    Synopsis

    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.

    BOBBI BROWN'S MAKEUP MANUAL will be the only book any woman will need to look absolutely fabulous.

    Reference Book for Beginnersby ShortnSimple

    November 23, 2009: If you are in search of basic skincare and makeup basics sprinkled with industry information, then this is the book for you. I have some knowledge of makeup and do rather well with my makeup, so I hoped this book would offer some intermediate and never-before-seen techniques and tips. The book is good with providing BASIC step-by-step directions for makeup application accompanied by easy-to-follow photographs. Also, the second half of the book provides information to those interested in learning about the industry and what makeup stylists actually do. If you're starting a career in this field or are looking for good, BASIC information from an expert in the field, then you will not be disappointed with this book. However, if you are an intermediate to advanced makeup user, then I recommend searching for tips and trade secrets from other sources. Suffice it to say that I will not be keeping my book; I will donate it to a local woman's shelter so it can help someone else blossom.

    July 08, 2009: Makeup manuals are an odd thing to acquire as a 'reference' book. At least it's a novel idea for me. Bobbi Brown clearly knows her way around a makeup palette...She has organized info well, provided good illustrations and generally presents a wealth of info about makeup. While it didn't make me head straight to the looking glass to try out new things, it will come in handy when I need to update a look for evening, or modify makeup for work, etc.
