About
Hello! Embarking on the journey of establishing a face painting business aligns seamlessly with my artistic background. With a foundation in painting, drawing, and sculpting, I've found a natural extension of my skills in the realm of face painting. These artistic talents not only empower me to craft enchanting designs that captivate children but also enable me to work swiftly, ensuring that kids can promptly revel in their chosen designs and return for more if they so desire. The scope of my face painting knows no bounds; it's limited only by the imagination of the customer. Witnessing the sheer delight on a child's face as they gaze into the mirror post-painting is a moment of pure joy, marked by laughter and smiles. This infectious happiness renders my face painting an exceptional addition to any event—a universally enjoyed activity that transcends age barriers.

Liz was quick at painting, and all the kids were very comfortable around her. I was shocked to see 2 year olds so patient with a new person, but they were! She has a good energy that made them comfortable.

Liz was great. She communicated well, checked in, gave me updates on her arrival time and then was easy and great with the kids! We had her come do faces for a 6 year old party and the kids loved it.

I hired Fantastic Faces by Studio Bena for my daughter’s birthday party with 20 kids, and Liz did an incredible job! The kids chose their designs from a booklet or unique ideas they found on an iPad, and Liz brought them to life beautifully—vibrant, detailed, and safe for their skin. Liz was patient, friendly, and efficient, ensuring every child got their turn and left thrilled with their face paint. Her creativity and professionalism added so much fun to the party. I highly recommend her for any event!

Ani was great and the kids loved the balloons. I hired Ani for 2 hours and so there wasn't too many kids wanting balloons towards the end. I asked her if she could help my daughter with face painting and she helped without complaining. She came on time and made herself available to the last minute. Thanks Ani!

We used Ani for our fundraiser last year at our preschool and she did an amazing job! She had a steady line of kids for practically the entirety of the time that she was there and her balloon artistry was a huge hit with the kids! We positioned Ani close to our silent auction to buy parents extra time to browse and it worked a treat! We have invited Ani back again this year we were so impressed!!
