Lyudmyla Kotova

I am Lyudmyla Kotova, originally from the Ukraine, but living in Italy now for many years. I love face painting and children, and i take my time to create the best, detailed face paints.

I have been teaching in Italy, the UK, the Netherlands and many other countries.

In collaboration with PXP professional colours i created my own splitcakes and various brushes. I created the novelty of 'double' splitcakes, 2 splitcakes in one container, using the top lines for one design and the bottom lines for another design.

The best moment is when the children look in the mirror!
