Face Painting from Klutz Press
Book review of Klutz Press’ Face Painting book – a very good introduction to the skill of face painting, complete with a simple kit
A basic, but well-done, book on face painting. It serves as a very good introduction to the topic, with excellent advice, and lots of useful colorful photographs. It includes over 83 examples of face painting, both small designs (cheek & hand art) and full-face designs. As normal with the Klutz series, it’s well-written, well-illustrated, and very useful. It includes one set of nontoxic, water-based Kryolan face paints and brush.
If you’re just wanting to get your “feet wet”, it’s an excellent introduction. However, if you are thinking of doing this professionally as part of your clowning, entertainment or ministry, you might want to take a look at Usborne’s book of face painting book instead.
I rate it 4 clowns 
on a 5-clown scale.
