Product Description
This full-color and amply illustrated book is written for film, television, and theatre makeup artists who need to know the basics on how to accomplish flawless makeup applications. It begins with fundamental practices and continues through more complex techniques usually known only by Hollywood makeup artists. Written by two expert authors who have experience doing makeup for television, commmercials, and blockbuster films, readers will learn about beauty, time periods, black and white film, as well as cutting edge techniques such as air brusshing makeup for computer-generated movies, and makeup effects.
High definition (HD) technology has revolutionized the techniques needed by makeup artists--you need to know more, have more talent, and be more detailed than ever before. Because HD emphasizes every detail on screen, it's essential for makeup artists to know how to achieve a desired "look" that fits the director's requirements. This book will help professional and aspiring makeup artists to hone their craft in both conventional and HD techniques.
Gorgeous full color book shows how makeup artists make Hollywood stars look as good as they do, even in HD!
Get the inside track about how to work with the pros and all about set etiquette
Contains tips and techniques from a number of professional Hollywood makeup artists
Includes a full reference section with useful websites, business listings, and contacts

 The "GO TO" Reference book for the professional makeup artist May 8, 2008
This book belongs in every makeup artists' library. Detailed instructions, insights from respected professionals in the field. It's also very good for the beginning makeup artist offering the basic professional product tips and reference materials.
 Makeup Artist opinion April 20, 2008
I originally bought the book b/c i was excited about the fact that the authors were including a section on HD makeup. However, that section turned out to be fairly small & did not contain as much information as i would of hoped for. I was alxo a little confused by the color theory section as it did not match up with my own knowldege of this subject. All in all i think it is a good book & would be helpful to anyone with aspirations of becoming a makeup artist.
Highly recommended! March 14, 2008

This is, by far, the best book ever written on what one should know to be a professional makeup artist. Very detailed. Excellent coverage of the technical stuff, especially if you are interested in HDTV. Loved loved loved it!
