5.0 out of 5 stars I was reluctant to pay for this....SO GLAD I DID!! June 19, 2009

After getting looped into doing face painting for a second grade class end-of-the-year party, I was scrambling for ideas. I had NEVER done this before and am not particularly artistic. I had only a day to learn how to face paint! I picked-up this book and got to work. Within the first few strokes, I was easily painting the designs shown in the book because step-by-step photos with instructions made it THAT EASY! I practiced on my arm, then on my kids. The next day, I brought this book with me. The spiral binding makes it so easy to lay-flat and reference.

The best part at the event was the tear-out design cards that come in the book! The perforated cards neatly remove from the book. Each card has a design on the front. I laid the cards out and the children waiting in line could look through them to pick the design they wanted. When they got to the front of the line, they handed me the card and right on the back of the design card is the step-by-step photos of how to do it! So convenient for a first-timer-in-a-crunch like me! And the children loved it! By the end of the afternoon, I was on my way to making my own designs by request as well as the favorites from the book. I couldn't have done it without this book.

A note on quality: When I purchased the Klutz book and paints, I also purchased another book, a kit by another brand, some other brushes, and some face painting crayons. I determined in my first attempts that the Klutz book and paints far surpassed the others in quality and delight to use! The crayons and other paints I had bought were waxy, did not layer or blend, and the book wasn't of much use at all. I was painting on children of many different skin colors, and only this kit showed such brilliant and bright color even on the darkest African skin to the fairest of white children. I wish I had ONLY purchased this Klutz book, it was worth every penny!

The success and fun of the face painting at the party was made possible because of this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic for parents or bigger kids who want to paint faces! November 14, 2007

By L. Hoffman

Format:Spiral-bound|Amazon Verified Purchase

Excellent, easy ideas for face painting at a party. The book includes great tips and step by step instructions. It even includes 12 punch out cards, each with its own instruction, that you can allow kids to choose a design from - and the book has an envelope to store the cards! The paint is by Wolfe Brothers - a professional quality face paint manufacturer. Probably not the right book for a professional face painter, but it is full of kid pleasing manageable designs for us non-artist parents or even school aged kids! As usual with Klutz books, I couldn't be happier!! (This review is for the 2007 edition)

I purchased this item for my 5y/o daughter, we have lots of fun recreating the ideas on this book. The face paints included are great, the colors are bright, dry fast and wash very easily with water.
