Skilled makeup artists are a very important part of the crew. Makeup effects is an exciting field, and you get to mess people up-instead of removing flaws, you add them. Most people who do it for a living have a great passion for the subject and enjoy finding out more. There is always something new to learn, and people approach the same jobs with different techniques and preferences. I have Todds book, and reccommend it to anyone thinking about it as a career choice. There is no better publication out there that is as up to date or thorough.
