4.0 out of 5 stars Makeup Artists need this book, October 21, 2002

Mary Erickson "Makeup Artist" (Coronado, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Art & Science of Professional Makeup (Hardcover)

This is a great book for makeup artists, probably not great for the makeup junkie consumer. I learned more in this book then I have in all of the makeup classes I have taken over the years. It is a study book more then a read for fun book, every artist needs to read it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!, May 25, 2009

MUA "Ruby" - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Art & Science of Professional Makeup (Hardcover)

This book is a great book to understanding makeup artistry! It goes over every aspect of being a professional in the beauty and makeup industry. It does go into some scientific detail but explains the need for the information in a practical way. A very helpful book and highly recommended.

2.0 out of 5 stars blah, February 11, 2009

Elissa K. Bordner-Babayigit "alohastyle.org" (Atlanta, Ga USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Art & Science of Professional Makeup (Hardcover)

This book is very technical, and many of the techniques are old - from the 80's and 90's. I recommend Laura Mercier's book instead.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what I wanted!
Great addition to my classroom! The book was exactly as described and the shipping and arrival was fast! Thank you!

Published 26 days ago by Kerry

4.0 out of 5 stars Good reference material.
Pretty thorough coverage of modern makeup. It doesn't call out the new Hollywood looks in particular, the underlying technique is all there.
