I own all three of Bobbi's books and she definitely DOES promote her own products in them--in a clever sneaky way! Her colors are named in a way that she can use them to say which color would look...

I thought this was a great introductory book on makeup, or even just for brushing up on some things. I love Bobbi Brown's natural approach to looking beautiful and pretty and looking like yourself....

I guess I'm in the minority here.<p> While this book is not THE BEST in terms of makeup application tips it also is far from being the worst. Bobbi offers some very helpful hints in skincare and...

My mom bought me this book when I was 17 and confused about make-up. It's great if you were like me then and just leaning to use make-up and need advice on simple things like application and have...

I bought this book after checking it out of the library. Ironically, for such a hated book here on MUA, the library version that I consulted had pages missing, leading me to believe that someone...

Checked the book out at the library so I did not waste money. Agree with everyone's reviews. I did not find it helpful either. I'm also not a big fan of Bobbi Brown's makeup line. If you must read...

I must agree with what a lot of other people have said, the book isnt too great. If you want a book to tell you to go natural MANY times & only tell you what NOT to do, get this book. If you dont,...

Have to agree with many other MUA reviewers - this book offers nothing new. The only thing I really liked was the introduction by Bobbi's dad.

If you are a person of color, this book is a waste of your time. Get Sam Fine's book, he knows what he's doing.

It's a book for a woman(not a man) who never wore makeup for her entire life and now on her well let's say 47'th birthday thinking about wearing a little bit makeup might help her. <p> Not for us,...

For a beginner like me, this particular book was very helpful & I'm glad I invested in it. My complaints would be, firstly, that the book is getting dated and needs updating, and secondly, the...

This <i>is</i> a good book, but I agree with most of you... LOTS of rules. But, I'm not really into the "natural" look... I wear bright blue, green, and purple eyeliner, and red lips if I can get...

Well... I just don't know how you can consider this a book about makeup. She repeatedly says that you should go natural here and natural there.... And what she does tell of makeup is never and...

This is only okay. Like other reviewers said, I can't stand her rules like "yellow toned foundation only" and "natural is always the best". I think its okay to take risks. There is some step by...

This was okay. It didn't have very edgy, daring techniques. This is more about makeup basics for an everyday, normal look. She has a lot of rules, like yellow foundation only. Not everyone...

She preaches way to much! I know she favors yellow-toned powder and brown-toned shadow, and that's not a bad thing. I just didn't care for her putting down using navy (or any other color) on the...
