Crafty Girl: Makeup

Rating:
Summary: Helpful
Review: This book is very helfpul for beginners. It tells you what colors are good for your complexion,which is NOT always obvious when you're just beginning. With basic pointers on achieving a Healthy Glow to Screen Queen look. It's a very fun book, and although it's obviously old news to an old pro, It's called Crafty GIRL for a reason. It's for beginners who don't know how to put on make-up in a way that looks nice.So if your wondering how to look as natural as possible, or be Cleopatra's double,(see Cleopatra look, page 97) This book is for you!

Summary: Not worth it
Review: This book might be OK for beginers, but for everone else it is not worth buying. it repeats things a lot of stuff and states the obvious (like if you are using a powder blush you don't need to dust loose powder all over your face. duh). Also some of the things it suggests you make are little more than common sense and for the lip gloss recipies they sugest that you can use an empty film canister for a constaner. DO NOT DO THAT!!! There are chemicals in film canisters that can hurt you, even if you wash it out first. Some of the looks ideas it gives you are obivous and similar. With the natural looks, they only change 1-2 things, like eye liner or no eye liner.
