Christmas in the Park

I did my biggest pay per face event of the year last night. My sister and I painted from 4 till 9 and I even got a chance at two very quick bellies!!  (In very low light!)

I adopted these designs from Carolina the Doodler


My sister did the gingerbread man

That is awesome.
May I ask how much you charge for the cheek, eye designs?
What would be a good night in earnings?  Just a round about figure?
I am really curious what can be made in a decent night pay per face event.
If too private, I totally understand.
I have a pay per face event this Thursday at a grade school Christmas day.
So, I am more curious as to what to charge and what I can potentially make.  There are 350 students in the school.

BTW - love the belly paintings.  So beautiful.

Too cute Mandi!  I know what you mean about low light.  My event last Friday night was light that and it makes the painting a bit tricky.

I charge $4 for cheek art and $6 for the full face. I used to only charge 3 & 6, but I feel like 3 was cheap and I had really good designs, experience, by 3 years into painting now.

I took home about 375 that night from 4-8 p.m. and my sister left early and took home 250.

Wow....that is an awesome night of work.  I wish I could make money like that.   
I just got back from a school Christmas event and made only $54 from 3-6.
I was charging $5 for face and glitter tattoos.  But, all the parents were complaining so, I changed my sign to $4 and got custmers.  That $1 difference brought people to my table.  It was a school in a poorer part of the city.  So, I didn;t mind reducing my fees.  I even did about 1o free ones for kids that were too cute and the parents couldn't afford the price.  Which I didn;t mind. 


Thanks for the info Mandi.

Christmas is over.  This feels like a quieter time of year.
So what are you doing Now?
