Make-up Website

If you are looking for make-up information, particularly about working as a make-up artist you might want to have a look at Makeup444.com. This website is a division of Make-up Artist Magazine, which is a professional (US) make-up industry publication that we subscribe to at the College, so don't forget to have a look at this while you are in the Library; there is a copy at Richmond House and Summer Row.

Makeup444.com features tips from industry make-up artists and new make-up and skincare products, plus breakdowns of make up used on film artists for particular films.
