What our clients look for…
Choosing the right entertainment for your event can be challenging. Here is what Living Magic offers, based on over a decade (and well over 1,000 parties) of experience being one of Vancouver’s top children’s entertainment companies.
We find our clients are often looking for a mix of fun, safety, reliability, and ease. Here are the biggest factors that influence their decision:
🎨 1. Quality & Style of Face Painting
Clear, recognizable designs (butterflies, superheroes, animals, princesses)
Bright colors and clean lines
A style that looks good in real life and photos, not just on social media
Options for different ages (toddlers vs. older kids)
With Living Magic, what you see is what you get. All of our photos on our website and social media are taken directly at parties and events our artists have worked.
🧼 2. Safety & Hygiene (Very Important)
Use of professional, skin-safe, cosmetic-grade paints

Willingness to avoid designs for kids with sensitive skin or allergies
⏱️ 3. Speed & Crowd Management

🎉 8. Customization & Party Fit
