We had illuminated faces for "Take Your Kid to Work Day," at our office and it was easily the highlight of the entire event!

Tommi and the Illuminated Faces team are incredible! Tommi’s artistry is truly unmatched, she creates next level art. She was completely effortless with the children and managed the imaginative (and demanding!) requests of a creative bunch of 5 year olds with total grace. It’s so clear that Tommi loves her craft.…

Gorgeous painting, and wonderful with our young (5yo) daughter
Amazing work!!!
We had Naomi from Illuminated Faces join us for our wedding reception, and she was absolutely wonderful! She was such a professional, incredibly talented, and did the most beautiful and fun face painting. We were so impressed by her work, and our guests had an absolute blast getting creative and showing off their face paint throughout the night. We honestly had so many more guests get their faces painted than we expected, and it ended up being such a fun and memorable addition to our reception. Naomi was fantastic with everyone and brought such a fun energy to the celebration. We received so many compliments from our guests about how much they loved having face painting, and we couldn't have asked for anyone better to be part of our wedding day. We highly recommend Naomi and the Illuminated Faces team!
10/10 total delight
You both were absolutely incredible. Not only because of your talent, but because of the positive energy, flexibility, and professionalism you brought from the very beginning. Throughout the booking process, communication was always so easy, responsive, and reassuring. Planning and hosting a birthday party can be stressful, but every interaction with you made me feel calmer and more excited. And todayy, you completely blew our minds!!! The balloon creations and face painting were beautiful, and the children absolutely loved them. Guests have been texting me ever since to tell me how wonderful and talented you are! What I appreciated most was the peace of mind you gave me. As a mom hosting a party, it was such a comfort knowing that you had everything under control. I never had to look back, organize, remind, or request anything. you simply took care of it all with such positivity and professionalism. It truly felt like you had my back throughout the event, and that allowed me to enjoy the celebration our guests.
We had a great time
