Excellent book! A must have for any actor, aspiring makeup artist or anyone who is just interested in makeup.

Needs more color plates

Overall, this is a very strong text with a lot of detail. Most of the photographs in the book are in black and white. There are a few at the end of the book in color. I would have like for all of the photographs to be in color.

Lots of helpful info, lack coloured photos...

This book is filled with helpful information. I only wish there were more helpful coloured photos in it.

Fabulous info, but needs to be a bit more comprehensive

There is no doubt that this book covers all the foundation aspects of the make up needs of the stage performer as well as film basics. A tremendous amount can be garnered and there are some absolutely fabulous techniques discussed especially for character make up. However, I feel that the way the book is organized, as well as how it clumps what colour fotos it has in the back, prevent it from being a truly comprehensive step by step learning text. When showing how a particular artists is doing something, such as the ballerina, it is wise to talk about WHY they are doing something as well. There is a logical reason for it. For the money paid with this text, and its titling as the bible, I think that these few matters can be easily rectified.
