Face Painting for kids? Where in DLA or DCA?

[incruzcontrol2]

Hello.

I saw a picture once of kids having face painting done in DLA. I can't find it anymore but I was wondering if anyone knows where or if this can be done in DLA? I'm thinking it was at BBB but I think they only do make overs with hairs, makeup, and nails? Does someone know. Thanks you.

Do you mean Disneyland (DL) or California Adventure (CA)? We had my daughter's face painted at a place by the Fun Wheel on the Paradise Pier boardwalk.

Thank you for the reply back. Either place is fine.. DLA or DCA.. I just wanted to be sure that they do this. And know what to expect? How much? What do they do? Is it pretty elaborate or a little picture? Any pictures you or anyone else can post would be much appreciated. thanks.

Sorry to change direction of the thread, but I have always wondered how sanitary their procedures are... I worked in a cosmetics salon for 16 years full time, and we followed stringent rules of sanitizing brushes, and ensuring that all cosmetics were never touched again (product was 'scraped out' into paper, etc.) so product was sanitary and fresh for each person), all applicators and brushes were sanitized as to protocol and each person had their own sanitized brushes that were used, and so I have many concerns when seeing people having their faces painted because I am so worried that the product(s)/applicators are not sanitary. (?)

Does anyone have more info. about this? We've always walked from it as it looks to me like they dip into the same pots of paint, etc. for each person.

Our girls had their faces painted just by the exit of Pixie Hollow. They were true artists, the speed they did the painting was amazing and the artwork was impressive.

Here are some pics from our experience. I never even considered the hygiene standards but now that you mention it I don't think it is very sanitary. Thankfully we had no problems but we probably won't do it again.

We had one of the cheapest designs but they can make very elaborate full masks as well. I think we paid $10 plus tax for this design.

My SIL is a certified Make-up technician as well. When she was going through school I used to be her make-up model and I remember the same things as you. Never use make-up out of the bottle, always put it on paper or a tray first, sanitize brushes after use.

That said, I had never thought about face painting the same way. I suppose it is exactly the same thing though. I wonder if they have some sort of sanitation liquid that they dip the brushes in between guests??

My kids love face painting I am really not too concered with how sanitary their brushes are; they get enough germs on them from everything they touch in a day. We have all survived this long in this world - a little brush sharing on cheeks isn't my greatest concern. I am sure that if Disney was not clean and sanitary, they would have lawsuits and such shutting this part of their operations down.

I am a face painter and I totally understand the concern from parents to not transfer germs from one child to the next via the brushes and paint. One strict rule in painting (which I follow even though some people haven't liked it), is to refuse to paint any child that has a rash, or an open area on the skin surface that is being painted. If the skin is broken, then germs can get in there. Other than that, there isn't usually a problem if the skin is intact. I also use wipes to clean faces that aren't clean before I paint them.

Thanks for all the replies. Really gives me and others something to think about.

My kids got their faces painted by the Princess Fantasy Faire. It was adjacent to the store area. It was $14 for the design they picked plus $2 for glitter. They did an amazing job and touched up their faces later on in the day for free. I also saw face painting n Downtown Disney.

PFF, Pixie Hollow and the Pier in DCA are the places I remember face painters. I think there was a stand over by the Matterhorn too. My girls were done on the Pier, they loved it. the artist was very good and fast, one of the best things we did for them. Yes, we would do it again, sanitary or not....LOL

We also did the Fantasy Faire. Me and my little girl got matching Tinkerbell designs. It was $14. It looked like they reused the paint pots, but tossed the brushes each time. could be wrong though.
