Make-up is a centuries-old art. It constantly changes and evolves as fashions come and go. But why do we wear make-up? Simply because the desire to look and feel good is always with us. This book takes you through the process of make-up application, revealing the tricks of the trade and showing you how to enhance your best features, as well as draw away attention from those you would rather not highlight! A chapter on the tools needed for professional make-up application is followed by "The Perfect Base," which includes practical information on skin cleansing, toning and moisturizing for different skin types. Foundations, eyes, cheeks and lips are all covered in great detail and there are also chapters on male grooming and make-up for teens.

Whether you're looking to improve your own style or wishing to make a profession out of make-up, this one-stop guide provides you with all the advice, skills and answers at your fingertips.
