Makeup Artist Eye Charts by Gina M. Reyna Reyna has created a series of makeup chart books, but this is the only other one I will mention here (they’re all good, though). Working on eye looks is a practice all its own, so  this chart book dedicated to just eyes  is a great way to practice. With 138 eye charts in 6 shapes, 98 practice charts, 26 bonus charts, and pro tips and tricks, such as drawing lashes and brows, you’ll have all the practice you need to slay that makeup each day.

Most artists use face charts to practice new looks. It saves time and makeup of using a real face (and also means you don’t need a model). If you’d like to get some real life practice,  you’ll love this book. You can use makeup, paint, colored pencils, whatever suits you as you work through these 48 face charts in 3 styles: almond eye, Asian and male. Practice charts and bonus charts allow you to work on isolated features and each of the charts comes with and without brows.  This interactive  makeup chart book  is so much fun and I wish this existed back when I was working as an artist. download free   you will need human verification  buy it from amazon
