Review! Fast Fun Faces by Illusion
March 15, 2010
Yes, it’s time for another product review.
One of my pet peeves about face painting books is not having step by step PHOTOS (you know who you are).
Fast Fun Faces delivers the actual step photos and some other goodies.
Here is the Dreamy Dolphins design that I adapted to my style:
Pros:
- Lists Products and Colors used
- Easy Designs
- LOTS of designs (29)
- Mostly children as models
Cons:
- The wording on some steps is fuzzy
- Several of the faces add a full base when it is unnecessary
- I’m not a huge fan of the style of some of the paintings
Smashing designs I haven’t seen elsewhere:
- Noble Knight – totally worth the price of the book
- Totally Tiger – cute cute cute version of a half tiger
- Witch’s Web – I like the details and color of this one
Overall:
I like this book. It was easy to use as a beginner since the designs are simple and I really like that they told us what colors they used (all Kryolan though).
Oh! Here are the colors I used in my take:
- Wolfe Metallic White
- Snaz Pastel Blue, Sky Blue, and Electric Blue
- Wolfe Dark blue (for the dolphin bodies)
- Wolfe White
- Liquid Bling in Silver
- Paradise Black
- You’re Welcome :P
You can find this book at Silly Farm for about $15.

:D It’s a cute one. I can’t do a design w/o teardrops though so I added a few (er, I mean lots).

I’m always on the lookout for a good book, with some fresh new ideas…..might have to give this one a go! I have some books that I LOVE and others, well I should put them up for sale on Metina’s Face Paint Forum Swap Shop.
