What They Don't Teach You in Cosmetology School by Marquetta Breslin
Call Number: TT958.23 .B74 2019
There's a huge difference between becoming a great beauty professional and becoming a successful one. While cosmetology school teaches the mastery required to become a skilled beauty professional, it does not teach you much about building a successful life and business using those skills. This is why so many talented professionals struggle to make ends meet. Cosmetology school prepares you for a life of "paying your dues" and working your way up the ladder so you can (hopefully) make it someday. Discovering what they don't teach you in cosmetology school will help you break free of that path and put you on the fast track to becoming truly successful. Inside the pages of this book, you'll discover how to create real success and live life on your terms.

In Face Paint, Lisa Eldridge reveals the entire history of the art form, from Egyptian and Classical times up through the Victorian age and golden era of Hollywood, and also surveys the cutting-edge makeup science of today and tomorrow. Face Paint explores the practical and idiosyncratic reasons behind makeup's use, the actual materials employed over generations, and the glamorous icons that people emulate and how they achieved their effects. An engaging history of style, it is also a social history of women and the ways in which we can understand their lives through the prism and impact of makeup.
