USER REVIEWS
"Same old same old information as in his last book. Not worth purchasing if you own his other book. Even uses many of the same models again. Did not pick up any new techniques. Disappointed."

"I liked the advice given on application. As a 37 year old woman, I have found myself putting on more foundation to try to make my skin look better. As most already know, this didn't tend to work as well as I had hoped. I was making myself look older when my intent was to make myself look more polished (and my Lord, where did those ginormous pores come from!?). I had also noticed the eye makeup I was wearing was making me look tired--I have slightly over-plucked brows and dark circles under my eyes, so my age was beginning to show there, too. The step-by-step process aided me in applying better, not more, and the result was a softer yet still polished look. I got a compliment today about how good I looked, even though I was tired from a restless night's sleep. That alone was worth the cost of the book.
The only downside to the book is the pictures. Look closely--these pictures are obviously airbrushed. Also, I think the end result in the photos is unrealistic. These already gorgeous women had their makeup applied by a professional, which probably took 90+ minutes. The photos were immediately taken, and then the photos retouched to remove crows feet, pores, shine, under eye bags, and other imperfections. Nice to sell the book, I suppose, but not really representative of what the average woman should expect to achieve with 10 minutes in the morning and no time to really touch up during the day.
All things considered, I think this is the most helpful advice on cosmetics for the over-35 crowd that I have encountered."

"I feel the book does offer a lot of good information but it is
very detailed, It is too complicated for me to get just an average
over all "how to" approach. I need simple tips to complete what I usually
do for daily make up application."

"I have the book Makeup Makeovers and loved it. I was so excited to hear he was coming out with another book and I couldn't wait to get it. I was so disappointed in it. Like the other writers said it is just a repeat of his other book. Everything about it is the same, except at the end where he has the pictures of the models he has the colors of his makeup he used on them but doesn't mention what makeup line he is using on his models.I was expecting so much more.This book is great if you don't have the book Makeup Makeovers.
At the end of the book he does mention that he travels to 15 cities in a month demonstrating makeup to women which I did not know and he is coming out with a makeup line early next year which I will be looking forward to."
