Bound to thrill anyone interested in creating realistic and unique makeup effects! Review: One of the best and most interesting Guidebooks - So I first saw this guide book on tumblr and saw some of the simpler tutorials and had to have it! This book is jammed packed with cool monsters and techniques. My favorite part and probably the most useful for those looking to get into monster movie magic is it teaches you how to sculpt and cast for masks. You can make all the monsters you see on the cover plus more! They walk you through every accessories , every piece of the costume, every tool and product you need, it is definitely worth it! I mean its almost worth it for the pictures of the models alone! Review: beautiful, inspirational artwork - A really beautiful book. I got it to learn about special fx makeup, but it also includes a brief section on basic beauty makeup. However, its true amazingness is in the colorful, detailed photos of the prosthetics being created and applied, proving to the world that this is a true art form that takes dedication and talent. Admittedly, a few of its explanations aren't as detailed as I would like, and i think it's more of a showcase of beautiful work than a serious text for instruction in sfx makeup. but I still love it and am glad I have it. I wouldn't say it takes the place of hands-on studio instruction, but it's great for inspiration. ## Features - A Complete Guide to Special Effects Makeup ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #290,495 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #34 in Performing Arts Reference #63 in Stagecraft (Books) #117 in Body Art & Tattoo | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 725 Reviews | ## Images ![A Complete Guide to Special Effects Makeup: Conceptual Creations by Japanese Makeup Artists - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/817wdVzneeL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the best and most interesting Guidebooks *by K***Y on July 3, 2013* So I first saw this guide book on tumblr and saw some of the simpler tutorials and had to have it!

I love the photographed step-by-step guides to creating really interesting things. Having many books on the subject, including the famed Tom Savini book Grade Illusions, this is by far my favorite and the most useful. While I loved GE, it wasnt as easy to follow or full of information. I can't wait to sit down and try all these makeups, including the step by step to making a half body cast. Spectacular, a must have for the learning SFX artist. ## Frequently Bought Together - A Complete Guide to Special Effects Makeup: Conceptual Creations by Japanese Makeup Artists - A Complete Guide to Special Effects Makeup - Volume 2: Introduction to Dark Fantasy and Zombie Makeups - A Complete Guide to Special Effects Makeup 3 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/315939-a-complete-guide-to-special-effects-makeup-conceptual-creations-by](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/315939-a-complete-guide-to-special-effects-makeup-conceptual-creations-by) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-05-28*
