Makeup Books

I received an excellent book in the mail today. Have just started to look through it. It's called "The Complete Make-Up Artist: Working in Film, Fashion, Television and Theatre" by Penny Delamar.

Amazon.com: The Complete Make-Up Artist : Working in Film, Television, and Theatre: Penny Delamar: Books

I LOVE this book.
It's a must read. And re-read.

It touches on a little bit of everything from anatomy to beauty makeup to fake hair & stage makeup to things to have in your kit.

Ciara has mentioned Makeup Designory's textbooks and I have to second her. I just got the one for beauty makeup and it explained a lot more about undertones than any other book out there, stuff that would normally take months to learn. I'm still reading it, but so far, it's an excellent book.

yup. It has no pictures in it, only drawn images, I've noticed for myself that I learn more from books like that. You'll still have to do some investigation on your own, but it definately helps with undertones, basic color theory, blush application and is quite detailed on different eye shapes.

off thread: also get their brushes, they're good.
