About Us
We regularly hear "This is the best face painting we've ever seen!"
For over 15 years we have been providing professional, beautiful face and body painting to the Portland metro area!
Meet Julie!
Julie Corbett is the owner and artist at The Gilded Cat.
It all started with haunted houses and special effects makeup in her teens. From there, she branched out to face painting and founded her company in 2010. Julie loves creating memories for you and your family with color and sparkle!
Julie has been working with children her whole life: volunteering with children's museums, teaching science in Portland Public Schools, and coaching a swim team. She currently divides her time between her family, garden, travel, two mischievous cats, and her other job as an emergency veterinarian.
The Gilded Cat is proud to prioritize safety*, cleanliness, and wow-factor designs. The Gilded Cat and the artists we contract use only FDA-compliant, hypoallergenic products. We're also fully insured.
Let our skin-safe makeup transform you back to a time of fairy tales, imagination, and wonder!
