Product Information

Their book, Makeup Is Art: Professional Techniques for Creating Original Looks, is how you'd hope a makeup artistry book would look: gorgeous full-size color photos of models wearing avant-garde makeup, close-ups of skin treatments and masks, and detailed images of how-to techniques. The content starts with the basics (eyes, lips, cheeks, etc.) but moves to some interesting places: there's a discussion of the different types of professional makeup application (namely, advertising, editorial, and live events / catwalk / red carpet), but the book also discusses body art, underwater makeup, and (gasp!) makeup application on men. It's kind of silly that more books don't include men as a makeup topic. Jemma Kidd Make-up Masterclass: Beauty Bible of Professional Techniques and Wearable Looks, by Jemma Kidd Makeup Artist Money Manual: A Simple, Step-by-step Guide to Your Long Lasting, Lucrative Career in Wedding Makeup Artistry, by Theresa Amundsen Scottish Highlands Postcodes (IV, HS, KA27-28, KW, PA20-49, PA60-78, PH17-26, PH30-n 44, PH49-50, ZE ) 48 Hour Dispatch This is another book that doesn't really provide techniques or glossy how-to photos; if that's your interest, you should look at the Kevyn Aucoin book and the Chris Scott book above. How to Be a Professional Makeup Artist: A Comprehensive Guide for Beginners provides just that: a kind of road map to a makeup artistry career. Did We Miss Any?​

This is actually a really good book, and is both image-heavy and content heavy. It's thorough and well-organized. It's also one of the only titles we found that includes a face map, which is a super-important took when you're starting out and learning makeup (and even when you've made it and know what you're doing). Make-Up Designory's Beauty Make-Up is pretty straight-forward---base, brows, eyes, cheeks, lips---but it includes sections on applying makeup to mature models, applying makeup via airbrush, and working with brides. You get the sense that they borrowed from their live classes to write the book, and that's a good thing. There's a (very) small chapter on actually working in the beauty biz, but it's not long enough for us to include it in our section titled...

Channel Islands, including Jersey and Guernsey (Sark, Alderney and Herm are an additional 1 days delivery from Guernsey) 48 Hour Dispatch Service Plus, special bonus: the book is spiral bound. Why isn't every single book about makeup spiral bound? WHY? It's a huge plus, because it makes the book waaaaay easier use to use when you're practicing the techniques in the book. You won't have to weight both sides of the book down with a shoe or something. For better or worse, this book feels like a textbook---something that you might have to read in school. So, it may be a little less seductive than makeup books that feature colorful images and beautiful models. BUT. The subject matter is something you love, so it's probably an easier read.

Jemma Kidd is many things: makeup artist, fashion model, and finally, Marchioness of Duoro. If you're an American (and most of the writers of MakeupArtistEssentials.com are American, by the way---in fact, most live in Brooklyn, NY, the least royal place in all of the United States), please allow us to unravel that: a Marchioness is the wife of a Marquess, and a Marquess is an English nobleman of hereditary rank. Jemma is married to Arthur Wellesley, Marquess of Douro, and that makes her the Marchioness. The text is dense and information-rich, and that's another big plus. Many books about makeup technique have almost NO insight on how to apply a technique, the obstacles you need to look out for, and the opportunities that each makeup product present. Most books that are published by a school go in-depth about each topic, and this is no exception. We've offered a few criticisms here, but that's not to say it isn't an excellent book. If you're interested in a career in makeup artistry---as opposed to just learning a few new ideas---this is an excellent choice.

Of all the books in our list, this is one most famous, and in our opinion, it is DEFINITELY worth a read. Anyway, the Marchioness of Douro writes a pretty good book about makeup. She goes deep on a lot of topics that many cosmetics books ignore, and discusses makeup for various skin tones (porcelain, fair, light olive, dark olive, and deep), age (she splits it up into teen to early 20s, mid 20s to 30s, mid 30s to 40s, 40 to 50, 50 to 60, and 60 and beyond), and the facial shape. She then goes into different looks AND how to work different looks in different light (ie, daytime, nighttime, flash photography, and so on).
