This is the book that Bobbi Brown's fans have been waiting for: her 25-plus years of makeup styling experience distilled into one complete, gorgeous book. Bobbi looks at everything from skincare basics to every aspect of facial makeup--from how to find the right color and type of foundation for any skin tone to how to apply every detail of eye makeup (Brows, Eye Liner, Eye Shadow, and Eye Lashes) no matter your eye color and shape. Of course there are never- before-seen tips on blush, bronzer, lip liners, lipstick, etc. And Bobbi looks beyond the face with informative chapters on "Hands and Feet" and "Body Skin Care." Each chapter has thorough step-by-step basic directions for makeup application and easy-to-follow photographs and line drawings, along with Bobbi's expert, yet assuring, advice. Plus, there's a groundbreaking section of the book that will be of special interest to women who've wanted to know how makeup stylists do what they do: the top beauty secrets only these artists know, essential equipment to keep on hand, how to break into the business, and how to work with photographers and celebrities. Breathtaking photos of the finished faces-from everyday looks to exotic runway style-along with advice on putting it all together for every woman, make this a book like no other.

    • BB accomplishes her mission mostly....
Note: Since I am a bit late to the game on this book (it came out a few years ago), I am tempering my review by other reviews here... I think BB sets out to accomplish her mission with this book, including general makeup application. There are critics about her skin care take, but BB knows that good skin care, especially hydration keeps you and your makeup looking best. Ms. Brown has a signature style, and broke trends in her career, so I greatly respect that. This must be kept in mind. I personally have several MUA's (makeup artist) books in my library, with more soon to be added. This way I can develop my own style, 'cherry picking' through the offerings. Realistically most will not desire or have the time to devote so much to this topic, but you will be left less rounded if you only read from one or even two MUAs. (Respectfully, IMHO.) Ms. Brown wrote this book to be for budding MUAs. So keep that in mind. If something about the MUA industry does not appeal to you, skip over it. BB systematically covers makeup from skin care to finishing with powder, etc. What I especailly found wanting was her eye makeup application. To me, this topic is what most people (all ages) need help with. Her eye lining section is abysmal. (Sorry, Bobbi...) The photos show little discernable detail, atleast what you can make out of the heavy black liner on an eye that does not provide enough lid space to showcase what she attempts to teach. (Basically, wrong lighting, wrong eye shape/model, not a generally used eye lining look for most, and extremely dark liner.) (Again, respectfully--IMHO.) In general, this is a great addition to a MUA's library, there is information to be gleaned. Just don't expect any MUA author's book to contain all you need to know, as we all have vastly different takes on what works for us. The more MUA's books, the more I find they have their very own takes on makeup artistry, and this book is BB's. Bottom line: great book, as long as you balance it out by informing yourself with other MUAs. Glean what works for you. ... show more

    • Excellent book about the basics, and the more advanced techniques to make up!
This book really is a great introduction to correctly applying make up, and it's also a great way to learn more advanced techniques! This book addresses everything from nutrition and how it affects your skin, to finding the right foundation as well as applying concealer correctly. I have tried to apply make up over the years, but I have had a hard time getting everything just right. I used to wear just lipstick when I was younger. As I've gotten older though, the little fine lines and some redness on my cheeks have made it necessary to start using foundation. I would try to match my foundation correctly, but I always ended up getting it either too light or too dark. I spent a ton of money over the years trying to find the right foundation! I am SO thankful that I found this book by Bobbie Brown! It has changed everything! Now I know the right way to find a foundation and to apply it correctly. I also learned the importance of finding the right concealer, the tricks to applying it, and how to set it. This book has made a huge difference for me. I will feel a lot more confident knowing that I can finally walk out the door each day looking my best. I highly recommend this book for anyone who needs to learn more about make up! It will truly change your life! I also highly recommend this book to anyone that would like to learn more advanced techniques, as well as learning about what it takes to become a make up artist. Definitely FIVE STARS!!! ... show more

    • Not much for African Women. Quite strange for someone who talks a big game about diversity
Bobbi Brown is not like other makeup artists. If you know Brown from her other books, then you know that her style is natural makeup. If you know Brown even more then you know this book is a big improvement for women of color. However, the book retain the usual subjects (skin, face, lips, and eyes), adds a few new subjects, and expand on old ones. However, you will soon see why this is not the best book for African skin tones. Well received was the tutorial for the correctors and Brown teaches how to choose correctors and foundation, step-by-step apply them, recommend more foundations shades if needed, and did a tutorial on how to bridge the two. The tutorials were the best of the entire chapters because they dealt with problems African women have that are not touched upon in other makeup books. African women had better enjoy those tutorials, because that all African women receive. That is where the problems begin. Powders are briefly touched upon and we arrive at bronzers. Brown lists only two tones for African skin: "Dark" like Vanessa Williams or "deepest" like Venus Williams. Before she recommends a bronzer for women as "medium dark" as Jennifer Lopez. However, Vanessa Williams is light tan and Venus Williams is not "deepest," an example would be Alek Wek. Giving bronzer recommendation for only two out of maybe 8-10 dominate skin tones in the African community is ludicrous and unhelpful. Blushes are broken down into about seven types, but only three types get tutorials. Brown should have given a tutorial on chubby pencils and cheek tints, which she says herself, are the most difficult. There are also no recommendations on blushes for skin tones. So many African women are scared of wearing blush and do not even know where to start, or if they can even wear blush. Brown does do a table on what colors would be great to achieving a natural lip colors for different colored lips and expanded the table for anyone that does not have pale lips. In Brown's Beauty Evolution book, she give pales lips four shades options. If you had medium lips or two-tone, you had two options, if you had dark lips, one. It is offensive that people with the palest lips had more options than darker lipped people did. Now, everyone can choice between five shades. It is offensive as an African woman to read that you can only wear so many shades, colors, and hues while fairer women have an array of options. In the brows section, Brown does not mention on how to bring out golden or warmer tones in African skin, which is possible with brows. Sam Fine has done it and Brown can too. She does not even give tips on which brow colors. It is the same dilemma in the eye shadow section. No mentions how to use Africans tones to create a look, highlight color options, or how to make eye seem more awake. Ten-step guide and the Diverse Beauty are the worst. There is no ten-step guide or many tips in the Diverse Beauty section for African woman. "African American" women receive three tips. Why does Brown name it "African American" beauty? There is no difference from Nigerian, Ghanaian, or Jamaican beauty. We are all the same race. However, you will be happy to know that other women with different backgrounds receive around 5-8 tips. African people only had about two tutorials thought out the whole book. Good, though there could have been more. If you are African and looking for a makeup book to help you, I would recommend Sam fine's "Fine Beauty" and the DVD "The Basics of Beauty." They are for beginners, but Fine's materials are a lot more helpful for African skin than Brown's provides. Because Brown skimps for African women, it gets three stars. Some chapters are useless, other have less depth, and with so few tutorials, the book is not very helpful. ... show more
