Great Book:
I found this book to be very helpful. It's not really for the makeup application aspect of the industry although it does give a few pointers, but more so for the business end. How to market oneself as an MUA, how to get a job in various markets etc. I think this is book is excellent for that because not too many authors think about that portion of it which is also very important. The book mentions different schools one can attend to get training, most of which I already knew by reputation so the book is up... more info
Good Resource for Career Info:
Good resource to get your career in makeup started. Not so much for application itself, but more for the business side of professional makeup. Lots of useful info of setting up your business, creating your portfolio, what to look for in a school. etc.
