  • An excellent how-to book.
Reasonably current and up-to-date when discussing materials and makeup suppliers. Easy to follow directions. This is actually a text book for teaching theatrical stage makeup.

  • A Wonderful Alternative to The Corson Text
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

  • Thank you for the inspiration
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

The recipient of this book was quite happy and will be able to use it in her craft. The step by step process is very useful. Some of the products used for stage make up may not be as current, since the book was published in the 70's. There are many new products in the market that should be included in the next publication. For the amount I paid for, this book is a great resource. ... show more

  • A great beginner/intermediate textbook on stage makeup
This book is a classic for beginner/intermediate makeup artists. It has lots of color pictures, illustrations, and guides that make it an easy read and will help develop your skill of applying makeup for the stage!

  • Excellent as a textbook or for self learners. Color photos on every page!
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.
