Bobbi Brown Teenage Beauty: Everything You Need to Look Pretty, Natural, Sexy and Awesome

"I got this book hoping it would be better than the other Bobbi Brown book I bought and it was just as bad. I mean we get it everyone is beautiful in their own way, but as the title says "Everything You Need To Look Pretty, Natural, Sexy and Awesome." I really learned absolutely nothing. I don't want a book that preaches to think beautiful, I want a book that will show you how. I know Bobbi Brown is an amazing make up artist, but her books have been very disappointing."

"but this is NOT a makeup guide. It's a pep talk about having good self esteem and good hygiene. I can get that from my parents. There are a few tips, but they are only useful if you have absolutely NO idea what to do with makeup. Don't waste your money."

"...then you should buy this book. I received this book as a gift when I first started makeup, supposedly to teach me how to use it. Instead of concrete tips about applying eyeliner and which way to stroke on my mascara, I was hit with a barage of self-esteem building tripe and stern instructions not to try experimental makeup unless my friends said it looked okay. I am glad I was not the one paying retail prices for this book."

"This book was almost a complete waste of time. Why almost? It offered a few good tips for teenagers who are beginning to use makeup (emphasis on the "few"). However, not everyone wants the natural look, and not every teenager is a beginner. Also, Bobbi tends to overgeneralize and neglects to consider the self-esteem of those who have blonde hair and blue eyes (like me). I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone, even beginners. There are books written by makeup artists who don't want to be the Hitler of the makeup world."

"This book is truely a great make up boook for teens. Definetly a good book for beginners. Of course, if u are already a girl that reads fashion/beauty magazines, then there isnt anything new here...

Bobbi Brown encourages teens to love themselves. In fact, she dedicates an entire chapter for this. I am Chinese and i guess I've always hated my appearence(black hair, black eyes. UGH! so dull) But i guess i've started feeling better about myself ever since i read the chapter about asian girls. There is also a chapter for african americans and latino girls.

I think that if you are a mom, this would make a great gift for your daughter because you wont have to worry about your daughter masking her face cimpletly with make-up. Bobbi brown encourages teens to not use make up like that.....

There's a section for eyes, nose,lips. They have really made me feel better about myself. The same with girls body frames.There is a particular section there. She assures girls that are big-boned or with slow metabolisms that in other countries being overweight is considered attractive. The same with tall,short,or skinny girls! She even gives fashion tips to help flatter your figure.

There are all the beauty things youll need to know. Perfume,hair,eyes,nose,zits,make up tecniques, different "looks" etc. etc.

Today i have lent the book to me best friends, if she damages it. SHE 's a DEAD girl!
