Summary

Never look at makeup in the same way again. This is a revolutionary creative masterclass formulated to match YOU from top Makeup Artist Dominic Skinner.

Having watched Dom’s shrewd eye on BBC Three’s Glow Up, you’d be forgiven for thinking his first book is all about precision and perfection. After decades in the beauty industry, Dom has mastered the art of makeup so that you don’t have to. In this book, Dom introduces his philosophy: break the rules, go wild, and stick a finger up at convention.

So forget those tired, one-size-fits-all makeup principles and open your mind to creative techniques that work for you, with these three inspired steps:

• Experiment: Makeup is a means of self-expression. Dom begins with 20 challenges to have fun with. Cover yourself in glitter, try a monochrome approach, be inspired by your favourite sweet wrapper – these challenges will make you think about makeup in a whole new way.
• Create Your Look: Once you’ve had a go with these, you’ll learn why some looks worked, and others didn’t, by learning all about balance, symmetry, colour theory and more. This will help you create a finessed look for a party, a festival or even just for a day at home. 
• Sharpen Your Skills: Develop your looks and finesse your techniques, with Dom’s expert tips on how to get the little details just right.

Dominic Skinner’s Glowography is a brand-new makeup philosophy where everyone is welcome – no matter your age, race, gender or ability. Whether you want to break existing beauty habits or you’ve never worn makeup before, this is the book that will give you all the expertise and confidence you’ll ever need.
