Review

Dear Victoria Bush, I read your book and took the Master Eyebrow Design Specialist test which I already mailed to you along with a self-addressed stamped envelope few days ago. I am a permanent makeup artist. I must admit that I didn't find another book like yours which is so informative and helpful. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Sincerely, Dusty Blackwell

5.0 out of 5 stars The most complete book on the topic, June 8, 2008

This review is from: How to Create the Perfect Eyebrow (Paperback)

I don't understand the reviewer who said that this book is vague. If anything, it contains a level of instruction that is far more detailed than most ordinary people need or want. That's not a criticism. The book is very useful for a layperson, but it is written for a professional in training. It is a textbook on the eyebrow, complete with chapter quizzes, published by an educational publisher. Yes, it might be nice to see color rather than black-and-white photographs, but most cosmetology students are not well-off and using color photos in a textbook increases the price to students. This book is unique. Instead of relying on simple formulae and photos of famous women as some other brow books do, Bush treats the perfect eyebrow as a thing that is unique to each individual. Their other facial features and their goals for their facial appearance determine the direction that their brow-shaping should take. Extremely detailed how-to instructions are included, but to use them it is helpful to read all of the chapters in order. Using the book effectively demands more patience and attentiveness from the reader than does a simpler approach, but if you can do that, then you will learn much more than with any other book on this topic. It will be most useful to someone working in one of the aesthetic occupations (e.g., makeup artist, tatoo artist) who needs to create the ideal eyebrow for a variety of individuals. But it's not expensive, so even if yours are the only brows you will ever shape, it's an unbeatable investment in a truly useful beauty tool.

1.0 out of 5 stars A disappointment, October 11, 2006

This review is from: How to Create the Perfect Eyebrow (Paperback)

This book was a huge disappointment. It was very basic and very vague. For example, it would tell you to shape the brow to make their face look longer or shorter, but it wouldn't tell you how to shape the brow in order to do that. All the pictures were small, in black and white, and it was hard to see any detail. I kept on reading on, hoping that I was going to get to the good stuff, but the good stuff never came. I truly felt like I learned nothing and it was supposed to be an instructional book. A waste of money. I was debating returning it, but it doesn't seem worth it to go to the post office and have to pay for shipping it back.

5.0 out of 5 stars In-Depth Information, October 23, 2006

This review is from: How to Create the Perfect Eyebrow (Paperback)

This book is great for understanding how to shape a brow that best suits your face. I believe it is intended for use as a text book in cosmetology and esthetics courses, but it provides great in-depth information for styling your brows. If you're seriously interested in learning what styles and shapes suit your face type this is the book for you. I was thourougly satisfied.
