MAKE UP IS ART

Gain a true insight into the creative world of makeup artistry with sound advice on all the tools, knowledge and techniques you need

Makeup is art. Every face is a blank canvas and every brush stroke creates something magical. Makeup enhances natural beauty but also builds confidence for everyday life. Jana Ririnui, makeup artist and founder of AOFM, and Lan Nguyen, makeup artist and creative director, have come together with a team of other top industry professionals to create a book dedicated to inspire other makeup artists, those wishing to enter this exciting career and anyone who wants to experiment with, and develop, their makeup looks.

It is a glossy, gorgeous makeup manual written by London’s Academy of Freelance Makeup, one of the world’s best training institutes. AOFM tutors work with prestigious clients such as Versace, Armani, Dior and Vogue. It includes basic makeup advice along with step-by-step instructions for a range of truly inventive looks using specialist techniques – from Lady Gaga-inspired creations and retro looks to underwater makeup and body painting. 

We created this book to fill the gap of providing a visual book to inspire. Its more practical with less text and more images to show what you can achieve and being creative but beautiful too. All the images were shot from scratch especially for this project and thanks to our friends and sponsors who helped make it possible. The first edition launched back in 2009 during London Fashion Week with a great party and copies were sold in RD Franks, Soho Book Stores, Charles Fox and a number of other boutique shops. The second edition is out towards the end of the year and will be available worldwide.

Other reviews here from my the fabulous stylist Rebekah Roy whom I have the pleasure to work with quite often during London Fashion Week and various editorials.


It is also available to buy AOFM
