"Fashions in Makeup has been a standard work of reference for over thirty years and is a fascinating survey of the history of cosmetic adornment through the ages, from Egypt, Greece and Rome to the beginning of the twenty-first century. Now brought up to date in this new edition by fashion writer James Sherwood, this profusely illustrated book is an essential work of reference that will be welcomed by makeup artists and beauty consultants, costume designers, actors, illustrators, social historians and all those interested in the use and application of cosmetics." --Book Jacket.
