Decorate Yourself - Andrich
Decorate Yourself: Cool Designs for Temporary Tattoos, Face Painting, Henna & More. Explores ways to decorate your body, face, and nails, offering tips on temporary tattoos, face painting, designer nail polishing, and even using henna.
All the techniques from face painting to henna tattooing are described in detail and accompanied by color photos illustrating the before, during, and after of the process. Safety tips, equipment lists, and patterns for hundreds of designs are included.
For each type of activity, equipment and suggestions for getting started are discussed. Individual face painting designs show several stages of the applications. The sections on airbrush tattoos (including two pages of stencil patterns), henna patterns, and nail decorations are likely to have real teen appeal.
While most of the directions are easy to follow, airbrush tattoos require more sophisticated equipment including a compressor. Striking color photos, some full page, appear throughout the book.
Full size, 96-page, photo paperback.

Transformations - Agostino
Christopher Agostino paints faces at events with a desire to present this entertainment as an art in every setting, at every gig.
That has led to a thirty year creative adventure in the art of facepainting. In private and public events — including 13 years at the world-famous Bronx Zoo — he and his Transformation! company have painted tens of thousands of adults and children, setting a standard within the New York entertainment industry and transforming the idea of what a painted face can be.
Facepainting is a profound art that reaches back to the very origins of human culture. Drawing inspiration from cultural sources, Christopher developed a distinctive mask-like style with bold designs that capture the essential quality of traditional body art.
The story behind those faces and the methods employed to generate such creativity make a valuable read for any artist. Here are the tools for designing new faces, for developing a personal style and for painting creatively each time you paint.
More than a how-to, this book is the distilled vision of an artist exploring all that is possible when you paint a face. This is the art of transformation.
Transformations! is a fascinating book with extensive text about the functions and art of masks and makeup in other cultures along with Christopher’s story of bringing this unconventional art to the public at modern events.
It is uniquely illustrated with hundreds of photographs of everyday New Yorkers painted at real events, often in exotic face designs from somewhere around the world.
It is intended as a resource for makeup, theater and visual artists, and will also be of interest to the general public, particularly in the New York area.
