From the publisher:

This full-color and amply illustrated book is written for film, television, and theatre make-up artists who need to know the basics on how to accomplish flawless make-up applications. It begins with fundamental practices and continues through more complex techniques usually known only by Hollywood make-up artists. Written by two expert authors who have experience doing make-up for television, commmercials, and blockbuster films, readers will learn about beauty, time periods, black and white film, as well as cutting edge techniques such as air brushing make-up for computer-generated movies, and make-up effects.

High definition (HD) technology has revolutionized the techniques needed by make-up artists--you need to know more, have more talent, and be more detailed than ever before. Because HD emphasizes every detail on screen, it's essential for make-up artists to know how to achieve a desired "look" that fits the director's requirements. This book will help professional and aspiring make-up artists hone their craft in both conventional and HD techniques.
