 A W E S O M E
If you're into S.E. make-up, this is a good book to have on your table.
Intro book
Great intro book. Good use of easily found items. This is good for students. Lots of pictures. Good use of household items and very fun solutions for special effects. Most enjoyable to read.
Great entry level book
This book has a lot of great colour photos showing you special effects make-up you can do without any former knowledge.
If you are an expert this is probably not as exciting for you as it was for me.
I tried one or two of the tricks shown in this book. Did I make it look great? Well, no. I don't have the experience in order to make it look good yet. Still, it was helpful in giving me the entry level knowledge in seeing what is possible to make for small no-budget student productions. It contains lots of cool bloody and gory effects. At first I feared it was a bit too pricey, but it was in fact great value for my money. Fun for both kids and grown ups.
 Great For Beginners
I am a film student who needed to learn the basics of special effects makeup very quickly. This particular book did a great job of laying out some fundamentals of the makeup world. The book is organized into different effects, which if you only take at face value is limited. However, if you go through and read each effect that is being taught you will quickly realize that the book isn't a specific how-to for each effect, but rather an organized method to teach the fundamentals. For example, even if you don't need "monster hands", the chapter on making them is really just a great introduction into how to use latex on a medium scale.
Overall, this is a great resource for the beginner who wants to being learning the fundamentals of special effects makeup. It will certainly get your gears spinning and allow you to start thinking of how you can apply the different techniques it provides.
Gee,I can make you look terrible!
From gaping innards hanging out to oozing brains and ripped asunder eyeballs its all in here.How would like to grow another apendage,perhaps a little maligned and eat away at? Sprout a few bullets holes in yer head?Grow Dr.Spock ears?Be the hit of the trick or treat scene with this handy dandy easy to do reference guide.
