Dick Smith's doityourself monster makeup handbook,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
I wrote this book originally in 1965 to show young people how to have fun doing simple monster makeups. It was published as a 60s magazine and was sold for many years as a back issue. Ive been a professional makeup artist now for forty years but I still remember the thrill I had making myself up as monsters when I was a teenager. What I wanted to do with this book was to provide young amateurs with the information they need to understand and enjoy this art. The book begins with very simple makeups and ends with some complicated ones. All are explained and illustrated in detail and most of the monsters are ones which I invented for this book. The various makeups are designed to illustrate the greatest variety of methods and materials. The knowledge you gain from each will enable you to create many makeups of your own. All of the examples are monsters because they are the most popular, but many of the techniques may be used for character makeups as well. Ive brought the text completely up to date in materials and techniques. I hope that this revised edition will introduce many more to the magic of makeup. (from the Preface)
