User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars My New Makeup Bible
I love this book. It is my makeup bible! The pictures are beautiful and the techniques outlined worked wonders for me. I was always clueless about makeup (total tom girl) and now I feel like a pro!
4 Stars Great Buy
I am new to Makeup Artistry and this book has proven to be a great buy for me.
With the help of this book, I now understand the purpose and placement of makeup.
This is a great buy.
4 Stars Not stunning, but still useful
Working in the beauty industry, I already knew most of the makeup tricks and steps described here concerning contouring and highlighting, how to shape a brow, how to apply eye shadows, lipstick, blush, etc. Nevertheless, the book has been useful because it shows you how to deal effectively with every type of eye shape: hooded eyes, wide set eyes, droppy eyes, prominent eyes, etc. It also has very good explanation and photos about contouring and highlighting. With this book you can learn to do very natural makeups, which are great for every day wear. Here you won’t learn how to do different kinds of makeups (for a more formal occassion, or to go out by night, for example).
If you know nothing about makeup it will be very helpful; if you do, it maybe will teach you to refine some of your techniques, and to mix eye shadow textures and tones as the author so beautifully does.
Nevertheless, I have to say all the makeups shown in this book look just the same, as if the artist has imposed HIS OWN PERSONAL STYLE upon every woman he makeups. And then, the beautiful photos are very much edited, perfectly flawless… No makeup artist, well talented as he/she may be, can achieve such perfection as is depicted on this photos.
5 Stars Great tips from a Pro are well illustrated — Very helpful.
Easy to read and with lots of great color pictures, this book can help one go from ordinary to amazing. Funny how a few insights/ tips from a professional “makeup artist” can improved one’s “look” and the way you face the day!
5 Stars Good Book
Very good book. It explains everything clearly… and has A LOT of explanations, so it’s easy. I love how it talks about different types of products, their pros and cons, and how to use them. It also talks about WHAT to do with these products, what kind of eyes you have,how to shape eyebrows, face shape, the tools to use, etc, etc! This book is amazing and will help SO MUCH!!! I love it!
