A Beginner’s Guide to Special Makeup Effects, Volume 2 builds on the foundations covered in A Beginner's Guide to Special Makeup Effects: Monsters, Maniacs and More, introducing more professional-level materials and techniques and preparing readers for the next steps in their career.

This book is divided into two sections: Paint and Buildups and Prosthetics. The first section shows a variety of characters created using two-dimensional painting techniques and materials that can be built up right on the skin, while the second section teaches how to apply a variety of store-bought prosthetics. Foam latex, silicone and prosthetic transfers are all covered. Each character is introduced with a full-page photograph of the finished makeup and illustrated with full-color, step-by-step photographs. The makeup tutorials in this book are designed to build on the lessons learned in the previous chapters, allowing readers to gradually expand on their skill set. The book also includes instruction on airbrushing, applying fake tattoos, making bald caps, PAX paint, wig application and a variety of other materials and skills. Five appendices cover topics including building a makeup kit, photographing your work and getting jobs as a makeup artist.

This is practical, easy-to-follow makeup book is suited for students of stage makeup courses, as well as for the theatre technician working and training on their own.
