About Us

Rainbow Facepainters is owned and operated by Shelimar Lakowski.  After taking an extensive professional make up artistry course, she worked as a facepainter at the Vancouver PNE summer fair for her teacher.  Shelimar then took on the contract, employing up to 10 artists for 5 more years.  Shelimar registered the company name after successfully convincing  the government that "facepainter" was a true occupation.  Facepainter is now one whole word with a cosmetic meaning.  Please add it to your dictionary.  Shelimar strives to upgrade the quality of facepainting services, and to elevate the expectations of the public in terms of hygiene and beauty of work.  

Maintaining Rainbow Facepainters for 26 years, Shelimar also works as a potter, teacher, and ceramic studio manager.

Feedback

Shelimar, Thank you so much for a great work yesterday. You were amazing! Your art skills are outstanding. You are not only very talented, but also you have a great way to work under the pressure (so many kids wanted to have their faces painted) and still being able to keep your smile. Kids simply loved you. I had only good comments from all parents and I have not seen so many happy children's faces in my life.
My event was a big success, because of your dedication. 

I would not hesitate to recommend your services and I am looking forward to working with you in the future.
