Yes. Our Face Painters use professional cosmetic-grade face paints designed specifically for skin application.
The paints we use meet FDA and Health Canada cosmetic standards, are non-toxic, and are commonly used by professional face painters worldwide. They are designed to be gentle on skin and can be easily removed with soap and water.
If a guest has very sensitive skin or allergies, we recommend testing a small area first.
Of course! We can prepare a menu of themed designs for holidays, characters, or custom branding. Just let us know what you’re envisioning.
We don’t require power, but access to clean water nearby is ideal for rinsing and refreshing our brushes throughout the event. If there’s no running water at your venue, just give us a heads-up, we’re happy to bring our own water setup if needed.
Yes! Our Face Painters are based in Calgary, so most events within the Calgary area have no travel fees. This includes birthday parties, corporate events, school celebrations, and community festivals throughout the city.
Our local service area also commonly includes nearby the greater Calgary area such as Airdrie, Okotoks, Cochrane, and Chestermere, depending on the event details.

TriXtan Face Painters regularly perform at events across Calgary, Alberta, and Western Canada.
While our team is based in Calgary, we work with a network of professional Face Painters throughout Western Canada. For events outside the Calgary area, we typically book the Face Painter located closest to your event whenever possible. This helps reduce travel costs and ensures a smoother experience for your event.
We frequently provide entertainment in cities such as Edmonton, Red Deer, Banff, Canmore, and Lethbridge, as well as many other communities across the region.

A typical Face Painter can complete around 15 faces per hour on average, depending on the level of detail. Quick designs can reach 20–25 faces per hour, while more detailed, full-face designs may be closer to 8–12 per hour.
For most events, we recommend planning around 15 faces per hour per artist. This allows guests — especially kids — to choose the designs they really want, rather than feeling limited to quick options.
If you’re expecting a larger group, we can always provide multiple Face Painters to keep lines moving and ensure everyone has a great experience.
