I ordered this to give face painting a try as we have many grandkids and more coming!  We'll be attending plenty of birthday parties in the future and I think this might be a good skill to have.  The kit is great.  Covers all the basics with a couple more complex designs.  The paints are of high quality and even our grandgirl with sensitive skin didn't have any reaction.  The explanations and drawings are easy to replicate.  A great purchase.
