About Our Neon / UV Face Painting
Take your event into another dimension with Mika's spectacular neon and UV face painting service. Using specially formulated UV-reactive face paints that burst into vivid, electric colour under ultraviolet light, this service creates an atmosphere of pure visual magic — ideal for neon parties, glow events, nightclub activations, festivals, and any occasion where you want your guests to truly shine. Under normal lighting, these designs look bold and vibrant with rich, saturated hues of electric blue, hot pink, acid green, and blazing orange. But the real transformation happens under UV or black light, where the designs ignite into an otherworldly glow that is nothing short of breathtaking. Geometric patterns, celestial motifs, fluorescent florals, and abstract tribal art all come alive in ways that standard face painting simply cannot replicate. Mika combines technical precision with genuine artistic creativity to produce UV designs that are as stunning to photograph as they are to wear. Whether you're after matching sets for a group, a single centrepiece design for a performer, or a flowing, full-face piece that turns heads from across the dancefloor, Mika has the skill and the palette to deliver. All UV face paints used are cosmetically compliant, skin-safe, and dermatologist-tested. They are entirely water-based and wash off easily at the end of the night with warm water and cleanser. Mika holds £10M public liability insurance through BAPIA and is experienced working in both dark and low-light environments typical of club nights, warehouse parties, and outdoor festival stages. If you're planning a neon or UV event and want entertainment that genuinely matches the vibe, this is the service for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do the paints only show under UV light?
No — UV-reactive paints are vividly colourful under normal daylight or artificial lighting as well. Under UV or black light, they glow intensely, creating a dramatic dual effect.
Are UV paints safe for skin?
Yes. Mika uses only professional UV face paints that are water-based, cosmetically compliant, and dermatologist-tested. They are removed easily with warm water and a gentle cleanser.
Do you bring UV lighting equipment?
Mika does not currently supply UV lighting rigs, but can coordinate with your event's lighting team. Many venues and event hirers provide UV lighting as part of their setup.
Is there a travel surcharge for evening events?
A travel fee of £10–£30 applies depending on distance — always confirmed at time of booking.
What Our Customers Say
“Absolutely amazing! The face painter was so quick but the designs were beautiful — really clean, vibrant and unique. The kids were buzzing because she had styles none of them had seen at other parties. Such a lovely vibe, super friendly with the children, and honestly made the party feel that bit more magical. Would 100% recommend.”
“Mika was exceptional at my child's birthday party. She decorated the faces of 43 children at lightning speed — and all of them looked brilliant and were made to feel special. I would highly recommend Mika to anyone.”
