Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual: For Everyone from Beginner to Pro

Having grown up with little instruction in the skincare area, and in the middle of a dryness breakout (which I've never had before), I purchased this book with the hope of some insight because I already use Bobbi's makeup and it has not failed me yet. There are a lot of books about skincare and makeup out there, many with conflicting opinions. But I put my trust in Bobbi's straightforward and mostly practical approach to natural beauty. Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual is a beautiful, glossy, info packed book for anyone who needs to know or reference the basics. It's not gonna turn you into an esthetician or a makeup artist. But in it Bobbi explains how to find the best products for you - without pushing any skincare line (including her own) - by learning how to analyze your own skin and reading the ingredients on packaging that can often be confusing and/or misleading. Bobbi also covers how to care for your skin, including different ethnic types such as latin and asian, and even discusses things you should keep in your regular diet to promote healthy, dewy skin. With, best of all, specific reasons why. She also covers all the basic makeup techniques for each product type (you apply a gel eyeliner much differently than a pencil, for example) and colors for each skin tone, with variations for taste and occasion purposes. Overall an extremely helpful book, it was instrumental in the much needed revamping of my beauty routine, but also fun in that I learned some new ways to do my makeup!

This book really is a great introduction to correctly applying make up, and it's also a great way to learn more advanced techniques! This book addresses everything from nutrition and how it affects your skin, to finding the right foundation as well as applying concealer correctly. I have tried to apply make up over the years, but I have had a hard time getting everything just right. I used to wear just lipstick when I was younger. As I've gotten older though, the little fine lines and some redness on my cheeks have made it necessary to start using foundation. I would try to match my foundation correctly, but I always ended up getting it either too light or too dark. I spent a ton of money over the years trying to find the right foundation! I am SO thankful that I found this book by Bobbie Brown! It has changed everything! Now I know the right way to find a foundation and to apply it correctly. I also learned the importance of finding the right concealer, the tricks to applying it, and how to set it. This book has made a huge difference for me. I will feel a lot more confident knowing that I can finally walk out the door each day looking my best. I highly recommend this book for anyone who needs to learn more about make up! It will truly change your life! I also highly recommend this book to anyone that would like to learn more advanced techniques, as well as learning about what it takes to become a make up artist. Definitely FIVE STARS!!!

Love this book it is so informative. My granddaughter looks like a supermodel

Growing up, I never really learned how to apply makeup beyond the occasional lip gloss and mascara. This book is great for a novice such as myself, as it goes into great detail while explaining the products used and how to use them. I particularly enjoyed the skin and foundation sections, as those are the biggest problems for me. The book lists the pros and cons of different types of makeup and is very clear in its recommendations depending on your skin type. I have found this to be an invaluable resource when playing around with new looks, and I'm glad to have it around when I need it. It doesn't really delve into unique styles, but that wasn't what I was looking for when I bought the book; I wanted a resource that would create a solid foundation of makeup knowledge that I could use as a base for creating looks of my own. I think this book did just that.

This book is like having a girlfriend who knows everything there is to know about makeup, cleansing, skin care, and hands it to you in a book form. I’d repurchase quickly. It’s a great reference for someone who wants to learn more about applying makeup, skin care, product information and how application technique makes such an impact.

Manuale molto utile, grafica bellissima. Spiegazioni chiare e molte foto descritte Raccomandato per le scuole di estetica o trucco. Contenta

Bobbi Brown Makeup Style excellent book great for beginners explains everything with pictures showing step-by-step explaining why telling secrets and overall just telling why you're doing make up for what reason where when why and how excellent book

It’s a beautiful book and great if you are interested in makeup.

Creo que es un libro muy completo, claro y didáctico, tanto para principiantes como para aquellas personas que ya se movían con cierta soltura en el mundo del maquillaje. La única pega es que no lo editen en castellano, aunque se entiende bastante bien (a excepción de alguna palabra que se puede buscar en el diccionario). Se lo recomiendo a todo aquel que esté interesado en aprender a maquillarse bien y que tenga un nivel medio de inglés.

Es un excelente libro llegó en perfectas condiciones está en inglés pero para mí eso no es un tema trae información muy detallada y útil para mi profesión y mis cursos excelente calidad
