From School Library Journal:
Grade 8 Up-- This slight volume will appeal to serious theatre students and novices alike. Cummings begins with a lesson on assembling a basic (and relatively inexpensive) makeup kit, moves patiently through straight application and removal, and on to hair pieces, character makeup, and prosthetics. Each section is reinforced by a series of clear and simple pen-and-ink drawings. The direct, step-by-step instructions are set against informative discussion of color, light, shadow, and bone structure, making this not only a useful how-to book but also an accessible introduction to the art form. Particularly interesting is the inclusion of a makeup gallery. These detailed makeup plots for almost two dozen character types range from Snow White to space aliens and provide a wide variety of practice exercises as well as excellent points of reference for production needs.
