From special effects to High Definition: A full color, step-by-step guide for the aspiring or professional film/TV makeup artist.  Get the inside track about how to work with the pros, set etiquette, and other important fundamental practices. 

Readers will learn about beauty, time periods, black and white film, as well as cutting edge techniques such as air brushing makeup, special makeup effects, and more complex techniques usually known only by Hollywood makeup artists.

High definition (HD) technology has revolutionized the makeup techniques.  Makeup artists will need to have a more technical approach in their makeup application, and have a trained eye for details more than ever before.  Because HD emphasizes every detail on screen, it's essential for makeup artists to know how to achieve a desired look that fits the director's requirements and reads correctly in this medium.

This book will help professional and aspiring makeup artists to hone their craft in both conventional and HD techniques, and contains tips and techniques from a number of professional Hollywood makeup artists. Also includes a full reference section with useful websites, business listings, and contacts.
