Reviews

Antonia from A Face Painting Dream is a star. I first saw her work at the NSW Tennis Open a year or so back. Children lined up all day just to get their faces done…the work was extrordinary. A couple of weeks ago she came to a party where my grand children were in attendance… the quality of work was excellent…and she is so fantastic with the children. If you want to see a face painting star..get Antonia along to your next kids function

Antonia came to my son’s 3rd birthday party and did the face painting for all the children who attended. Her work was simply stunning, some of the best face painting I’ve seen. She was so lovely to the kids as well. It’s also great that she offers the extra service of balloon sculptures too. The kids loved this also, so she is such a great choice of entertainment for any child’s party and at a very reasonable price too. I would recommend Antonia to anyone having a child’s party, as she is wonderful!

We booked Antonia for our church fun day – she was the hit of the event! Kids couldn’t wait to have their faces painted and her painting was amazing! We’re already wanting to invite her back again for next year!

Antonia is so kind and talented face painter and I am so appreciated that she can come to my daughter’s child care centre and made those almost 30 kids so happy! A big thank you to you!

Antonia recently attended my daughter’s birthday party to paint all the childrens faces. She did an absolutely amazing job! Antonia worked cheerfully and tirelessly over approximately 2.5 hours to make sure every guest who wanted their face painted, left with an absolute masterpiece of their choice! Antonia is a true artist. She has a great eye for design and colour and excellent attention to detail. All requests were met with enthusiasm and every child left with a unique artistic design – complete with glitter and jewels. I would absolutely recommed Antonia and will certainly be using her again the next time I need a face painter!

Antonia has true talent. She painted my sons face at a local shopping centre. I was truly blown away and then quickly booked her for my sons party. She can also do some balloon twisting. She is a pleasure to work with and so accommodating.

Nice service they are offering. They got the job done. Best place. WIll use them again

Great painters, I had my friends kids visit this place a while back for he was invited to theme party at common’s friend place. They got the job done. Best place.

The greatest Face Painters on the Planet and we are truly lucky to have such talent here. I would not ever get my face painted by anyone other than these painters of faces.

This was a wonderful treat for my friends children, above and beyond the usual face painting at markets. Very professional and affordable#reviewtowin

The face-painting work was absolutely stunning and the face painter was lovely. The kids all had a wonderful experience being painted as some of their favourite characters, e.g Elsa and Iron Man, the adults even enjoyed it! Antonia is a lovely woman who is clearly good with children and willing to travel in order to meet the needs of the customer. Highly recommend this face painter to anyone based within the Sydney area!

This face painting artwork is incredible. A Facepainter’s Dream.

Highly recommend for face painting. They were so helpful and able to send someone out for me last mins, really appreciated the help. Kids had a great time, even adults got involved. Thank you so much again. Will def use at our next kids party.

At our recently held family day Antonia & Francesca face painted over a 100 kids and the work was amazing and the kids absolutely loved it. These two wonderful ladies worked for almost 3 hours painting faces and their work is of the highest standard. I encourage you to book A Face Painting Dream and Face focus for your next event.

I recently hired Antonia for a kids birthday party and was impressed by her professional face painting work and her strict observance of current Covid -19 protocols and procedures. Not only was she completely professional in her work and personal presentation but she was also extremely kind and warm hearted towards the children. I would not hesitate in recommending Antonia to any person requiring a professional face painting service for children and/or adults.
