The Makeup Artist Handbook Techniques for Film Television Photography and Theatre Gretchen Davis Mindy Hall 8601404381713 Books Reviews

• This is a great book for makeup artists, whether you have been doing it for a while or are just starting out. I think this has something to offer everyone.
• granddaughter is in a drama program and the tips for theatrical makeup are very helpful
• A+++
• Wow... Very comprehensive. It's a textbook! I'm learning a lot.
• Love It
• ok
• The book is great but there are 3 editions released to add very minimal info. If you have first or 2nd edition it's likely all you need. Just my opinion.
• As a professional makeup artist working in film and theater for the last 20 years, I am always looking for good makeup books that teach new techniques and working with new products. This is not that book. As the title suggests, this is only a handbook for those who already know how to apply makeup. It touches on many topics, but does not do much teaching at all. It could be used as a reference to remind a makeup artist what steps are involved in an application technique, but there is very little in depth description of how or why to do each step.
  
  While it does talk about HD, airbrush makeup, Tinsley Transfers, and silicone prosthetics, there is very little useful information for anyone who has not already used these products. Much of the information from these chapters can even be found online (in more detail) through a simple web search (including two articles reprinted directly from the free webzine airbrushtalk.com).
  
  As a reference book, this book deserves 3 stars for compiling a lot of useful information into one place.
  
  As an instruction book, I would give this book 0-1 Stars. If you are looking to learn the techniques of the makeup artist, you best choice is still Richard Corson's Stage Makeup (9th Edition)
