The Usbourne Book of Face Painting- By: Mrs Sally Barden, 31 Jul 2002 This is a great book, full of good pictures & very helpful tips on how to get the best out of your paints,sponges & brushes! I happily recommend it!Ideal for the beginner and good ideas for the experts!!- By: , 18 Jun 2001 This Little book is ideal for the both the novice & the expert face painter. It contains some nice simple step by step instructions to create some excellent faces. Its only drawback is it's size, although small enough to fit into a little bag without any problems, it does seem a little bit too small to impress the kids when choosing a design for themselves. I suppose it would depend on what you wanted to acheive with this book. Personally I preferred "The Usbourne Book of FACE PAINTING" By C Caudron & C Childs. This book contained all the same faces & directions plus many more ideas, & was on a larger scale (Ideal to pass around the kids for them to choose a face from) It wasn't much more expensive either!!
