4.0 out of 5 stars Snazaroo Zoo: A Great Book for Great Costumes, March 12, 2000

This review is from: Snazaroo Zoo: Great Faces and Easy Costumes to Bring Out the Animal in You (Paperback)

As an amateur makeup artist and face painter, I'm always on the lookout for books with new and creative ideas for characters. This is especially true of animals. The stock characters of cat, mouse and rabbit can become rather worn out over time. The book "Snazaroo Zoo" fulfills this need for new ideas. Sponsored by the Snazaroo face paint company, this book contains detailed, step-by-step face painting instructions for 18 different animals. This includes the standard mammals, but adds such creatures as a turtle, an owl, a vampire bat and even a stegosaurus! In addition to the face paint hints, "Snazaroo Zoo" also contains costume instructions for each animal, as well as general information regarding transfering basic patterns and sewing. This large, well-photographed book would be a welcome addition to the library of face painters and parents alike.

Before purchasing this book, ask yourself what you're looking for: Are you looking for a face painting book with different faces and step-by-step guide, or do you just need ideas for halloween or a costume party? If its the latter, then this book is for you. It shows great detail in creating the costumes and matching the faces to go with it. This book may also be a good tool for face painters that are looking for painting ideas, getting familiar with simple designs & which basic colors to use to start painting faces. Do not make the same mistake I did because I bought this book looking for something more. Maybe you can call this a warning not a review. I just want to be helpful to those people looking for better quality face designs without so much attention to the costumes. I can find these faces online and not have to pay for it. Search cat, dalmatian, lion, tiger, panda and you'll find better ones.
