Face Forward from Little, Brown and Company Price: $14.95
Customer Review: I got this book after finding it in a library. I have a houseful of teenage and soon-to-be teenage daughters who are all very interested in makeup although they haven't started yet. It doesn't waste too much time with the absolute basics of applying makeup but is very useful on different "looks" and... more info
Making Faces from Little, Brown and Company Price: $14.95
Customer Review: I got this book after seeing its companion, "Face Forward" in the library. Like "Face Forward", the book is a collection of photos of famous people made up to look like other famous people, with detailed descriptions of how it was done. This book has more basic makeup tips than "Face Forward" and is... more info
Customer Review: I love creating eyeshadow looks but this book is horrible, all of the looks seem like they were blindly done with a fingertip. That cover eyeshadow look is decent compared to whats in this book.
Customer Review: I thoroughly enjoyed "Kevyn Aucoin a beautiful life: The Success, Struggles, and Beauty Secrets of a Legendary Makeup Artist". His friends and family gave a thorough view inside the life and times of the VERY talented Kevyn Aucoin. It was a story that ended all too soon for this reader.
Customer Review: This book is definitely worth reading for those interested in makeup. However, many complaints stated by others are valid, such as the light, small type, in block paragraphs on white paper, is hard to read. The "before" photos can be a little disturbing because they are nearly life-size, and despite... more info
Customer Review: This book has a number of great tips for people looking for a makeover. It also has lots of great pictures most of which have been airbrushed to make the models look even better. The tips are sound and good advice but the photos are deceptive. Lots of makeup no makeup looks.
Customer Review: 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... more info
Customer Review: Lots of good ideas, instructions, and tips. Well worth buying. I liked the products from the suggested website too, although it can be hard to decide from the many possibilities which eyebrow shapes can best flatter your face. The suggestions are fun to try, and they work.
Customer Review: I have read every book out there, so I thought what could this book offer. I was so surprised, Mr. Jones really gave me so much food for thought. I do makeup for a living (and of course that means a lot of brides), he thought of things that I do out of instinct and from trial and error, but it is... more info
Customer Review: I love makeup, Allure magazine (and others) and makeup books, so I decided to get this. I don't think this is in the same league as Kevyn Aucoin, but there is some interesting stuff in here. Some of the looks do seem a bit dated, and there seem to be more photos from the late 1970s and through the... more info
