makeup artist's manual - what would you want out of it?

[LC]

As part of some of the longer classes that I offer to aspiring makeup artists, I wrote a makeup artist's manual a couple years ago. This year I'm re-writing it, updating a lot of stuff. I wanted to get some opinions on topics and specific things you'd want to see covered in a makeup artist's manual if you had one. These are the topics that I already have...did i miss anything?

Colour correcting, covering tattoos, working with different eye shapes, a couple period looks (ie flapper, pin up), easy theatrical looks (exaggerated contouring, ageing, changing the skin tone).

I think coming from you this would be beautiful! Such a good artist and a great mother! I'm excited

I would add airbrushing!

I would definitely add something about photographing makeup, and how to make face charts would be useful, too!
