I was looking for ideas and how tos on more extreme looks. This book covers simple to extreme. Didnt realize that it came with a DVD which shows you how to create 3 looks. I love how the Wolfe brothers make it look so simple. Actually with continued practice it is.I was also impressed how most all of the looks were created with just 2 tools sponge and #3 round brush. I am excited and have been practicing every since. Quick shipping from was awesome as always.If you are starting out or if you are looking to paint more than butterflies and teardrops. pick up this book.Lets Go Yall!!!!!trade;0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

Great starter Halloweeen Makeup bookBy Sherry H.Great basic makeup book for basic Halloween makeup. This is nice to have if you have very little or basic skills in applying makeup and you want a few more tools to add to your arsenal. Some really great face designs. especially the galaxy face and the green skull. Overall. a nice basic book with some good basic face painting suggestions.
