4.0 out of 5 stars
Useful introduction to theatrical makeup,
By A Customer
This review is from: Stage Makeup (Paperback)
While derivitive of Richard Corson's highly respected work of the same name, Herman Buchman's Stage Makeup is worth owning. Buchman's techniques--ham-handed as they are--make clear a number of procedures.
Sadly, the materials Buchman demonstrates are outdated: does anyone still use greasepaint anymore? Still, modern materials (and a far lighter touch!) will produce excellent results.
A good choice for a high school makeup class, given its excellent step-by-step photos and reasonable price

4.0 out of 5 stars
A clear, concise how-to for theatrical makeup techniques,
By A Customer
This review is from: Stage Makeup (Paperback)
This book covers all the basics: facial structure, blending techniques, aging makeup, special effects, beards, prosthetics, and what you should have in your makeup kit to do it right. Each technique is laid out with step-by-step illustrations and photos; while Mr. Buchman is obviously used to big-stage work, with a lighter hand his methods also work in small theaters. The intro section on basic makeup techniques alone is worth its weight in gold (how many of us really know the right way to powder down?). Highly recommended
