“Classic Makeup and Beauty” by Mary Quant was really helpful for me because I got to learn more about techniques that will be useful to me in the future. I really liked how there were lots of images in this book to help me understand the text. Although some of the information was a little hard to understand because I read different information in another book and sometimes it doesn’t match up. I also liked how there were different kinds of looks that I could recreate. My mom’s friend who works in the makeup business gave me this book and she said that it will be helpful to me. I recommend to even girls who want to learn a little more on makeup and how it is applied.

Very, very 1998. Burgundy everywhere. Also, a solid beginners manual. In the style of DK publications, there are a lot of nice pictures and diagrams.
