Oh, wow. This is indeed a curious art and craft book. Chris Peck documents his and the models' (kudos to them) transformation in detailed, accessible and engaging steps. The transformations from the person to the characters are amazing. This book has all the information you need about cosplay and creative makeup. The characters/makeup personas features are various, the techniques are rich.
In my opinion, there was not a need for the part about social media content creation, and I did not request to review this book for that information. Though, many people can find that part beneficial. It was just something that I was not interested in (the lighting, video editing and camera tips are handy though).
The design and layout of the book are cool, and everything is so vibrant.
I hope Quarto and Peck collaborate at least a couple of more times. I am sure there will be more creative ideas by Peck.
Body painter extraordinaire Chris Peck, aka Rainbowskinz, shows you the fundamental techniques he uses to create an infinite number of extraordinary looks.
Thank you Quarto Publishing for making this book available as a Read Now book on Netgalley! I enjoyed this book. I’m not going to use any of the tips in here but this book was still fun to read.
I love going to comic cons and seeing other peoples cosplay in person and online so I was very intrigued to read it. It combined great photographs of cosplay with techniques that were very detailed. Overall a great Makeup Cosplay guide.
Excellent. Detailed tutorials without becoming too technical. Loved the pictures and the sheer diversity of characters and techniques.
Also it was great to see a section on how to safely remove some of the prosthetic and latex based adhesive parts.
The final chapter on becoming a social media creative with cosplay was fascinating. Highly recommend.
