Dawn Maloney, a renowned professional makeup artist and educator, has introduced THE MAKEUP ARTIST’S DESIGN BOOK, a groundbreaking guide that shifts the focus of makeup application to an anatomical technique. This method categorizes facial features by shape patterns, enabling makeup artists and beauty enthusiasts to customize their approach for each individual's unique face structure. The book emerges as a solution to the widespread challenge of applying makeup that doesn't consider personal facial anatomy, a frustration many face when trying to replicate looks.
Developed from Maloney's rich experience on national television shows, the technique identifies consistent anatomical patterns that require specific application methods to achieve natural-looking symmetry. THE MAKEUP ARTIST’S DESIGN BOOK explores 32 eye shapes, 36 lip shapes, and 50 face shapes, detailing 57,600 possible combinations. With hand-drawn illustrations and comprehensive descriptions, the book serves as a guide for readers to discover their unique features and learn makeup techniques tailored to them.
Maloney advocates for a focus on understanding facial proportions rather than chasing trends, ensuring consistently beautiful results on any face. In addition to the facial shape identification system, the book includes expert application instructions, product recommendations, and 50 face-coloring charts. Available for purchase on Amazon and the author's website, this manual represents a significant leap forward in the field of makeup artistry, combining scientific understanding with practical application.
