For a couple of years now, my daughter and I have been struggling through some bottles of cheap face paint. I had told her we'd get a better one when we used the paint up, but finally I realized how much she loves face paint, and how much more enjoyable it would be if we had a quality product to work with. I was planning to just get a set of face paints, but then I saw the Klutz Kit, and thought I'd try it. I'm so glad I did. The book is full of techniques and ideas for designs. I feel like it's really stepped up our face painting ability from day one. My husband, six-year old, and I have all used the book and face paint to create images that -- while not at the professional level -- are still much better than I thought would have been possible.
