About Me

..
With a long and varied background in the fine arts, I started face painting in college when I was a member of a volunteer group that hosted parties at a children's hospital in Boston. A few years ago, I began painting faces professionally. I have worked at many street fairs and festivals, birthday parties, picnics, and events, and even at two senior living facilities.
I have expanded my repertoire to include henna tattoos using natural brown henna, and temporary glitter tattoos using cosmetic grade adhesive and glitter. Henna lasts 1-3 weeks, and the glitter tattoos up to 10 days. For further information see my website at: Face Painting by Larissa .
I use only FDA-compliant, cosmetic-grade paints, glitters, and adhesives as well as natural, safe brown henna. In addition, I am fully insured.
Adults and children alike love to be painted, or get henna or glitter tattoos.
