Chimmie,
Absolutely. I was a costume and makeup major in college, and now living in San Francisco, I have a variety of TV/TS friends.
I'm going to suggest a few books, as these can be had just about anywhere. One is Richard Corson's _Stage Makeup_. This is THE theatrical makeup bible, as it were, and has complete instructions on changing the appearance of the face using makeup. On a more fashion makeup source, anything written by the late Kevyn Aucoin is amazing. In his book _Face Forward_ he even does a male to female transformation.
Good luck,
Rae
