Editorial Reviews

VOYA
Excellent organization, beautiful photos, clear instructions, and concise presentation all are qualities that make this series a wonderful addition to any library. PRO Makeup provides an organized, attractive overview of makeup application techniques from everyday to costume. The text is enhanced throughout by useful highlights offering tips from professionals on everything from achieving the perfect eyebrow arch to taking the attention away from a wide nose. Bridal and costume party makeup are covered as well. The chapter on costume party makeup even provides instructions on creating faces from different periods. It is more than a how-to manual for applying makeup. There is a section on developing looks, dealing with skin conditions, choosing equipment, and even applying makeup to men and children. The comprehensiveness and presentation of the books in this series set them apart from other attractive books on cosmetic techniques. The information is presented in a way that allows even the novice to recreate the looks. Both books contain a list of suppliers at the end; however, only Web sites are listed. Each title also offers a short section offering advice from a professional on developing a career in the field. The books have a covered spiral binding, so they will stay open easily if someone needs to refer to them while trying out some of the techniques. Both would be valuable additions to any library's career section. This series is recommended for public library collections, and would be appropriate for adults as well as teens interested in the beauty business. Reviewer: Victoria Vogel

Preface

Introduction


I have been a makeup artist for over 10 years. During this time I have worked on every combination of face shape, skin tone, and age of woman possible. It still surprises me how unconfident the majority of women feel about choosing and applying their own makeup. Makeup is not only exciting and creative, but it also has an amazingly empowering quality. It is not difficult or time-consuming to apply natural, daytime or evening makeup when you know how to do it properly. It is right to feel frustrated that you wear the same shade of lipstick day and night, whether you're shopping for groceries or going to a party. Now is the time to update your makeup techniques, give your makeup bag an overhaul, start looking at new colors, and invest in decent brushes.


Makeup can make you look and feel better. Its purpose is to enhance your face and features, not disguise them. Makeup, when applied well, blends flawlessly into the skin tone. There are no hard edges, and all the features are balanced. All the individual elements -- eyes, lips, and cheeks -- work with each other. Badly applied makeup sits on the surface of the skin, looks patchy, and is aging. The key to achieving success is learning how to apply makeup properly, starting with the basics such as selecting and applying foundation, using concealer, and contouring. Once you've mastered the basics, you can achieve whatever look you desire, because you'll have the confidence to start experimenting.


About This Book


As a professional you must have the skills to apply makeup to anyone and everyone. As an individual, you just need the knowledge and skills to apply makeup to the oneface you know the best -- your own. Through teaching and observing women doing their own makeup, I know the common pitfalls and mistakes that women encounter, and I will teach you how to avoid them, using clear step-by-step instructions and pictures of real women.


This book will help you develop a makeup routine that can be easily adapted to whatever time you have available, whether it is 10 minutes in the morning or 30 minutes before a party or big event. By breaking your routine down into separate elements such as base, blush, mascara, and eye looks, you should be able to pick and choose elements to fit the time available. The more you practice, the quicker you will get. The skills required and the basic steps followed for applying natural eye makeup and a dramatic smoky eye, for example, are the same. Sometimes even the same colors are used, but the intensity of color may be different. The key to success is mastering the basic techniques and becoming competent at a few key makeup looks that work for you.


If you are planning to do your own makeup on your wedding day, in the bridal section (see page 182) you will find looks to suit all skin tones and ages, as well as tips and advice on how to do makeup that will look great from a distance. This is how many of your guests and initially the groom will see you, so your makeup must work in photographs without being too much when the guests and groom are close by.


Also covered in this book are tips and suggested looks for doing makeup on others such as children's face painting and costume parties, and advice on taking makeup further as a career or hobby.
