Description

A comprehensive make-up manual that details all aspects of make-up application, solutions to common problems, as well as tips and tricks for perfecting your look every time. Starting with Skin Secrets, make-up artist Lisa Potter-Dixon teaches you everything you need to know about skincare and perfecting your base. In Beautiful Brows, Lisa explains how to enhance your brows, before styling a Natural, Full, Ombre, and Feathered look. In Go with the Glow, she explains why we add color and takes a look at Contouring, Strobing, Blushing, and Bronzing. In The Eyes Have It, things really get interesting, with looks for Smoky, Colorful, Nude, Smudged, and Glittery Eyes. And in Luscious Lips, Lisa helps you understand the difference between types of lipsticks, pencils, glosses, and all that's in between before teaching you how to achieve the perfect lip, no matter what your style. Finally, Lisa offers up Looks to Dazzle, from Extreme Glitter to using sequins, feathers, and transfers, as well as enhancing your look with accessories. Whether you’re looking for a fun and youthful, elegant and sophisticated or one-off look, Lisa will show you how to make the most of your facial features and complexion in this Make-up Manual.

  • Awesome Makeup Book
This is an awesome makeup manual. Beautiful pictures, clear step by step instructions, and really tells you how to “create” a made up face. I recommend finding a highly rated makeup artist (MUA) in your area (look for artists that work on commercials, advertisements, brides, etc. and has a portfolio of work online) and taking a makeup class with him/her. Working with a MUA who is independent and not working for a store or particular brand means that the MUA can tell you about their favorite products and recommend products that are long-lasting, effective, fits your skin type, is color matched for you, will hold up in humid weather (MUAs who work on brides during the summer know this challenge), etc. After that session, use this book to help reinforce what you learned and to remind you of tips and tricks. This is a great book for someone who wants to learn more about makeup without being overwhelmed with too much information. Makeup takes a lot of practice. I found that I had to learn how to “see” my face and see what is in front of me instead of what I want to see. Taking selfies from different angles can help give you an idea of what your makeup looks like. Keep practicing, ask questions, read this book, look on YouTube for specific makeup techniques, use a light/gentle hand, and use less rather than more. ... show more

  • Perfect gift for a teen
I bought this for my granddaughter who is just starting to use makeup. It gives you all the basics of applying and wearing cosmetics. A great learner's manual.

  • Best makeup book ever!
I have an afraid to count number of makeup books- started with Kevin Aucoin’s when he was still alive. This makeup book is hands down the most useful- for the beginner or wanna be MUA. She had advice that I have never read. She has a great way of explaining why. She has only been an MUA for twelve years, and it’s easy to see why she went straight to the top. ... show more
