How to Apply Makeup Professionally

Rate this book
Applying makeup has always been one of those things every woman is expected to know. The real truth is that so many women have no idea how to put on makeup correctly and to actually make an improvement to the way they look.

If you were one of the lucky ones, then your mother probably showed you a few things here and there. But to be honest, she probably also had no real training in this subject. Some of us had to pick up a few makeup tips here and there but never really had the opportunity to learn the right techniques.

I am Anneke la Grange from the University of Makeup. In this book I take each aspect of makeup and start by discussing what we want to accomplish and how we’re going to accomplish it. By knowing the techniques in this book you will open a new world of confidence for yourself. You’re not only going to learn how to apply makeup correctly, you’re going to learn how to apply it professionally.

You can use this knowledge just for yourself or take it further and start mentoring your friends and family. Maybe a new career is waiting for you…a career in being a professional makeup artist. You will be able to make yourself absolutely beautiful and also turn others into supermodels.

This book is probably more suited to home make-up application than wannabe MUAs and for the price of the print edition especially is very much lacking in illustrations (stock images are used where images are used). The book perpetuates several skincare myths and suggests that it's OK for MUAs to use sponges more than once! The hygiene section really needs work.
While this is probably one of the deeper self published make-up books on Kindle, I'd still suggest swerving it in favour of Bobbi Brown if you're new to make-up or real life make-up education if you really want to be an MUA.
