    • A Wonderful Alternative to The Corson Text
Format: Paperback
Don't get my wrong, I love a classic, and Corson's Stage Makeup text is a classic of theatrical makeup and really should belong in the library of anyone who is really serious about stage makeup techniques. Thudium, however, has produced a wonderful text that is super accessible to students, has tons of color photos, lots of great makeup looks, and is a fraction of the price of the Corson text. For students who are maybe taking a makeup class to see if they are interested in the field or as an elective can get a great introduction to the art of stage makeup without buying an exhaustive and expensive volume like the Corson. The images are really detailed, large and gorgeous. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to know more about a wide variety of theatrical makeup techniques. ... show more

    • Excellent as a textbook or for self learners. Color photos on every page!
Format: Paperback
There is nothing better than this book. I am using it with teens, who are not big readers and they like all the photos and examples. There are great starting instructions. The book covers many styles of makeup.

    • Thank you for the inspiration
Format: Paperback
Bought this book for my daughter. She loves it. It has inspired her to get her cosmetology license and take theatre classes. She wants to teach! How about that. Thank you for your inspiration. The book has very clear and concise instructions and easy to read/see pictures/text. It is a great addition to your library. ... show more

    • Good for High School Theatre Makeup Artists
Format: Paperback
I'm a high school drama teacher. This book has great, close-up pictures and easy to understand step-by-step instructions. My students refer to it quite a lot in the Theatrical Makeup class that I teach as well as when they are working on makeup crew for productions.

    • nothing special
Format: Paperback
The design techniques for basic contouring and period make-up are solid and the full color photos are helpful. Also, the author includes solid instructions for tranfering drawn schematics onto the face. The "fantasy" make-up section though is a joke-she showcases design projects from her jr. high/high school classes and many more closely resemble advanced face-painting instead of useful stage techniques. Unfortunately this book is still superior to many beginning stage make-up books on the market. ... show more
