  • A great book that tells you detailed makeup technics...
If you're like me, you will read negative reviews so I'd like to address a few that I read (because I honestly didnt expect to see any for this book). 1) this book, if a "Pro" purchased it, is NOT a pro book. It's covering extreme basics and as a "PRO" you should know those before calling yourself one. So rating a book on your inability to distinguish what the book is, that's on you. 2) "heavy application" yeah, a makeup book that shows you how to apply makeup is going to be a bit more detailed than the "natural look" which IS covered in here. I personally use the "bronzed look" every day nearly. I like a more natural look for day. 3) the book covers not just technique but gets into detail about what brush to use where which is key to achieving looks. 4) most of the looks are for evening wear. They're dark and playful BUT if you have an kind of creativity, you can create lighter versions of the looks. It's not a Holy Bible, it's suggestions. PLAY! 5) the "pro" who wouldn't put tape on to create an edge or wouldn't allow her clients to sleep in makeup to make a smudged look... Ummmmm really? I want your name so I can avoid you at all costs since you're clearly more opinionated than sensible. The book NEVER said to have a client sleep in makeup. It was addressing the "day after" a night out and how to make yourself presentable. If you were very smart, you'd have realized this book is for me, the average woman. Not a "pro" who really isn't a pro. And tape isn't unsanitary. It's tape. Your makeup brushes are far more unsanitary than tape no matter how much you clean them. But you're right, you're the "pro" and you know way more than Rae Morris who gets paid top dollar to do makeup rather than read about it. So, if you're looking for a great book that tells you about makeup technics in detail and want some easy to follow options for looks and how to achieve them, this is it. I gave the "eyes" version to my daughter. She loves it. ... show more

  • Possiblity The Last Make Up You Will Ever Buy.
I have been reading/buying beauty books by various make up artists for the past 25 years, and this is one that stands apart from the rest. What impressed me a lot was Rae's knowledge on brushes, makeup-up products, and techniques, information that I never found in the other makeup books. In fact, in reading the other makeup books, I got the impression that makeup artists only give you the obvious, basic techniques because they dont want to spill their secrets, but rest assured that with Rae, that doesn't happen! She freely shares her knowledge in this book, and demonstrates it, which is something that I, who can't afford a world renown artist to work on my face, really appreciates! ... show more

  • Amazing book!!!
If you buy this book be prepared to possibly discover how little you knew about makeup application and that you have been doing everything wrong for decades like I did. I read this book from cover to cover and it is an awesome book. The author somehow manages to pack extremely valuable information in relatively short passages. The written material is succinctly written and I found very little if any extraneous information. I wouldn't say it's something similar to "Make-up for Dummies" if it exists but the instructions are very easy to follow. The book is separated into chapters by the order of make-up application such as "Skin Prepping", "Eyes", "Foundation", etc. The "Eyes" chapter is amazing with so many different make-up looks and as I said, the instructions are relatively easy to follow. If you're concerned about time constraints, don't be. I'm a fairly low-maintenance woman and I spent very little time applying makeup when I did apply it. I count on spending anywhere from an extra 5-10 minutes a day depending on the look I'm choosing which isn't very significant when I consider the vast improvement in my look. The author does make frequent suggestions on how to avoid spending an exorbitant amount of money on make-up and/or supplies which is very useful particularly for budget-minded individuals such as myself. I could really go on and on about how great this book is. I actually feel more confident going out now (yes, pathetic but true). It was money very well spent and I can't recommend it enough! ... show more

This is a very well-written book with fantastic pictures. I bought it for my 14-year-old daughter for Christmas, as she loves making makeup tutorial videos for YouTube. Unfortunately, YouTube is full of "gurus" who really don't know what they're talking about, and I didn't want my daughter to be one of them. She has learned a lot from this book and has been able to share this knowledge. I even learned new things. A highly respected makeup artist reviewed this book on YouTube, and I bought it based on his recommendation. ... show more

  • What a gem!!!
Great book! Picked it up at my local library and instantly fell in love!! I had never heard of Rae Morris, but I immediately had to add this to my collection. Wonderful collection of achievable looks, with added step-by-step photo instructions. The book is well written, and has a lot of useful tips that I find many books do not have. As a makeup artist, I really related to this book and found it extremely helpful. So, I definately recommend picking this book up if you are an artist looking to sharpen your skills, or even someone who is just looking to experiment with different looks. It's a winner! ... show more
