We had a great experience with Sparkling Cheeks. She was professional, punctual, and friendly. We recommend Sparkling Cheeks for any event!
We have used Sparkling Cheeks service a few times and she is very dependable and professional. Highly recommended
She’s the best. The kids were so excited with their face painting and my daughter loved how well it matched her dresses. Thank you
Fabulous job! The face painting was top notch.

Great job
Response from Sparkling Cheeks:
Thank you so much!
I had these amazing artists for my daughters 2nd birthday. The face painting was very detailed and they took their time with each child. They had their own photo board for the kids to pick how they wanted their face painted. Very professional and super nice.
Response from Sparkling Cheeks:
Thank you so much for the kind words. We’re glad that you’re happy with our services. Thanks again for booking us!

We provide quality face painting that will wow your guests. We use many techniques that allows us to paint fast and efficiently. We can paint 12-15 faces an hour. You can customize what designs you’d like at your event. For example if you have a large event but want to hire only one artist for a short amount of time, then quick and fun designs would be suitable. We can also design special face paints according to the theme of your event!
My name is Shanequa. I have a degree in art and design. I’ve started my own bakery and now I started my own face painting business. I first started face painting, voluntarily at my church’s events in 2012 and I have loved face painting ever since. I was a face painter and henna artist at the Philadelphia Zoo. Sparkling Cheeks consists of me and my sister, who is an artist as well. Together we provide a fun and creative experience for your event.
