Rating: 4/5 Won-derfuls (I loved it)

 

I loved a lot of things about this book. First, it was immediately apparent that there were a variety of faces in this book. The many face shapes and skin tones made it a much more inclusive book than many. There were tips throughout to accentuate whatever features a woman's lovely face has. 

Second, the beginning of the book had great information. Different types of makeup and tools were described. Recommendations were made for building up one's makeup supply with the right products. This was really helpful to me because my makeup experience is next to nil. I felt like I had a good enough grasp to move into the actually tutorials. 

I put the lessons listed to good use. I used them to complete my makeup for a wedding I was in and for the save the date pictures for my own wedding. It is nice to have a handbook to be able to choose out of and then have the right information to complete the look.

I don't think I would complete any of these for my every day look because there is a lot that goes in to the contouring and it is just not a priority to me. However, I will use this for all kinds of special occasions and for nights out.

On a different note, these looks certainly took me much longer than it said, but with practice I know I will speed up. I also did not want to spend the money to buy a whole new set of makeup, so I purchased a few essentials and moved forward with what I already had. Over time I can build up and be able to complete more of the looks in the book.  

If you are looking for a great reference book for complete makeup makeovers, look no further. Natural to dramatic, you will find it all here. Jones is very talented and I think it is just fabulous that he will share his knowledge. It makes me want to be famous so that he will come do my makeup! Check the book out. I think you'll like what you see.
