Reviews"I had the privilege of seeing this book prior to publication as well as in the finished form. As a Make-up Artist in the film and television industry for over 30 years, I am so pleased that this is now available as an excellent resource for any artist's education and practical work. This is a much needed work within the make-up field and will help artists raise their game. The concepts are clearly explained and illustrated with ample visual images. The application of color theory to all forms of make-up artistry is made simple, even fun, and will ignite the enthusiasm of the reader to see their craft in a whole new way... and want to start applying it immediately!" -Stan Edmonds, Department Head of Make-Up Design for Film and Television at Vancouver Film School (IATSE 891)

Color understanding is essential to made up skin presentations
It's very hard to get the quality of color in any book of make-up. This book does admirably with colors in the print edition. I've been reading about colors for a long time and this book adds to my understanding of color. I especially liked the discussion about the importance of lighting to get true colors in the skin. It was helpful to me. I actually plan to read the book several more times to make sure I didn't miss anything and to get the discussions in the book more fixed into my mind.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
