Face Painting, waterproof glitter tattoos, and bubble braids in the Northern Virginia area! Please contact me for a quote so I can help add some magic to your event.
I bring all of the supplies, folding table, and a director's chair for the event. Generally, arrival is about 15-20 minutes before the start of your event for setup. If you need an earlier setup, please let me know ahead of time for potential scheduling. I have experience working at many venues ranging from major sporting events to private block parties, but I love birthday parties the most!
Lindsey was a complete pro. She arrived early and her setup was very professional, not requiring anything from me at all. She worked quickly through the line of kids excitedly waiting their turn, but also took the time to create a one-of-a-kind masterpiece for each kid! With time to spare, she offered arm painting to kids who already had their faces painted, and even a few parents got something! Everyone was thrilled with her work, and I highly recommend her!
Swirls was a huge hit for my 6 year old’s birthday party! The designs were so intricate and fun!
We really enjoyed the service provided by Swirls Face Painting. Children and Adults loved the designs. We'll definitely be booking for more events.
Lindsey arrived on time and ready to go. She has a very friendly and pleasant demeanor. Lindsey was excellent with the children (ages 2 to 8 years old). Her face painting designs were very well done . She painted a lot of faces and had the same attitude at the end as she did at the beginning of the party. I would highly recommend using Swirls Face Painting. I welcome the opportunity to work with Lindsey again. She did an excellent job!
Lindsey was amazing - prompt, professional, flexible and so quick at transforming the kids' faces into their wildest dreams. All the parents at the party were complimenting her work and wondering how I ever found Lindsey :)
I highly recommend Swirls Face Painting! She was so prepared and organized and super talented. The kids were delighted, and we were too!
Super professional and so talented!!! Everyone was so impressed!!!
She did a great job painting faces and arms of all the children at the party. She was friendly and efficient with her painting. A great addition to any party!
We called Swirls in for a community festival. It was three hours long and they never took a break. They had a long steady line and pressed on like champions. They were tireless in the fast and friendly service they provided. I will definitely call upon them again.
She painted faces at our girls Halloween party and did a wonderful job! Everyone loved it and would highly recommend!
We had a 3 day event and face painting was a hit.
Thanks !!!
Lindsay was wonderful. She arrived to set up a few minutes early, set up, and was ready to goby the scheduled time. The kids were able to choose whatever designs they wanted. Her paintings were cute and delightful. Best of all, the kids had a super time! I would highly recommend Swirls Face Painting. Truly.
We are so happy that we hired her for our 7-yr-old's birthday party! All the kids loved it and as expected, she was a huge hit! She was very professional and did an amazing job painting the kids' faces. Very reasonably priced.
Professionalism from start to finish with both Gig Salad & Swirls. Our face painter kept in contact with me, showed up early & was an awesome artist!!!! She Painted young & old faces alike! Our event wouldn't have been the same without Swirls! I am the event planner for many various local events, and I will make it a point to use Gig Salad many times to come! Thank you so much! :) Juice Cisneros Lincoln Community Center Director
Lindsey not only spent hours under a blistering sun to paint dozens of kids, she stayed extra long just to paint the adults! And right as she was packing up a lady with a very fussy baby asked if she could paint a puppy and Oh My God! The baby was crying and wiggling and the mom was annoyed but by the time Lindsey was done EVERYONE was smiling and happy.
Her work is remarkable and you will never meet a sweeter person!
I have nothing but great things to say about Swirls Face Painting. Her designs are fantastic, her versatility is impressive, and the friendly professionalism is always top-notch. I recommend her for any event where painting is to be had.
Lindsey did face painting at my twins birthday. She is a fabulous artist and always has great ideas! She is also wonderful with children which is a must for her industry.

Face painting can be as quick or complex as a client needs, just depending on your event. Need one detailed face, or ten quick ones? Just let me know how many people are attending and the level of detail needed, and we can work out how long you might need to book. On average, one design takes about 3-5 minutes. Smaller cheek designs can be done faster if requested.
When booking, please let me know what your theme is so that I can bring at least one option to match. This could be anything, from cupcakes and princesses to your company logo.
I arrive about 15-20 minutes before the event starts for setup and to go over any last minute details with the host. It is best to have a nice, clear area for me to paint in, as I do it standing and move around a lot. Also, the space is needed for any line that forms as well as people taking pictures or just watching for entertainment.
I have been face painting for over ten years. I started out airbrushing at NHL and NFL games, and now focus on face painting for children's parties! I love allowing children to transform and play pretend, and face painting is a great tool for creativity. We are a military family and move around quite a bit and my home city is Nashville.
I have my BA in Art and Fine Art and multiple years of experience in working with children in 4H and camp environments. While birthday parties are the most commonly requested, I do also take bookings for festivals, pay per face events, and corporate events.
Please provide shade for the artist and access to a restroom for events over 2hours in length. For nighttime events, please ensure that enough lighting is available for the artist.
