Fantasy Makeup by Becstar Anthony

I've reviewed Becs' book on my blog HERE

Just saw your blog. I love Becstar! I use to watch her on YT all the time when I first started. That sugar skull maybe the prettiest I have seen!

Thanks for the honest review, Shannon!

Oh i love her! she does amazing work!

I only just discovered BecStar on youtube, I love her work!

Bec is a super talented face painter. Her line work and designs are both amazing and unique. I have participated in her recent Australian workshops and admired her work on youtube, but am not sure about buying this particular booklet. I appreciate your honest review.

Nice review!

I too am a book person Shannon and I appreciate your review of this one. While I love her work and admire her skill, I will probably spend my money on something else - I cheapishly like to get a lot of "bang" for my buck.

I just received the book in the mail as well. I love her designs...as always. The book was a bit expensive but, I have already learned some new techniques and design ideas from her.
PLUS....she signed my book...and I absolutly adore Becster.

Good review.

Okay... I've just come up for air after two days of back-to-back jobs... and there is a sh*t storm going on... WTF???

I'm not going to get into it other that to state:

I stand by my review. It was not "bad" nor excessively critical and I think if people actually READ it... they would see I praised the talent and skill of Becstar repeatedly.

I've reviewed quite a few books and products... both on my blog - I also reviewed Extreme Face Painting and the Snaz 3 Minute Cheek Art books. And in print - you can see my reviews here on my resource pages.

I am fair, I am honest, and above all, it is my opinion. I point out the good and the not so good. If you are going to be putting something out there for the consumer, the consumer has a right to hear about the product in order to make up their mind.

People have differing opinions and they are welcome to them and to express them, as am I... I just don't have any problem expressing mine.

And I am receptive to rebuttal - as you can see from the comment on my blog from Becstar.

<--- to the drama

Indeed! What a storm it is. I thought your review was very well written, fair and honest. And if I was or wasn't inclined to buy the book before, the sheer unprofessional childish reaction to the review, coupled with the tantrum over someone else's honest and fair feedback about a workshop has made up my mind for me.
She is a very talented artist with star-quality skill, but there is more to being a person than that.

omg, Shannon.. I had no idea that it was your review that she was pissed over. WOW, that's all I can say. Your review was totally honest, and fair. You pointed out good things and bad things... I had no idea that it was you that she was mad at. just... WOW. Whole new opinion now.

Yeah... I know. I'm getting called names that I didn't know before.
