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

She advocates much too much makeup application. I don't think we all need foundation plus prep plus concealer plus this plus that plus.... Also she advocates natural beauty (accept your humped nose! etc...) but her models all have the typical symmetrical look. Which is fine and dandy but mildly hypocritical considering her natural beauty advocacy. I do like the section for teenage girls about self acceptance. Still overall her product line and approach just isn't my thing.
not the best i've read....:
I consider makeup to be an important part of my everyday appearance. And this book really didn't deliver on anything more than everyday, easy to learn tricks that i gathered when i was 14 from Glamour. Not my fave makeup book, but there are a few good spots
Not as good at is sounds:
I was very disappointed with the book. I have been wearing makeup since I was 15. I take it as my hobby and what I needed was a book that could show me different techniques, different ways of applying makeup other than the usual ways I was taught over the years, different color combinations. This book is REALLY BASIC. It really does not give you a step by step in how to achieve a certain look. So if this is what you are looking for go for another book.
