I had my own small business for 3 years painting faces
at markets while I was in highschool. Its a great business to be in, because you can set up anywhere and it is so popular for such a range of events like kids parties, costume balls, sporting events and markets.
All you need to start is a card table, two fold-up chairs, red, yellow, blue, black and white paint. (You can mix all other colours and put them in small jars) Some brushes of different fineness, a few sponges for bases, and a container for water. - Pretty simple! And you can charge according to the complexity of the design, eg. a tattoo, a half face, or a full face design.
To attract the most business, you should paint your own face and wear a costume to match. Nothing advertises you better than you do! And everyone will love it.
Well thats all my tips, good luck! Most importantly have fun! I hope you get some ideas from the pictures I have here! |
