[.ca] Make-Up: Fresh Ideas for Fantastic Looks (ISBN 0743456688)

I agree with the assessment that it is for beginners...:
...because I am one! I have never been that interested in makeup but realize there will come a time when I may need to know how to apply it. I don't really buy the fashion and makeup magazines either, so a book that clearly writes *and* illustrates how to apply makeup is exactly what I need. Other beauty books which are probably intended for the more experienced have written descriptions of the application process or only a picture or two of the finished product; but not this book. Spiral bound, the pages fold out and show the step by step process. As noted in the other review, it is fairly up to date as well, discussing shimmer and other relatively more recent makeup styles. For those who are curious to actually SEE the book itself, it can be usually found on display at The Body Shop for people to flip through.

Good for the young, not for the experienced:
Buying this book for my better half, she was looking for more professional and updated help to go along with her updated fashions. Unfortuanlty, this was not exatcly was she was shopping for. However, that doesn't mean its totally worthless. In fact, if your looking for a book for a beginner, or looking to try different make-ups for the first time-this is your buy. Rather than matching colors with tones, it goes deeply in applying and techniques. Not outdated as it also goes into glitter, shimmers, and even fake eyelashes. As mentioned, great for the beginner and fashionable.
