The Make-up Manual: Your beauty guide for brows, eyes, skin, lips and more

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

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.

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

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.

Love this book.

Es un manual básico de maquillajee parece muy completo para principiantes

Fast service and very nice book!

The Make-up Manual is exactly what I was looking for — a clear, step-by-step guide that covers everything from brows and eyes to skin and lips. The instructions are easy to follow, and the illustrations/photos are incredibly helpful for visual learners. I especially loved the tips on techniques I’d never mastered before, like contouring and blending eyeshadow seamlessly. This book works equally well for beginners who want a solid foundation and for more experienced makeup lovers looking to refine their skills. It’s practical, thorough, and has become my go-to reference whenever I want to try a new look. A must-have for anyone serious about makeup!

I really like this book. A little treasure trove of makeup techniques. Definitely worth the purchase.
