Reviews
Grade 4 Up-Beautiful, full-color photographs and great information about supplies make this an extremely inviting resource for youngsters, as well as for adults working with children. The makeup and almost 40 costumes are quite detailed, and the results are fantastic. The directions appear in small print under the photos. Young adults interested in how makeup can change one's appearance may be drawn to the face-painting sections and may wish to reproduce the intricate designs on friends or siblings. Costume makers will enjoy this collection tremendously. Graph-paper templates are included in the back of the book.
