2.0 out of 5 stars More Costumes Than Faces, November 23, 2002

This review is from: Fun with Face Painting (Fun with Series) (Spiral-bound)

While this book displays some wonderful ideas for face painting, the focus seems to be more on the costumes and props that go along with the concept. I do face painting for large groups of disadvantaged children (at homeless shelters, special events, etc.). Therefore, I have only a brief amount of time to paint each child's face. I usually show the children the book and have them pick out what they'd like to be. But they would be very disappointed in the final result if it doesn't look like the wonderful images in the book, which are enhanced by the costumes. Many of the pages in this book are only devoted to creating the costumes (often without any face painting even involved). So it doesn't suit my purposes.
