Dawn Maloney, professional makeup artist and educator, announced the release of her new book, The Makeup Artist’s Design Book. This comprehensive guide introduces an innovative anatomical makeup technique that categorizes and identifies facial features based on shape patterns. 

With this new approach, makeup artists and beauty enthusiasts will learn how to tailor their makeup techniques to individual face structures, achieving symmetry and balance like never before.

Maloney commented, 

“I am deeply passionate about making each person feel and look their best. I started tracking face shape patterns to ensure flawless symmetry through natural-looking makeup. My technique is rooted in understanding facial proportions and working with them—not just chasing the latest makeup trends. Once you can identify facial shapes, you’ll be able to master makeup techniques that deliver consistent, beautiful results on anyone.”

The Makeup Artist’s Design Book offers an in-depth exploration of 32 eye shapes, 36 lip shapes, and 50 face shapes, resulting in 57,600 combinations. 

Through hand-drawn illustrations and detailed descriptions, readers can easily identify their unique features and learn the best makeup techniques to enhance their natural beauty.

In addition to the comprehensive facial shape identification system, the book includes expert makeup application directions with product recommendations, as well as 50 face-coloring charts, providing readers with the tools they need to practice and perfect their skills. 

This book is tailored for makeup artists, professionals in the face aesthetics industry, and beauty enthusiasts looking to deepen their understanding of makeup application. 

Maloney will also host a Book Launch Party at The Makeup Studio in Nutley, NJ on September 25.
