Great starting point

Generally speaking, ALL Usborne books are great. This one is no exception. It is a great book to give you some great techniques. You learn step by step different kinds of faces and then you can use those ideas to create your own way of doing it. The publishers do not waste space giving you every possible example of a vampire or dog or whatever. You learn what you need quick & easy and then you make your own ideas work. If you do not know how or have been out of practice (like me) or looking for some new ideas, this is a great book.

Great Face Painting Tips

I bought this book for my son's 1st birthday party. Wow! I couldn't get over what a hit face painting was for the kids. Luckily this book had so many good tips, and pictures the kids could choose from. My niece was the artist that followed the book and she did very well with it, mind you she isn't a professional. She found the book very good to follow.

Lots of fun!

We let the kids flip through this book and choose which design they wanted on their face. They had a great time and were also able to understand that with patience the end product would look (at least somewhat) like the picture in the book. They had a great time.

The Usborne Book of Face Painting

My Girl Scouts ages 8-12 had an awesome time practicing the face painting for the haunted house on Oct. 27 & 28 at the VFW Post 10211 in Key Largo, FLA. Thank you so much for offering such a book as the girls has no idea how to face paint and now they are prepared for almost anything!!! Cudos to you !!!!!! We wuld highly reccommend this face painting book to anyone young OR old that needs hints/help in the how-to's of face painting!!

Simply the best!

For ten years, I've been painting faces for carnivals, parties, Halloween - you name it - this book can take rank beginners and allow them to paint very professional looking faces. The instructions are easy to follow, and elaborate on multiple techniques, including sponging and using different brush tips to achieve different effects. I highly recommend it - a word of caution- use only high quality face paints as they cover and blend better than the cheapos! Enjoy!
