“I’m not a painter, nor have I ever been but I’ve definitely learned a lot with this online course. I have even been approached to do face painting at events! Oh how simple the course makes things!! Thank you so much I have one very happy daughter also!!” - Toni T.

“You don’t need to be an artist to be a great face painter. The best face painters are those who understand that it’s about the whole experience, not only the end result.

My vision for Face Paint Club is to make face painting more fun and more accessible to more people. Let’s paint the world a happier place, one smile at a time ”

Kate Matthews, Founder

  • Absolutely love it 😀 so easy and casual

    DESIREE TINETTI

  • I have actually face painted before, but I still learned some new tricks. The way this is presented, I feel, was excellent and would be very easy for a complete beginner to understand.

    Amy Khoury

  • Love the details and effort in making this course. I enjoyed it completely and was able to implement the tips and advice given.

    Sarah Hammoud

  • This course was amazing! Has a lot of content to learn and practice. You start a business with the knowledge that you learn, I did the course to learn for my own children's birthday parties and I’m confident with a little more practice I could create happiness for the children who attend.
