If you enjoy makeup and want to improve your skills, beauty textbooks are a terrific way to do so. You'll find my all-time favorite makeup books on this list. They range from basic makeup tutorials for newbies to more expert tutorials, as well as some motivational beauty manuals and even how to manufacture your own organic products! These are the novels that come to mind when I think of the books that shaped my enthusiasm for airbrush makeup.
1) LISA ELDRIDGE'S "FACE PAINT - MAKEUP HISTORY"
With easy-to-read captions and skimmable blocks of text, this is an extremely stunning book and one of the best beauty books available. In the field of makeup, I consider it a classic.
Lisa Eldridge, a beautician and Lancome Worldwide creative director, explains the complete history of beauty in Face Paint, from Egyptian and Classical antiquity through Hollywood's golden era. But it's not only about the past. This full-color book's glossy pictures are a wonderful visual delight! You'll learn about the appeal of beauty icons like Twiggy and explore how people have used makeup to add glamour to their lives throughout history.
This is not a how-to book, but it does contain some valuable information. Lisa provides a unique perspective for individuals who may consider beauty and fashion to be "shallow" things. This book demonstrates how rich and diverse our culture is.
2) GABRIELA HERNANDEZ'S "CLASSIC BEAUTY - MAKEUP HISTORY"
Classic Beauty is a little more extensive than Face Paint, and it's an excellent reference book in my opinion. It demonstrates how history has shaped accepted beauty routines and trends, as well as the evolution of cosmetics over time. I'm not sure about you, but that kind of thing fascinates me!
I adore how the book is packed with photographs depicting the progression of cosmetics and beauty from the 1920s to the present day. This book isn't just for beauty artists and educators; it's also a good read for any makeup fanatic. It also looks fantastic on a tabletop!
3) JANA BLANKENSHIP'S "WILD BEAUTY: Wisdom and Self care Recipe"
Although it is said that you must not judge a book by its cover, it is impossible to avoid doing so with this one. It gives you that relaxing feeling, and all you want to do is break it open and lose yourself in it.
If you really want to take your chance at making your own cosmetics and goods, Wild Style is the handbook for you. When I want to experiment and get imaginative with producing my own mixtures, I always reach for it. It offers a ton of techniques for making fragrances, room mists, chapstick, body and face oils, bath salts, soups, health supplements, and more with essential oils.
This is an excellent approach if you want to go more organic and avoid toxins. The solutions are simple and plentiful, so you can easily spend a long time looking through this book.
4) ROBERT JONES’ "Robert Jones's MAKEUP MASTERCLASS"
This book is the best guide to applying makeup. You might pick this up as a newbie and be a professional in no time thanks to detailed descriptions and plenty of photographs to guide you.
Furthermore, Robert Jones discusses cosmetics for all ages, including special strategies for older beauty fans to maintain their best faces as they grow older.
Robert Jones is an expert who has built a beauty business, written numerous books, and operated on the features of a slew of superstars. He stands out for his opportunity to strike it down at this point that everybody can understand.
5) GINA M REYNA, "MAKEUP ARTIST FACE CHARTS"
Face charts are commonly used by artists to rehearse new faces. It saves time and cosmetics when compared to utilizing a real face (and eliminates the need for a model). You'll adore this book if you want to gain some real-life practice.
As you progress through all these 48 face charts in three styles: almonds eye, Asiatic, and male, you can use cosmetics, paint, colored pencils, or whatever you choose. You can focus on individual aspects with training charting and extra charts, which come with and without brows.
This dynamic makeover chart book is a lot of fun, and I wish it had been around when I was a Makeup professional.
