Do not buy:
This was horrible, a huge ad. It was all about what products to buy of theirs. It was also about the makeup artists and what they do, I didn't buy the book for that. I was hoping to get tips on how to do my makeup better, from the good makeup arists. For how much I paid for this book was incredible for the waste of info I got. Do not buythis book, it I could have rated it lower I would have. It was a waste of my money and time. I am upset with this book and will never buy any reading material for that... more info
Just a big catalog for their products! You won't learn anything!:

Fun to look at, nothing truly helpful:
I goes over a VERY basic overview of products and how to use them. Don't look for anything about skin tone variations or what suits you best, its simply a book on all the products they sell and bios on a few of the creators. It isn't bad just if you are looking for a tutorial book, there are better ones out there.
Disapointed:
Very disapointed in this book..it is more like a catalog of advertising their products..you can learn way more tips visiting the store...instead of buying the book..go to store and spend your money
