recommended for: needs ideas about make - up

I enjoyed this book. It sort of explained some things about makeup I didn't really know. Although I still can't pull off a smoky eye with out looking like a racoon.

81196 Does she explain why she thinks she can pull off the one-name thing? Personally, I don't think she's nearly badass enough.

104038 hmm.. no she isn't badass at all. I also have no idea why she is a one name person. But on the upside, when she talks about products, she doesn't just rave about the $$$ stuff you'd never shell out $50 for a facelostion type stuff, but also stuff you can get in, say, a CVS.

I'll reread...see if I can locate the Badass-ness.

82183 I think the correct word might be...Badassitude.

I remember reading a book on basic make up stuff a few years ago by Stephanie Seymour - who you might recall was married to Axel Rose.

I was really at a loss about how to apply make up. Especially eye make up. Which I've decided to stay away from because I always rub my eyes.

But I digress. Stephanie Seymour must have written this book before Axel Rose because, I remember this one part where she was talking about how you should eat right and...NOT DRINK. And immediately, the video for November Rain popped into my head. At the table in a restaurant are...Axel, Duff, Slash, and the other guy and then women including Stephanie Seymour and they were all boozin. I don't really have a point. But I felt that her book was a bit disingenuous. I'll try to find it.

104038 Actually according to wikipedia, it is W. Axl Rose. To read about him: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A...

82183 I think I know everything I need/want to know.

Riot-causer.

Whiney Rock Star whose lost his voice. And still thinks he deserves money and riot-causing powers.

Also, he is very dirty.
