Wonderful!

We had Julie as the artist for our Very Hungry Caterpillar event at our Library. She painted the most beautiful butterflies and caterpillars. The children loved their designs. A delight to work with and great artistry. Highly recommend.

Amazing! As always!

This was my second time using silly cheeks for my children’s parties and my expectations were surpassed again!! Perla does the most amazing job, keeps the kids occupied and enagaged. Her face painting is detailed and quick. Everyone gets a turn and looks spectacular. She also does balloon animals and glitter tattoos. We love her and plan on using her for all our future parties. I recommend them to everyone as I haven’t seen a face painter better!

Amazing Experience!

Last year, at a friend's birthday party I was impressed at the talent of the make up artist from Silly Cheeks. I knew I needed to book them for my daughter's first birthday. Perla was our artist. She was prompt, set up in a timely manner and worked her magic! The kids had a blast with her and they looked awesome! Perla was extremely talented and patient with the excited kids. Some of the adults were so impressed with her work, they got in on the action too! I highly recommend using Silly Cheeks for your next function. I can't wait to have another party so I can use them again!

Perla and her artists are EXCELLENT

We've worked with Perla and her artists two years in a row. For our last party, just about every single child - including the boys! - got their face painted in some way. She has beautiful options for girls, and many for the boys - from small designs to full face. She was busy the entire two hours of our party, and got every child done that wanted something (and about 5 of the adults - including me - too!). I'm excited to have her again in June. Reasonable rates, and professional approach. Highly recommend.

Silly Cheeks Made My Daughter's Day!!

Thank You Silly Cheeks for making my daughter's second birthday so special. Perla was wonderful with all the children at the party from ages 2 - 10. Our guests raved about how talented she was. Perla made my 2 year old daughter and 20 month old niece feel so comfortable that even they had their faces painted. The Balloon Twisting was amazing it made my daughter's face light up when she saw the Elmo Perla made for her. i would definitely recommend Silly Cheeks for your event.

About the creators of Silly Cheeks:

~✿ Perla ✿~
Perla is a passionate and talented visionary who loves to draw, paint, sculpt, sew, fold origami, and create beauty with makeup. I know that’s a lot of arts and crafts! But being artistic was in her DNA. Both of her parents were exquisite seamstresses that ran their own boutique for custom designs. Perla was always intrigued by the different colors and patterns of fabrics and the beautiful pieces of garments that became of them. In college she attended various art courses and still continues to dedicate her time to learn and experiment with unique and cool designs. It was not until she became a mother that she discovered the joy of painting on a canvas that would smile back at you. It was her daughter that inspired her when she excitedly said: “Mommy I want to be Hello Kitty for Halloween” Perla being the artistic mommy bought face painting and made her into an adorable Kitty. From then on she started painting her children’s faces (and hubby’s too) on a daily basis. Face painting has now become such a huge part of her that she literally dreams in colors. It has allowed her to take her creativity to the next level while fulfilling every child’s imagination.

~✿ Stacy ✿~
Stacy has been a lover of the arts before she was even potty trained. As a little girl, she would doodle on the walls of her family home and get herself into plenty of trouble. When she started school, art class was always her favorite class, whether it was coloring with crayolas, drawing little animals or sharing her artwork for the school yearbook. Her passion for the arts and photography came naturally, however, she doubted she could make a career out of it and didn’t want to become a part of the starving artists club. She went on to obtain a Masters Degree in Public Health and established a career as a public health educator while keeping her love for the arts as a hobby on the side. When she became a mother, she took leave from her career and had more time to dedicate her love for the arts. She loved being a mommy and wanted to work with children and thats how face painting came in the picture. She started taking face painting classes and started painting on her family, friends and everyone she knew. She has been face painting ever since and loves every part of it, but the biggest reward is when she sees those big smiles on the little kids faces when they see their faces being transformed by her artwork. Art is not only a painting hanging on a wall in a gallery, but alive and a wonder for all to enjoy like in face painting.
