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.
