Color Theory for the Make-up Artist: Understanding Color and Light for Beauty and Special Effects is a comprehensive guide to applying traditional color theory to make-up artistry. The book begins by explaining the basics of color theory, including how colors are perceived and categorized, and then relates these concepts to the world of beauty and special effects make-up. You'll learn how to mix flesh tones using primary colors, how to identify and match skin tones and undertones, and how to choose flattering colors for the eyes, lips, and cheeks. The book also delves into the science behind special effects make-up, including why we bruise, bleed, or appear sick, and how to create realistic prosthetics. In addition to make-up techniques, the book covers the impact of lighting on color, including how to properly light a workspace for successful applications in film, television, theater, and photography. With its wealth of information and beautifully illustrated examples, this guide is an essential resource for make-up artists and anyone looking to enhance their understanding of color and light in beauty and special effects.
