Book Reviews of Bobbi Brown Beauty
Book Review: Excellent guide for the beginner
Summary: 4 Stars
Almost every topic related to beauty is mentioned. She does have small sections for ethnic beauty, diet/exercise, men's beauty/makeup & special occassion makeup. BB is all about neutral/natural looks so everything she suggests is timeless. Has several chapters devoted to working with your natural beauty & playing up your flaws instead of trying to camoflauge them. Book isn't as visually appealing as many others but makes up for it in the amount of information given. While instructions don't come with visual guides, they are still explained extremely well so that visual aids are really necessary. She has a lot more "don'ts" than I've seen in other books ("Don't wear shimmer blush", etc). In no way does she try to get you to spend a lot of money. She very much advocates a more minimal approach, even to the point of suggesting plastic baggies as makeup bags. She also does not self-promote & even features other makeup lines in her pictures.
I think this is a great reference manual. Excellent book for someone new to makeup or someone who needs to be brought out of a dated look but even the more experienced can pick up a trick or two. One thing I didn't like for me personally was the excessive focus on neutrals.
