I would do $5.00 for a small design and $8.00 to $10.00 for full face. Maybe even have a $3.00 quick design you could do in under 2 minutes...

Can you check the going rates in your area? I'm new and not fast. I haven't done a Ppf event but Denise (paintedparty)said 5.00 faces go over well. You also could do dauber paint designs ( search ) for 3.00 to keep things going fast. Hav a tip jar out. Upsale with the liquid bling and gems. Good luck!

About a dollar per minute. But you do have to be able to do decent designs in 5 minutes or less. If you are doing a donation type booth I would keep all the designs small because you are probably going to have a line up. What's your skill level? Show us some stuff.

I've seen sone beginners with beginner work and then I've seen some beginners with crazy good talent! LOL

You should beable to do a full face in about 5 minutes or less. A tiger, kitty, puppy, and spiderman all should be 5 minutes or less Smile

I started out doing small eye designs for $3. Just know if it's a big event, you will have more people in line for $3 then $5 Wink

They have Martha Stewart daubers at Michael's - six different sizes for a little under $5 before coupon. They also have daubers on the stick but you can take the sponges out of the Martha Stewart ones and throw them in the wash.
