SPECIALTY SHELF
Makeup Manual - Bobbi Brown (2008)
Jam-packed with tutorials accompanied by brilliant photos, Bobbi Brown's Makeup Manual is a must-have. Separated into the everyday user's guide (the "Basics"), and the professionals section ("Artistry") this manual goes over tools, and separates the face by skin, lips, and eyes. Also included are a nifty 10-step guide to perfect makeup, and specialty makeup tutorials (including bridal, special-occasion, teens, ageless beauty, pregnancy, diversity, and bad-day application). My favourite section was the skin and face tutorials. I learnt how to buy and apply concealer, and what type of face wash and moisturiser I need. I now look forward to better skin and looking flawless (without Photoshop!). (AV)
