2.0 out of 5 starsDisappointed
By K. A. Peck on January 7, 2002
Format: Paperback
If you're looking for some average everyday faces to feel like you fit in......don't look here.....
I had high hopes I'd learn alot from Bobbi.....unfortunately she really did not succeed at passing on her proficient make up application skills. I hadn't seen the book at all before ordering so I had no idea what to expect. I had hoped she was going to take the typical modern woman like myself (average 35 yr old)and step us through some make up application. Instead ...the book is filled with pictures of Magazine cover models ..mostly under 25 who've never known fine lines and the struggles of applying foundation on wrinkled skin. Not to mention that Bobbi has lots of photos of women bearing the kinds of make up application techniques.....she says she doesn't advocate..such as eyeliner on the inner rims..
Overall....I didn't come away feeling like I got my money's worth....I did however learn some perspective on Bobbi personally..and although I found that interesting...it won't help me look any better tomorrow... sorry Bobbi!

3.0 out of 5 starsRather disappointing
By Leanne TOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on August 3, 2006
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I bought this book based on the recommendation of my sister-in-law, who has worked at several department-store makeup counters. She said that Brown's book had a lot of really great information, especially for a novice makeup wearer like me. However, I found the book to be lacking in specific techniques for applying makeup.

Some sections were fairly thorough, but most (especially the section on doing eye makeup) remained at a really general level. The only main piece of advice I got from the book is to wear yellow-based foundation, concealer, and powder. A lot of the other information Brown gives is just too general; using some diagrams and showing color variations would have made it much more practical.

Last year, I purchased Sonia Kashuk's _Real Beauty_, and I definitely recommend that book over this one. Kashuk's book shows detailed photos of her makeup techniques so you can really see how a professional makeup artist applies makeup.

I wanted to like Brown's book, but found it not as helpful as I hoped it would have been!

5.0 out of 5 starsThe most useful make-up book I'd ever read.
By A Customer on August 30, 1999
Format: Paperback
I also have other beauty books, like "Making Faces", "Beauty Bible","The Art of Makeup". But I find, this one is the most useful!! Maybe the other book have very beautiful or even dramatic pics, but are those looks suitable for everyday-beauty? I don't think so. Whatever your are new or expert of makeup, this book is worthy to buy and read again, and again! All the basic techniques and ideas will help you to create your OWN beauty style for an elegant, won't-updated look.

5.0 out of 5 starsA Beauty Resource for the Rest of Us!
By Hyacinth Tucker on October 30, 2000
Format: Paperback
I'm not a makeup maven, not by a long shot. Up until last week, I was a stay-at-home mom who knew very little past a little lipstick and the absolute basic brushes. I picked "Beauty" up because I was interested in sprucing up my look a bit for when I do leave the house, for church, various special occasions and errand running. Just because I spend a good portion of my time indoors doesn't mean I have to look like I just rolled out of bed when I go out. I'm still a stay-at-home mom, but my look more closely reveals how wonderful I feel on the inside. "Beauty" addresses the basics of make-up, from tools, to easy application, to how-and where-to shop for make-up. Bobbi also talks at length about loving the looks that God gave you. There are separate chapters on Black, Asian, and Latina beauty, as well as wedding day beauty (oh that I had this book on MY wedding day four-and-a-half months ago!) and make-up for photography and television. When they say ULTIMATE, they weren't kiddin'. This is a good reference for beginners and the experienced alike. My husband is a theatrical make-up artist, and even he found a little useful information. This is a comprehensive, not to mention concise, addition to any beauty library. I made a very smart buy!

5.0 out of 5 starsA very good, basic book for a "pretty," natural look.
By A Customer on October 22, 1997
Format: Hardcover
An excellent basic book for those who don't know a whole lot about makeup as well as for those who do. The emphasis here is on attaining a natural, finished application look without the obvious "Ah, she's wearing makeup!" A comprehensive guide, it covers everything from moisturizing, to cleansing, to sun protection, to why not to use white eyeliner.
For those people looking for more "fun" and "experimental" looks, though, I would recommend Kevyn Aucoin's _Making Faces_ instead.

3.0 out of 5 starsBasic book with good information, might be useful for some..
By A Customer on July 10, 2001
Format: Paperback
Bobbi Brown Beauty is a basic book for learning to love and take care of yourself. The main focus is making yourself look presentable and "naturally beautiful" without using lots of makeup. It tells you what you'll need for glowing skin, and includes application instructions for day and night makeup, which all take under 20 minutes-practical and easy. Basically, the focus of this book is functional "no-nonsense" makeup- the basics on skin care, brushes, tons of tips and instruction on makeup (all natural), what to spend most of your money on, and general care of yourself (healthy diet, etc..).
I was looking for a fun book that I could play around with. Bobbi Brown Beauty lacks variety , and is basic and boring if what you're looking for is fun, glamorous, made up looks --which is why I only rated it three stars. Look to this book if you love the no-makeup look, are pressed for time, or have never worn makeup before and need a place to start. (This is a great starting place). ...
