Summary: Not an artist? Doesn't matter!
Review: A terrific introduction with reassurance for the uninitiated throughout and superb supplies.If you are reading this then you have at least as much artistic talent as I do, and probably more. In spite of not being able to pass stick figures in kindergarten I bought this book hoping to learn to create a reasonable painted face while having something fun to do on rainy days with my 5 year old daughter. IT WORKED! We have a blast with this and I have now painted her friends, my sister, my daughter's classmates and teachers all with great results. If you are looking to become a professional make up artist, perhaps this is not the book for you. But if you are looking to be a hero to someone you know ages 2 to 102 this book is the ticket. Note: the terrific kryolan face paints can be purchased separately from several web sites or perhaps even a local theater supply store if you are in a decent sized town/city... (...)

Summary: Love the book/paints, need more paints-where to get them?
Review: Excellent Book and Paints.My community has many fundraisers where face painting is a huge draw. Being a local artist, I am often called to paint faces, and armed with these paints and book ideas, I can't go wrong. Problem is-I have 3 books now, & I've used up the paints, and don't know were to get more.

Summary: ...And now I am a Professional Face Painter!!
Review: I bought this set about 10 years ago as I was asked to do some face painting at an MDA fund raiser. I absolutely loved it! I have always been interested in face painting and when I began doing the faces in this book, I became even more interested. The instructions were so simple, they make a beginner look like a pro! They encourage creativity in each design, so I began to elaborate on their ideas and started to get better and better. Eventually I began to do birthday parties and the such and now, believe it or not, I charge $75 to $100 an HOUR for my face painting!! I am a PROFESSIONAL FACE PAINTER and I swear I have this book to thank for it. Granted, my paintings are now comparable to the Broadway show "Cats." But I still have my book and my original pallette of paint that came with it, although the book is now being held together with some string and twist-ties! Thank you, Klutz!! (p.s. I have NEVER had ANY trouble washing these paints off.) (...)

Summary: childish, but OK
Review: If you are serious about learning about face painting and making effects, this book IS NOT FOR YOU. I found it to be childish . There isn't as many ideas either. The pictures in the book looked to be slopply done. But I do like the paints. Goes on easy and cleans up easy.

Summary: Mother's Favorite!
Review: My nine year old daughter has spent hours creating both the faces shown in the book, plus her own creative masterpieces. We got the book with paints for her a couple of years ago and she has never tired of it! Her friends enjoy the face painting activity for playdates and I never have to worry that it won't wash off of their faces or clothes, and no one has shown any allergic reaction either. We plan on buying more of these fantastic paints for her soon. What a wonderful gift to encourage a child's imagination!

Summary: Great fun, great paints
Review: When my daughter (age 4) received this book as a gift I was ready to strangle the family who gave it to her - because I was sure it would be a mess, stain making nightmare. Much to my surprise, this book soon became the hit of the family. We all use it and even take it on vacation with us. Just this summer we spent one long rainy day face painting all of the nieces and nephews - it helped keep everyone from going stir-crazy. we also set up "face painting table" at our big family reunion and created many masterpieces that day! The paints go one easy, with great instructions, and come off with just water. It's great! My kids and I both love it. AND now we give this book as our gift of choice!
