Product Description

Ever wonder what it's like to have your own personal team of beauty experts, advising you on how to look and feel knockout-gorgeous every day? Or have you ever questioned what exactly goes on inside the creative minds of beauty industry heavy-hitters? Step into the pages of Sephora, where the top beauty authorities give you access to their private domains. Spend the day with Vincent Longo backstage at fashion week, create red carpet—worthy hair with celebrity hair stylist Oscar Blandi, master the smoky eye with Hollywood's hottest makeup artists, and take a tour of Dr. Nicholas Perricone's kitchen with his refrigerator full of skin-perfecting foods.

In Sephora: The Ultimate Guide to Makeup, Skin, and Hair from the Beauty Authority, fashion and beauty journalist and former Sephora beauty editor Melissa Schweiger personally introduces the people behind some of your favorite brands and fills this gorgeous book with the beauty secrets usually reserved for insiders. Each photo-packed page brims with words of wisdom and expert advice from the creators of and authorities on more than two hundred classic and emerging beauty brands sold at Sephora, including LORAC, Smashbox, Too Faced, Dr. Perricone, Frédéric Fekkai, and many, many more.

Each chapter is designed to mimic a Sephora store's "try everything" vibe while revealing the finest beauty tips and tricks for getting creative with cosmetics. From an A-to-Z glossary of terms and ingredients and a shopping guide to the best products, to detailed explanations of how to properly use cosmetic tools, Sephora is the complete beauty package that no woman will want to be without.

3.0 out of 5 stars Prety Basic April 24, 2008
Size Name:The Ultimate Guide To Makeup, Skin,
This breezy and attractive book is for beginners only. The tips and suggestions contributed by beauty industry luminaries could have just as easily been culled from the beauty sections of major women's magazines. Actual instruction, which includes basic hair, skin, brow and makeup application including the ubiquitous "smoky eye", is minimal and very basic. The book appears designed for young Caucasian females with very little for persons of other races or ages.

The bulk of the book is devoted to products that are, not surprisingly, available at Sephora outlets. Lists of the contributors' favorite products scarcely justify the cost of the book. What works for them may not work for you, although you might be tempted to check out a Sephora store.

If you are thirteen and a makeup newbie, you will most likely enjoy this book. It is beautifully photographed and written in a light, easy style. However, if you wish to take your makeup to the next level or are seeking to address a cosmetic challenge, you will be disappointed.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not What I Thought It Was June 11, 2008
Size Name:The Ultimate Guide To Makeup, Skin,|Amazon Verified Purchase
I ordered this book to help my teenaged stepdaugther see how make-up should be applied. Instead, this was just a big advertisement for Sephora make-up. Granted, I should have expected this based on the title, but I figured there would be more pictures included. But I don't think Sephora should charge any money for a book that is basically advertising for their products. This book should be a hand-out they give in their stores or charge a minimal fee for, but should not be marketed outside their stores. I returned the book for a refund.

3.0 out of 5 stars it's a Sephora catalogue May 13, 2008
Size Name:The Ultimate Guide To Makeup, Skin,
It's an okay book. Great for beginners. Perfect if if you want to know the BRANDS, as this book is loaded with it. Personally, I didn't really learn anything new. I would actually recommend visiting their website and view the how-to videos there instead of buying this book.

If you want to have a makeup book that's focused on how-to's and which-color's, order Makeup: The Ultimate Guide by Rae Morris.

1.0 out of 5 stars Outdated
It would be nice if this book explained technique more, and it is very dated as far as products go. Of course the items are always changing. I wouldn't buy this book if I'd known.

2.0 out of 5 stars Sephora Infomercial
For claiming to be the "Ultimate Guide to Makeup...", this book falls pretty short. It reads more like an infomercial for Sephora than an informative guide. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice Starter Book
This is a great book for someone starting to do their makeup. I'm glad they have pictures of different products one can use to achieve e.g. the bronzing effect. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Not a make-up guide
This book will help you to CHOSE your make up among Sephora products offer. i.e. looks a little like a catalog.
No real tip in there. Read more
