4.0 out of 5 stars Makeup Artists need this book, October 21, 2002
By Mary Erickson (Coronado, CA United States) - See all my reviews
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 Good reference material., April 1, 2000
By "rob_at_forum" (Tokyo, Japan) - See all my reviews
Pretty thorough coverage of modern makeup. It doesn't call out the new Hollywood looks in particular, the underlying technique is all there.

2.0 out of 5 stars blah, February 11, 2009
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.
