Color and Light in Makeup. A Professional Guide to Color Theory and Special Effects for Makeup Artists

The author of the book, Katie Middleton, a professional makeup artist for film and television, an instructor with over 20 years of experience, shares her knowledge that connects the art of painting, the laws of light and color theory with modern makeup techniques.
You will learn how color works on the skin, why the same tone looks different under daylight and artificial light, how to choose the perfect palette for any skin tone, and how to control visual effects using color.
The book is richly illustrated - it includes color schemes, palettes, detailed visual analyses of makeup, examples from classical painting, and fragments of works by great artists. This makes the theory a visual course, where each example can be applied in practice.
The book will help you think like an artist, see deeper, and create makeup based not on templates, but on an understanding of color, light, and form. It will be of interest to makeup artists, stylists, makeup designers, beauty school teachers, students, and anyone who wants to speak the language of color professionally.
