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.

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!

This book is more inspiration than instruction. Yes, there are step by step instructions and sections on specialty issues, ie, oriental eyes, some makeovers of older women, but essentially the book assumes a certain level of proficiency. That being said, her contouring and highlighting photographs are well worth the price of the book. (Remember to blend.) There are some color charts and tips and at least this author isn't afraid to recommend false eyelashes. The photographs are largely editorial with an emphasis on eyes. Again like couture, it is not for everyday wear but provides a creative impulse to integrate. I liked that she included the older ladies (also lovely model specimens) with assist to their issues. (I also thought it was a major cautionary tale about sun damage.) I would have like to see greater diversity especially regarding age and profession (non-models please). Yes, those fifteen year olds have pefect skin and are totally unblemished by either time or experience. No challenge there. But find the beauty in the imperfection and make it work. Again a fun book to look at with some valuable tips and charts.

I just got this book yesterday and I've already almost finished it, the pictures are beautiful and very realistic, I love that they didn't photoshop the crap out of them because it lets you see all of the actual detail of the makeup! Rae Morris is an amazing artist, and the step-by-step guides are simple and very helpful. Some of the stuff I already knew, but she does have some fantastic tips and new ways of applying certain makeup! This is a great book for someone who is really interested in pursuing a career in makeup, or for someone who simply wants to get better at it and learn how to do looks that are more unique than the average natural makeup look. Great way to break out of that shell, though some might find some of these looks to be a bit extreme, I would say that the majority of them are actually very wearable! Well written book, would definitely buy her other books!

So as a person of Colour (like Iman or slightly darker) I was more than disappointed to see that there was NOT even one Dark model. The darkest model was barely as dark as JLo. There was a chapter on Asian eyes with 4 looks. There was also a chapter on "Over 40s" with 5 looks. This was slightly helpful since my mother is over 40 and slightly lighter. They do have good tips and a eye colour chart which is probably the most usable thing for a person of dark skin (though the chart is more about eye colour than skin). The are 25 eye looks but not much lips (but more like 1 picture and some helpful tips). There is also a section on 10 minute makeovers with 6 looks. There are a FEW TIPS on foundation, contouring, highlighting, bronzing and applying false eyelashes. There are definitely lost of pictures though there is a step by step layout there is not much step by step explanation for a very novice learner but with practice (which is / will be needed) you will get the hang of it.

this is a fantastic makeup book for anyone. it mainly focuses on modern wearable looks-but they are still interesting and unique. i wish there were a few more advanced eye techniques. also there are color charts on the best complementary eye shadow colors for your eye color. this was nice, as it included shades i normally wouldn't try-BUT it would have been nice if she did a look for each eye color using the recommended colors. if i were assign it a level-it would be intermediate. the contouring section is great and most of her advice is good. however, there's some repetition at times that seems unnecessary. the pictures are beautiful and inspiring. i have read a LOT of makeup books and this definitely one of the best. i'd rank it up there with kevyn aucoin's.

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!

Very useful book - I felt like the author doesn't have a very good understanding (or just doesn't care) about sanitary/ safe practices for skincare or especially caring for your eyes, as she consistently suggests using eyeliner on the inner eye which can cause severe inflammation and infection, but the book really is vey informative and gives a lot of awesome tips. I wish I could give a 4.5 star because this really is a good read. If you want to learn about skin care and natural beauty techniques I suggest Bobbi brown's makeup manual as Bobbi is very passionate about taking care of you body in order to bring a healthy glow to your skin.
