Product Information

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).

Chris Scott is an incredible artist, and his book, Face with A Heart: Mastering Authentic Beauty Makeup, is a fantastic read.

Regardless of whether you want to do bridal makeup or not, if you'd like to get into makeup as a career, this is a great book to have. The business principles that the author discusses are relevant to ALL makeup artists, and not just the ones who work on brides. Plus, to do all this research online would take you hours, if not days---but most (not all, but most) of what you need to know is right here. The book itself is fantastic. So many makeup books look fantastic, but don't have any real substance. Chris Scott's book not only discusses various techniques, it provides step-by-step guidance on how to take care of your skin, prime lips and eyes and apply stains and shadows, and form a makeup strategy using model's various facial shapes. Chris supplements the book with a set of super-helpful how-to videos here.​ Channel Islands, including Jersey and Guernsey (Sark, Alderney and Herm are an additional 1 days delivery from Guernsey) 48 Hour Dispatch Service 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.

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.
