Face Paint - The Story of Makeup
In the New York Times bestseller Face Paint, makeup artist Lisa Eldridge reveals the entire history of the art form, from Egyptian and Classical times through the Victorian age and golden era of Hollywood, and surveys the cutting-edge makeup science of today and tomorrow.
Face Paint explores the practical and idiosyncratic reasons behind makeup's use, the actual materials employed over generations, and the glamorous icons that people emulate--from Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe to Madonna and Amy Winehouse--and details how they achieved their effect.
Each chapter reveals great industry stories and larger-than-life tales from many of the founders of modern beauty, including Helena Rubinstein, Charles Revson, Elizabeth Arden, and Estée Lauder.
