designs based upon kid requests. All the kids were happy and looked great. The paint was nice too, wiping right off with a wet wash cloth at the end of the night. read more
