Concluding

And this part is really important: Do not give up.

Face painting is a skill, not a talent you’re born with. Every confident, fast, successful face painter you see, including me, started with:

  • Wobbly lines
  • Smudges
  • Designs that didn’t turn out how I imagined

That’s normal. That’s learning. If you stick with it, this skill can:

  • Create a profitable side business which is so fun, it doesn’t feel like work
  • Create a flexible income around school hours
  • Grow into a full-time business, earning full time salary
  • Or simply give you confidence and creative joy

And yes. it can make you really good money.
