Meet the Artist
I'm a Tennessee mom of four who turned a love of painting butterflies and superheroes on my own kids into Sandy's Fancy Faces. What started as a fun side project now brings hypoallergenic face painting to birthday parties, festivals, and events across the state.
Read Sandra's Full Story →Simple, transparent pricing. Walk-up designs are priced per face at public events; private parties are booked by the hour.
Our Work
From quick cheek stars to full character transformations, here's a small taste of what shows up at our events. Hover over a design (or tap it on mobile) to see what it is.

Professional, water-based, hypoallergenic, FDA-compliant cosmetic paint made specifically for face and body art. It washes off easily with soap and water.
For private parties, especially weekends in spring and fall, book at least 2-3 weeks ahead. Popular dates can fill up fast, so earlier is always better.
Yes, a deposit is required to hold your date for private events. It's applied toward your final total, with the remaining balance due the day of the event.
Life happens - give me at least 48 hours notice and I'll work with you on a new date, no penalty. For outdoor events, we'll keep an eye on the weather together and reschedule if it's not safe to paint.
It depends on the design, but a good rule of thumb is 12-15 faces per hour for quicker designs, and fewer for more detailed full-face work.
Absolutely! Face painting isn't just for kids - I paint teens and adults at festivals, corporate events, and themed parties all the time.
Fill out the form and Sandy will follow up within 24–48 hours to confirm availability and lock in your date.
