Our friends from Makin' Faces are BACK!

Tania and the crew are ready to wow you with their incredible free-hand face painting. If you can imagine it, they can (almost certainly) paint it!

Off-the-face painting is still a great option, too! Many kids - and adults - prefer a fun arm or leg 'tattoo'.

Visit Brighten Up in July & August for FREE FACE PAINTING
