USER REVIEWS

"I bought this book expecting to find new make up tricks, the ultimate products for skin care and top professional advices,combine with some basic info as an orientation to newcomers, but besides the stunning photos (with no credit about who the make up artists, models and photographers are) the info is not as interesting as depicted in the promotion and it looks to me more like a catalog than a beauty and make up book...only the prices were missing..."

"This book contains general make up tips and plenty of product recommendations. The book is visually appealing with plenty of large pictures and product photos. I am a cosmetics addict who can spend plenty of time in Sephora so I found this book interesting but not full of any new make up tips or ideas. "

"I ordered this book to help my teenaged stepdaugther see how make-up should be applied. Instead, this was just a big advertisement for Sephora make-up. Granted, I should have expected this based on the title, but I figured there would be more pictures included. But I don't think Sephora should charge any money for a book that is basically advertising for their products. This book should be a hand-out they give in their stores or charge a minimal fee for, but should not be marketed outside their stores. I returned the book for a refund."

"I bought this book knowing that it was going to be one huge ad. But i thought it would have would a tome of enlightenment. Well it wasn't. Basically if you want to go from blah to pretty get you eye brows plucked put on some eye shadow, mascara lip gloss. In order to become a glamazon put on some lip color, make eyes look smokey get your hair blow dried. The give you a few ways to fake a few issues, and say what to try(red lipstick, blowdrying your hair). This book is far from ultimate. "
