This book is is gorgeous. Well curated. The models are stunning. Contains super useful info for recreating these looks such as the type of cosmetics used for each era of history, setting patterns for hair styles that are clearly illustrated, step by step instructions for achieving the looks, and cosmetic colors that were popular by era. There is a full chapter on just about every decade in the last (20th) century with at least 6-8 different looks in each chapter. Authentic representations, not modern interpretations. Tons of full color photography. This is the book I have been looking for. A much better tutorial that just about any other book out there. This is what I was hoping I was getting when I ordered Dita VonTeese’s book. This book delivered. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent curation of what defined each era and the technical details of ‘how to do it’
Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2022
Verified Purchase
This was very well written! It covers the technical details of hair and makeup for those who do those things. It more importantly highlights the subtle differences and evolutions of ‘the look’ of each era. Not just technically but also via sharing the history that shaped the looks of each era. Excellent formatting, photography, and readability. Solid five stars for anyone interested in the history, the looks, and/or the ‘how to’ of doing it.

Delivery was not the quickest, but when the book arrived it was a pleasant surprise....
The condition described as “ used, very good “ was in fact absolutely mint condition, the quality of the paper is very high, the quality of the printing is very high, the standard of the photography is very high. Plus it has hard covers.
This wonderful book is easy to negotiate, from 1890s through the decades to 1980s. Worth more than five stars !

Esta bien en general, ameno, informativo (aunque no en exceso. Hecho de menos la explicación de los cortes , algo esencial para poder realizar los peinados de manera correcta. Las imágenes son bonitas pero faltas de explicación de realización.
La época de los 80 , 90 y de principios de siglo, es bastante paupérrima.
El resto bien, no lo retorno por la calidad fotográfica y por curiosidad en general pero esperaba más…
