The Make-up Manual: Your beauty guide for brows, eyes, skin, lips and more Hardcover – Illustrated, October 8, 2019

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.

Bought as a gift got my niece who’s a preteen and experimenting with wearing makeup. Such a great tutorial volume. Spiral bound, gilded edge, great pictures. I’m going to get one for myself too :)

This book was well received, is well-written and has lots of practical tips, was purchased as a gift for a young woman.

Good read

Amazing! ABSOLUTELY recommend. Simple instructions with step by step images

very expensive for a small makeup book - it is not a manual as it does not adequately illustrate the usage of the makeup and techniques. good intro perhaps but you will need another book to get you there.

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.

Great book about skin care and makeup. Very informative and has step-by-step ways to apply makeup etc. Very colorful and has a lot of pictures.
