About us

I am Svetlana, a passionate children's entertainer and I'm so happy that you are here!

 

In January 2011, after learning face painting at the Eulenspiegel Make-up Academy in Hadamar near Frankfurt, I have founded the company called "Sparkling Faces", registered and insured according to the Liechtenstein law.

 

Since 2012 I have been attending annually the Face & Body Art International Convention (FABAIC) in Florida / USA. During this amazing event with over 500 participants I had a chance to learn the world's best in the industry.

 

In 2012 I took part at the FABAIC face painting competition in the "Novice" category, and won second place.

 

In December 2013 I have attended a "Monster Face Painting" workshop, held by the face & body painting world champion Matteo Arfanotti, in Milan, Italy.

 

In 2018 I have attended the "Kidvention" in Las Vegas / USA and enjoyed learning the art of balloon twisting with internationally renowned instructors. Among other classes, I took part in workshops by Jeremy Johnston, world champion balloon twister.

In 2022 I have graduated as a make-up artist from the most renowned make-up school in Switzerland "Face Design". (Gallery)

Another passion of mine is photography. I continuously practice my photography skills.

Almost all pictures on my website are taken by me, many of them have already been published in the international magazines- some even on the cover. (Gallery)

 

Since July 2012 I have been offering workshops for face painting (beginners, advanced and professionals), airbrush tattoos and balloon twisting. (Gallery)

 

In March 2014 I had the pleasure of teaching at the “European Face and Body Art Event” (EFABE) in Amsterdam / NL. (Gallery)

 

In September 2016 I have been teaching face painting at the “Bay Faba Face & Body Art Festival” in San Francisco / USA.

 

In May 2022 I was an instructor at the Online Summit by Olga Murasev.(Gallery)

 

In May 2022 I had the honor of teaching at the world's largest convention FABAIC in Orlando/USA, as well as being a judge at the competition and a kid’s track sponsor. (Gallery)
