Postiche studies has always been taught as a separate subject and has usually not included the theatrical element. One area of knowledge without the other can spell boredom and loss of interest and has limited commercial value. However, now that thetrical and media make-up has become an examinable subject, thhere is a need for detailed explanations of the many varied processes involved in the art and crafts of these subjects. Wigs and make-up for the theatre, television and film covers the examination requirements of the City & Guilds of London Institute, the International Health and Beauty Council, and the National Vocational Qualifications.

This book is deigned to lead students through the learning of these skills step-by-step, by nuilding up their knowledge and confidence in easy stages with assessment exercises at the end of each chapter. It can be used by students learning on their own or in groups. The text has also been simplified to enable colleges to run courses without the need for expensive materials.
