Customer Reviews

It`s ok.
This book is great for a beginner. While reading I found a lot of tips I already knew, and it made me feel good that I was doing my make up right as this was my first makeup book). Maybe 5-10% was a new stuff for me, plus they mention some products I would like to try (with very good reviews online). There`s a lack of images that would show a different techniques and before and after photos. Reading a page how to get a desired look was quite boring. But I guess might be helpful if I would like to achieve a desired make up thanks to those step by step instructions. The only annoying thing was repeating of some tips for 2-3 times, plus a few contradictions mentioned in the other review. I would be happy with this book, but then I got "Making faces" and it`s way more fun to read.

Not Too Bad
Overall this book offers a lot of useful information. What I like about it is that Cohen has provided advice from many different sources. There is a variety of product suggestions; it doesn't seem like someone trying to sell you on their products alone.

I did however find a few contradictions in the book. For example, on one page it will suggest a woman at a certain age refrain from using glitter eyeshadows, and then two pages later, it says to use shimmer for mature lids. Might be kind of confusing for someone who is not familiar with eyeshadow textures.

Another thing I think was kind of bad was when she described someone with a oblong face shape as having a "horse face". When you are writing a book to help people improve their look, and use a negative term to describe a body part, it kind of defeats the purpose. Anyone who works with the public within the beauty industry knows that-or I hope they do!

As with any beauty book, take it with a grain of salt and use what works for you.

excellent book, glam, dewy, shimmer...everything i wanted to know about
this book is great! i've bought many many makeup books (including kevin aucoin, vincent longo, bobbi brown just to name a few) but this book is THE only book to tell me what i wanted to know. it is not a basic makeup book, thank goodness. i'm an aspiring makeup artist and i know the basics, i wanted to learn more about fashion makeup and glitter and jewels and different types of base makeup (dewy, matte)...yeah, all that stuff, and this book has it all! i am finally content with a makeup book. a lot of other books give you some photos but dont tell you exactly how to achieve that glam look, or how to get that glossy eye shadow but this book does. i love it! i can't stress enough how great this book is. it covers everything! even body makeup!! i didnt even get to that part yet but i'll write another review on that. lol. after reading what i did, i was not left feeling...unfullfilled i guess you can say like i was with all the other books. i think i can stop looking, this book has it all, even hair styles. this book is a must have. thank you so much to Juliet Cohen for writing this.
