The Glitterarti Face & Body Art

Last updated February 2026

The Glitterarti Face & Body Art is a professional face painting service based in Petersham, inner west Sydney. Operating from a residential address on Westbourne Street, this mobile face painting business specializes in children's birthday parties and events throughout the Sydney metropolitan area. The service offers intricate face and body art designs using quality, skin-safe paints and glitters. Known for creative designs ranging from simple cheek art to full face transformations, The Glitterarti caters to various themes and can accommodate both small intimate parties and larger celebrations. **What to Bring** Wet wipes for quick touch-ups. Hair ties or clips to keep hair away from faces. A towel for after the party. Camera to capture the artwork before it comes off. **Best Age Range** Best for ages 3-12 years old, as younger children may not sit still long enough for detailed designs while teenagers often prefer simpler or more sophisticated artwork. **Good to Know** Bookings essential as this is a mobile service that travels to your venue. Service area covers most of Sydney but travel fees may apply for distant locations. Face paint typically lasts 4-6 hours and washes off with soap and water. Popular weekend slots book out weeks in advance during party season. **Tips From Other Parents** Schedule face painting for the middle of the party rather than the start so kids don't smudge designs during active games. Book at least two weeks ahead for weekend parties, especially during spring and summer. Have the birthday child go first to avoid meltdowns from waiting too long.
