Simple, Honest Make-Up Tips That Really Work
Format: Kindle
I appreciated that the author began by sharing her credentials. She instantly felt trustworthy, not just another person writing another beauty book. The pictures throughout the book were a huge help for a visual learner like me. Every technique is explained clearly and makes sense. The author gives unending tips, such as how to make makeup and lipstick last longer, how to apply eye shadow based on your eye shape, and choosing the right shade of eye shadow based on your eye color. I think the author did a great job on giving advice for all ages and skin tones. Most make-up books don't take age into account. If you want a makeup guide that's trustworthy, easy to follow, and packed with practical tips for every level from beginners to pros, this book is a must-have. It’s helped me see makeup in a whole new way and I’m confident it can do the same for you. ... show more

Good starter makeup book
Format: Kindle
This is a good "starter" book about make-up application. I thought the book was well designed with easy to understand instructions and good photos and illustrations to show how to create different looks. I liked the fact that the author had a section on makeup and skincare for mature skin. The videos in the bonus on mature makeup makeovers were very interesting, although I felt the application (highlighting, shading, etc) was beyond my capabilities. Good for a real makeup artist. Altogether, I found this book helpful and entertaining. ... show more

The Ultimate and Complete Makeup Guide
Format: Kindle
This is a truly impressive yet simple to follow guide covering everything you need to know about applying makeup. From assessing skin type to understanding the role of each makeup product and how to apply it, author Simona has given her readers the ultimate resource. The book has many beautiful pictures and drawings throughout, which serve as perfect visuals to understand exactly what to do (especially helpful for me in seeing how to properly apply eyeshadow to the eyelids). I never properly learned how to apply makeup as a young adult, and as I’ve grown older, it has felt overwhelming to try and figure out the correct products and steps. Art and Brushes - The Magic of Makeup is the first book I’ve read that made me want to run out and get everything I need to apply flawless makeup. I will be referring to this again and again as I learn how to better do my own makeup. ... show more

Loved it!
Format: Paperback
This is a wonderful book (I have the paperback) with color photos and a wealth of information about all aspects of makeup. I am an older gal who loves makeup, but am a relative beginner with regard to the application despite selling it for a number of years. I will be implementing a lot of the tips here over time as there are so many ideas to choose from. I would say this goes into enough detail to inspire beginners and intermediate makeup enthusiasts. I have looked at the bonus material that comes with the book and love the idea of being able to print out tutorial pages to practice on!! Very cool! Looking forward to hours of fun with this! ... show more

Great Resource for Teachers and Students of Makeup!
Format: Kindle
This book is wonderful for anyone learning beauty makeup! It covers all the different types of brushes and makeup that you can use, with instructions and pros and cons of everything. It has lots of pictures and step by step information. The book has great face templates for practicing, too! I will be using elements of this book help teach makeup in my theatre courses! ... show more

Easy to Read and Understand - Handy Tutorial
Format: Kindle
I found this book to be informative, easy to read, straight and to the point. I found the chapter on makeup for mature skin to be quite helpful, as well as the chapter that discussed the best way to apply eye makeup based on the shape of your eyes (who knew?) I wish the chapters were outlined with more than the chapter number; it would be so much easier to find the specific topic being searched for. Other than that, I found this to be a handy tutorial. ... show more

Great book
Format: Paperback
This is an excellent book. I have to say I am impressed. One suggestion for the author. You might consider adding a chapter specifically for older women since we have challenges that younger women do not have
