Books You Should Own as a makeup artist

A makeup artist weapon are their brushes and books...yea I said it BOOKS. most people who are into makeup artistry undermine the importance of reading books related to their field (very important) – well, these are the books I think every makeup artist should own. I have read and own 4 of these books, the rest am trying to get my hands on them. enjoy!
