I found this book useless. Very short, confusing explanations of product types and color guides. Everything is illustrated with pictures of her own products--do you want to pay money for an advertisement?

The Bobbi Brown or Kevyn Aucoin books would be more helpful than this if you want to learn how to apply makeup.

I got this book as a present from my brother and I loved it. It is so help. It tells you the correct brushes and tool needed for the right application. It has a great section on trying to figure out what shape of face you have, what tone is your face and the type of face you have. I really recommend getting this book, especially if your a beginer.

I think this is an excellent book for anyone interested in cosmetics and who wants to learn some basic techniques for applying make-up. What I loved most about this book was it discussion of how your face's color tone and shape should impact the way in which you apply make-up. It was has a great section on contours and shading. Most other make-up application books don't discuss those types of things. Quant also uses a large number of bright colors and shades, which although a little outdated, was different and attention grabbing. This book was well worth the money.

I'm a mom with four daughters. I was never that into make up, but one of the girl's needed guidance about products, colors, and skin care. This book helped her. It also gave her information she can use in drawing faces and characters. She is an art student.
