Customer Reviews

For profesionals
This book is everything the other review says and also has an indepth section on special FX makeup. It explains all the processes from taking face casts to casting the sculpted prosthetic in a veriety of industry used materials. Although this book is in black and white, it does have diagrams and photos to support the written information, and the aurther's style of writing is pritty interesting too. Well worth a perchace if you're a profesional, if your looking for ideas for personal makeup styles then this isn't the one for you.
