While face painting is not prohibited, Guests at least 14 years old may not wear costume masks. So you'll want to be careful that your face painting plans don't end up so elaborate that the security Cast Members turn you away if your artwork conceals your face more than they are comfortable.

Yes, you can wear face paint to Disney World, but it is subject to the park's strict costume and safety policies. For guests 14 and older, face paint must not cover the entire face; it should be used in a way that allows for easy identification by security. Generally, "partial" face painting that covers no more than half the face or is used for accenting (like a small design on the cheek) is perfectly acceptable. For children under 14, more elaborate designs are allowed, but the paint must still not be "offensive, obstructive, or violent." In 2026, Disney security reserves the right to ask any guest to remove or modify their makeup if it is deemed to be a "mask-like" obstruction that prevents identification or if it is part of a costume that violates their "adult costume" restrictions during non-holiday periods.
