The Actor's Complete Step-by-Step Guide to Today's Techniques
Filled with more than 300 fully sized photographs and actor's schematic drawings, 'Stage Makeup' should become the standard reference for performers. Besides period makeup, age makeup, and special-effects applications, the book delves into fantasy makeup, animal faces, and other kinds of stylisation found on the contemporary stage - and with the use of the most up-to-date materials.
The book's special binding is one of its many strong features: Designed to lie open on the makeup table, it makes it easy for the actor to see, learn from and enjoy the large full-colour illustrations, detailed exercises, and step-by-step instructions. Explaining all the basic techniques the actor needs, the author offers tips on putting together a personal makeup kit, analysing one's own facial features, creating a picture file, caring for one's skin, and using a colour-mixing chart.
