The Ultimate Face Painting Book in Many Ways

2006-10-31
This book has been around a while now. It still looks as new, vibrant and current as the first copy I was given as a gift over 10 years ago. I think it has been that long or longer probably. The point is that this book brought my family together. My dad is a pretty good artist or at least better than the average person. He will never admit that but this book put him to the test. My mom tried painting faces at one of my first birthday parties that I was old enough to remember. She grabbed this book, set up in my bedroom, she sat in a kiddies chair and let the kids come on up one at a time! Let's just say she was not as gifted an artist as she was hoping she may be. I remember my dad looking on and he suggested something with a certain brush stroke or color or whatever. The next thing you know he is sitting down in that tiny kid's chair hunched over painting faces of little kids and the line was line was backing out to the living room. He let the kids look through the book and pick out faces they wanted. I am certain it was a challenge for him. But I must honestly say that this book gave him the tools he needed to rise for the occasion. Needless to say the whole experience was a success on all levels. It was my dad who bought this book. He likes books. This book caught his eye. I remember him telling me how well designed and conceived and executed it was. He purchased it on speculation as a reference as he does with most books. He always says that you never know when you just may need it. Well, this book has a special place in my bookcase next to My Little Golden Books, The Wizard of Oz and some other books for my childhood. You never stop learning from the best. Oh yes this book is quite different from those, but you can still take it out return or learn a thing or two you may have missed. And this book is one of the best. Practically speaking, this book has everything you need to put a smile on a kid's face. If you think you can't paint or put a smile on that that little kid you should take a look at this book. Oh yes, my mom finally learned that she too could paint with a little help from this book As for me, my turn to pick up that brush will come some day. Many thanks are in order.

Great Gift

I gave this kit as a gift, and it was a huge hit. My cousin said her two little girls were zebras all weekend. Lots of fun for the money.

Face Painting

This book is an excellent take-a-long for any face painter professionally but is also fantastic for the beginner. It not only comes with face paints but the pictures are basic enough for any birthday party or event. The spiral binding lets it lay flat so you can look at the picture as you draw it on the face. Excellent!

Excellent product, great for parties.

I bought this product for my son's 5th birthday party. I've never painted faces before, but by the end of the day I felt like a pro! The directions are easy to follow and the paints are excellent quality. I was worried that there wouldn't be enough paint for everyone, but I painted at least 20 full faces easily with plenty of paint left over. This is truly a great product and I would recommend it to anyone.

Truly anyone can make great face art

I first saw this product at a local kids fair and assumed the person doing the face painting was a decent artist because the designs were so intricate. I wrote down the name of the book since my kids were so thrilled with their faces at the fair. The art fairy didn't come to my birth when my talents were being assigned (think stick people), so I assumed I wouldn't be able to get quite the same kind of results. My daughter opted to use some of her birthday money to get this book and it's really fantastic. I was easily able to follow the directions to make very impressive face art on my daughters. My only suggestion is to buy additional face paint. The book provides a reasonable amount, but my kids did so much face and body art that we'll need more soon.

Fun and easy ideas

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.

Fantastic for parents or bigger kids who want to paint faces!

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)
