Very interesting:
Although I have been doing makeup for sometime, this book gave me plenty of ideas for new ways to look at it.
very detailed and interesting read. This book gives you real makeup tips that can be performed on the average person and not just for professional makeup look.
DISAPPOINTMENT:

Unfortunately, this wasn't the book for that. Although it provides very useful information for beginners or makeup virgins, it doesn't help if you already know the basics and are looking for the next level in makeup application.
Excellent guide for the beginner:
Almost every topic related to beauty is mentioned. She does have small sections for ethnic beauty, diet/exercise, men's beauty/makeup & special occassion makeup. BB is all about neutral/natural looks so everything she suggests is timeless. Has several chapters devoted to working with your natural beauty & playing up your flaws instead of trying to camoflauge them. Book isn't as visually appealing as many others but makes up for it in the amount of information given. While instructions don't come... more info
