What Is Face Painter Insurance?
Face painter insurance is designed to protect you from third-party claims related to your body art business. Say a client tumbles off your chair or has a negative reaction to your makeup. When the unexpected happens, this type of vendor insurance can cover costs like medical bills and legal fees.
Think of insurance like your backup brushes — it’s a safety net that helps you focus on your creativity, not on the risks of running a client-facing business.
How Much Is Face Painting Insurance?
Face painting liability insurance starts at $9.99 per month or $96 per year. Your final cost depends on the payment plan you select and any optional endorsements you add to your policy, including:
- Tools and supplies coverage (starts at +$2/month)
- Cyber liability (starts at +$6.58/month)
- Additional insureds (+$15/year for one; +$30/year for unlimited)

Your face painting insurance policy automatically includes:
- General liability insurance: Can cover third-party bodily injury and property damage claims
- Professional liability insurance: Can protect your business against third-party bodily injury claims related to your face painting technique, advice, or recommendations
- Personal and advertising injury insurance: Can cover claims of non-physical injuries, such as libel, slander, copyright infringement, or marketing mistakes
- Products and completed operations coverage: Designed to cover claims related to products used during service, or the completed services themselves
- Fire legal liability coverage: Can pay for fire-related damage to your rented workspace
- Medical expense limit: Can cover medical bills for third-party injuries that happen at your business, regardless of who’s at fault
