Product Description

Product Description

A classic in its field since its original publication, "The Technique of the Professional Make-Up Artist" is now revised, updated and paperback for a new generation of professionals. This encyclopedic resource covers all of the current studio make-up methods and lab techniques, with text and art contributions from some of the leading experts in the industry. The author explains clearly and precisely the differing approaches to stage-lit such as: audience-attended television taping; studio-lit, no-audience taping; live television with natural outdoor lighting; live stage make-up; and the innumerable techniques and methods of film make-up. In addition to detailing the basic, day-to-day 'paint and powder' procedures that are the bulk of any professional make-up artist's work. He also describes exciting new visual effects that can be achieved using puppetry, digital computing, and electronic coloration. It includes topics such as: revised make-up charts for men and women; new special effects make-up photographs; new information on contact lenses and dental work; updated information on film types; and revised appendices. Vincent J R Kehoe has been working in the professional make-up field since 1940. He has been in charge of make-up for more than 3000 major television, film, and stage productions, and was head of the make-up departments for CBS-TV in New York and the "NBC Hallmark Hall of Fame" series. His previous books include "Special Make-Up Effects" (Focal Press), "The Technique of Film and Television Make-Up", and "Photographic Make-Up for Stills and Movies", and he has written several articles on advanced make-up research for the "Journal of the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers" (SMPTE). As president and director of the Research Council of Make-Up Artists since 1963, Mr Kehoe designed and produced the entire Color Process line of RMCA Professional Products. He lives in Somis, CA. This is a classic text updated for the next generation of make-up artists. It covers all studio methods and lab techniques. It contains information on many types of exciting new visual effects.

For profesionals 2 Mar 2006
Format:Paperback
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.

Quite Artificial 25 April 1999
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
This isn't the exact look in a book that I was looking at, though it was quite fine just not my style. Buy MAKING FACES by Kevyn Aucoin!
