Once again, we could not have done it without our amazing pros, who continued to share, update, and inspire us. We are very grateful to have all of the original contributors and designers from the first edition join us again on the second edition, and we are thrilled to include new artists and pros to this global group. Their vast contribution of knowledge, talent, and experience to this edition is humbling.

To S.E. Radich, there would be no text without you. You kept us sane and organized with our crazy schedules, multiple time zones, locations, and our long hours on set. Your amazing patience, support, and input have made this book complete. Unending thanks to you for your invaluable contribution in getting us to the final manuscript. Once again, we could not have done it without you.

Much thanks to Mary Birchler Design, for our beautiful book covers and elegance throughout both editions of this book. Thank you to Robert Revel and Devon Keene, whose illustrations give visual inspiration and life to our text.

Thank you to Focal Press and Elsevier for recognizing the need for this book. Specifically, thank you Elinor Actipis for your continued support, guidance, and encouragement through two editions.

We thank our friend, Jeffery J. Dicks, Esq., and colleague, Ashley C.L. Brown, Esq., for the support, guidance, and care in all things legal, and their wonderful enthusiasm for this book and the future.

Thank you to the Academy of Art University, San Francisco, and to filmmaker and innovator, David Oliver Pfeil, who was the first to approach Gretchen about starting a makeup program for the Academy of Art University. Without his vision and understanding of the importance of makeup in the film department, both as an art form and a career, students would not have had the opportunity to experience and witness what a Makeup Artist does. Thank you to Dan Burns and Jack Isgro for their support in the success of the makeup program at the Academy. Jack, your input to Elsevier made this all happen. Many thanks to Elisa Stephens who encourages instructors to teach students how it really is in the working world.

Much love and thanks to our families, friends, and mentors, who over the years have cheered us on in our careers, supported us in our travels, and offered unwavering, unconditional love, no matter how many times our schedules changed. You made it possible for us to give back, sharing all that we know and do.

Lastly, to all those actors, models, and performers whom we have touched throughout our years, thank you. You have allowed us to do “that thing we do” with you as our canvas!

Thank you.
