According to New York University Libraries
This is the only Career Guide for professionals in makeup art and hair design. It focuses almost exclusively on the beauty and fashion industries, but it still includes much valuable information for theatre professionals.
The author covers all aspects of the trade ranging from portfolio and resume to makeup kits, from "looking the part" to the public library and other information resources, from working with photographers and agencies to working freelance. Also included are a glossary and a resource directory.
