This review is from: YourMakeUp - Simple Steps to Amazing Looks (DVD)

This is the third instructional makeup DVD I bought and it is far and away the best. The others PALE in comparison. What really makes this one amazing is the fact that the artists giving the instruction are the best in the business. These people regularly work on A-List celebrities.

I have only had it for a day and I've already learned a TON! I highly recommend this DVD!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Brush With Success, February 6, 2006

This review is from: YourMakeUp - Simple Steps to Amazing Looks (DVD)

I would definitely have to disagree with the woman from Canada because I found this video very informative. In fact, I've saved more than $1,600.00 so far by bypassing expensive sales pitches at makeup counters. The superstar makeup artists have great tips and demonstrate makeup techniques in clear detail-much better than in the stores. I would rather learn these skills sitting on my own sofa and practice on myself instead of going to Macy's or Bloomingdales or other department stores to learn.

A real classy video.

This review is from: YourMakeUp - Simple Steps to Amazing Looks (DVD)

I almost didn't buy the DVD after reading Cheri's review but then I went for it and boy, am I glad I did! this is NOT a DVD for professionals, which is exactly what I was looking for!! I wanted useful, practical advice to improve my makeup. And this DVD gave me all that and more! It's great and I especially liked the fact that there are 3 well-known celebrity makeup artists. This DVD really has something for everybody, I threw a party last weekend for my girlfriends and we had a blast! We were able to follow the directions and apply the makeup for each of us! I don't know what the problem of the reviewer was, of course it's not for professionals, if you are a makeup artist you're supposed to know these things already! Bottom line, it's a great find and worth every penny!
