These days, more and more people are careful about what products they use on their skin. With this attractively photographed beauty guide at hand, they'll never have to wonder anymore about those 10-syllable ingredients that appear on the label of commercial brands. Instead they'll whip up their own professional-quality, all-natural make-up at a fraction of the cost. It takes no special skills to follow the recipes; all the necessary information on equipment and supplies is right in the introduction. The products come in a wide variety of shades so there's something for all skin colors. And there's information about pigments and fun additions for lipstick, base, mascara, shadow, and more--plus suggestions for creating a great party look.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent book - perfect for beginners to experienced home-makeup chemists,

This review is from: Creative Faces: Make Your Own Makeup (Paperback)
This is a beautifully presented book, with gorgeous photo images. The recipes are easy to use, the ingredients mostly easy to find and natural. I would have appreciated just a little more information on color blending, but I plan to do my own experimenting anyway. Excellent job. Highly recommended.

Limited information,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Creative Faces: Make Your Own Makeup (Paperback)
Very limited information
Lots of pretty pictures but all the formulas use the same basic ingredients which include talcum, wich some people do not use and Constarch and magnesium stearate which I am allergic to. There are no alternatives given and the same ingredients throughout the book. If you can use these ing. you might like this book. She uses potato starch, what? It is all very simplistic and realy short of information. There are no preservatives used in some cream and lotion formulas that contain water. She does use prabens and germaben II (preservatives) for other items. Some of the oil based formulas do not have an antioxidant added and therefore have a shorter shelf life. Some formulas do not need antioxidants, but I like to add them to help prevent rancidity. There are a lot of color ideas, but with measurments given as "a few grains", it is hard to achieve consistency. However with so few books out there on how to make mmu, this one might work for you if you are new to mmu and are ok with the ing. she uses.

Not as informational as I would've liked,

This review is from: Creative Faces: Make Your Own Makeup (Paperback)
This book is full of colorful pictures, but I'm afraid short on the information I hoped to find within. If you are just begining to make your own cosmetics, this MIGHT have information you can use; however, for the person hoping to find new information concerning formulas, etc., no such luck.
