ISBN: 9781591744306
Publication Date: 1 August 2007

The best face painting book ever just got better. Meet the new Face Painting, completely refreshed, revised, and revitalized for a new generation.

Comes with a six-color palette of face paints, a brush, a sponge, and 12 tear-out take-along design cards.
