This book was very helpful. All I had to do was buy this book. Definitely recommend it. I bought this book because it was required in my theatrical makeup class. Turns out I diodn't really need the class. It shows you how to make certain parts of your gace appear thinner or larger.
I think it was great and I've read and reread it many times. They break stuff down really simply into lots of step by step projects.
This is the book you want when you're ready to get serious. I do wish there was more info about the business and work part of being a pro, but the makeup is covered and explained nicely.When you're done, you'll have everything you need to begin step one in your makeup artist career.
It touches on many areas of makeup and has some great profiles of professional makeup artists. It's The Makeup Artist Handbook: Techniques for Film, Television, Photography, and Theatre.
This was the first makeup book I ever bought. This is the perfect book if you don't know anything about makeup and would like to learn.
Honestly, I just finished a great book that is the one you want if you are ready to begin or add to a professional career in makeup.
moulding and wigmaking sections were great)or for a person who has not studied at all. 3/5 for me. I would recommend this book for someone that is just starting out in their career to keep as a refresher (i.e. The book is VERY basic on most other levels however does give a good insight into the who's who on set which most other books lack.
The book is a good reference for anyone beginning a career, but would probably be to general for an accomplished, working artist. These were things that were not touched on in cosmetology school. The book covers the basic principals of makeup, both staight and character makeup. I especially liked the activities (hands-on practice) that accompanied the chapters. The book also contains student profiles, examples of their work and how they got started.
It came earlier then expected w/free shipping. The service from Amazon was great. Now I know why Amazon is the only way to buy.
