When I first became interested in Permanent Makeup I was lucky enough to receive this book as part of a school's info packet. It DOES give excellent information on what PM is and how to get schooled in it. To me, that was it...NOT enough to do anything more but wet my appetite for the career and MORE information. Thank God for the internet. I guess, back when it was written, it was the only book about PM. Now the information out there is endless and diverse.It was well written, and the few pix in it were well done. In truth, the woman who had the PM, in my opinion, is a good example of how it should look after...not all dolled-up. Permanent makeup is meant to enhance what you already have, or give you what has begun to disappear (via menopause or surgery or accident) or for those with alopecia, who never were born with or lost their features (hair, brows).
This Book is excellent, Any Permanent make-up Artist or Educator that has not purchased this book yet, seriously needs to do so.I love this book, I just wish it came on a dvd so that I could use it for my students as a reference. It has everything in it and more. wow!!!!!!Thank you Eleanora Habnit
The book is one of many I purchased after I learned permanent makeup about 5 years ago. I really was not thrilled with the lack of real technical information. It seemed too general. I have since met Theresa Garcia and found her site about 6 months ago. She has a wealth of knowledge and research in this subject. I email her all of the time with questions. She has written a book and another is in the making. see her at [...]
I found the book very vague on technical "how to" information. Beautiful pictures though...lots of artsy reference but lacking for the technician. A good book for a potential client of permanent makeup - although who would read a whole book to decide yay or nay? Get it for the pictures!! But you won't learn much from it.
I expected to get a lot more detail from this book. The info is very basic. You can get more info off of the web, for free, than you can get from this book.
This was a total surprise! I am amazed at what can be done with permanent makeup - and not just for beauty. I am impressed with and interested in this profession.
