About Our Neon / UV Face Painting
Take your event into another dimension with Mika Face Painting'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 Face Painting 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 Face Painting 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 Face Painting holds £5M public liability insurance through Salon Gold 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.
Planning your face painting booking
- Price and minimum time
- Face painting starts from £120 for a two-hour service. Two hours is the minimum booking length.
- Guest numbers
- Allow around 12–16 guests per hour on average, or around 12 per hour for detailed designs. A fast service using simple designs can accommodate up to 30 guests per hour and costs more; arrange this when requesting your quote.
- Travel to your venue
- Travel is free within Sale for venue postcodes starting with M33. For other areas, a travel fee of £10–£30 applies depending on distance and is confirmed in your quote.
- A smaller group
- For smaller groups, discuss how you would like to use the booked time. Alternative activities or services may be agreed case by case; a shorter guest list does not change the two-hour minimum.
