A 16-year-old Wirral face painter has been awarded for her entrepreneurial spirit.

Eva Easdown from Wallasey impressed judges with her face painting business, Facepaint Fever which scooped her the 2024 Young Person in Business Award.

She was awarded at the annual Sparkle Award on Sunday, November 24 at the Hilton Hotel in Liverpool.

Eva’s face painting journey started by volunteering her time for local charity, Stick ‘n’ Step, at their annual Christmas Party and her love of face painting grew from there.

Eva said: "I’m absolutely thrilled to have won this award! ]

"It means so much to be recognised for my hard work and passion, and I hope it inspires other young people to chase their dreams and never give up on their goals."

Eva, who has been steadily growing her entrepreneurial venture while balancing her studies, plans to use the award as a stepping stone to achieve more in the future.
