Over the last 10 years, I have developed documents that help me in my business, and you are considering purchasing the ones I use most frequently. During the busy season, it is difficult to have to invent forms, surveys to send out to clients, and I find that it is easy to create professional-looking documents ONE TIME and then use them, as needed, every single day. Hopefully these examples will give you a jump start on creating them for your own company.
There are lots of Facebook Groups and Facebook Forums that will provide you with creative inspiration and feedback on your artwork. However running a face and body art business is so much more than that. It has to do with booking, model releases, insurance, independent contractors, profitability, tracking expenses and more. WHOA! Don’t start getting anxious as I am here to help.
If you sometimes feel like you are on your own tiny island in a sea of business questions, decisions, forms, and don’t know a tax spreadsheet from a PDF…then this Resource Guide is for you. You can use some of the tools as is, or adapt for your own business.

I recommend Diane to every entertainment professional I know, whether they are friends, family or colleagues (if you are serious about growing your business and taking it to the next level she is the ONE).
She was recommended by Tal Soriano, who I met at my first FABAIC in 2015. I was a total newbie and had no idea about opening my own business as a face painter. I did not even know any other face painters here in New Jersey. I did not even own a real kit, I purchased my first real kit from Sillyfarm right after I got back from the convention with a coupon code they gave us at one of the classes. After the convention I contacted Diane and joined the New Jersey Guild of face and body painters in August 2015. I registered my business right after that and 2.5yrs later I can say I am full time creative makeup artist/ face and body painter.
She not only advised me on what I needed to have to register my business in New Jersey but also walked me through it. I would not have started Paint 2 Smile without her guidance, help and support. She is not only a great mentor but a great friend. She will guide you into the direction that best suits you to help your business go to the next level. I truly can’t thank her enough. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!
Before I met Diane I was much more naive when it came to business. Within the last 5 years I am much more focused on the reality of my business, it’s successes and failures.
I can see my business in a much clearer light. I am also less emotional when making decisions.
Diane makes me feel confident in my undertakings, whether it is the administrative or creative aspect of my business. Diane makes me feel much more confident in my abilities to run my company.
If you want someone who is a natural born leader, I highly recommend Diane.
Before working with Diane, I was insecure with my skills and lacked confidence. Three years ago, I believed I was a good painter. Diane hired me and told me after the event that I did a great job and was happy with my work. This gave me the confidence to continue to move forward and upwards.Diane makes me feel that I can trust her advice and opinion. She has so much information as a savvy business woman and I always feel like I get educated when we have in depth conversations.
If you want someone who has the perfect blend of high quality marketing skills/business management (due to her corporate background), and her
hand on the artistic pulse that enables great advice to creative people, choose Diane.As an artist and a business woman myself, I have grown under the tutelage from Diane in several areas. From knowledge on what paints or brushes to use, to how to approach corporate clients, Diane has covered so much for me. I know I can ask her anything and trust I will get the information I need in order to approach the situation correctly. For all of this and more, I can recommend Diane.
