CREATESPACE Special Effects Guide Of Real Human Wounds and Injuries: Special Effects Guide Of Real Human Wounds and Injuries

I bought this as a gift for a Make Up Artist and she loves it. I read previous reviews and the negative ones may not have read the (perfectly adequate) Amazon description. Don't give it to children for Halloween makeup ideas and don't expect it to train you to re-create injury details; this is a reference book of photographs for skilled make up artists who don't want to/can't resort to the internet for reference material.

As someone who works in media makeup, this book has been on my list for a while and I finally got a copy. Perfect for reference and reduces the sheer volume of books required while covering all the basics (and some more advanced) requirements for film and TV makeup artists working today.

It must be pointed out this isn't a 'guide' to create special effects using makeup. It is a compendium of gruesome injury photographs! Interesting though!

Just a collection of gory photos.No guide Sent back

Fascinating (if you have a strong stomach) and does exactly what it says it does: illustrates wounds.Set text for my daughter’s special effects makeup course.
