Summary: AWESOME BOOK!!
Review: This is a great book whether you are just buying it for yourself or if you are in the cosmetics business. I am a Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant and got to attend one of Robert's workshops (6 hours), and he is fabulous (and VERY funny)!! He is an International Makeup Artist, and everything taught at his workshop is covered in the book. He makes it so easy! He discusses what colors to use on what eye colors, etc..., face shape, eye shape, how to cover up imperfections, etc... He also discusses all the different products used (foundation, powder, concealer, color, skin care, etc...) and how to use them correctly. The book contains LOTS of before and after pictures, all ages, many NOT models with descriptions of their imperfections and how he corrected them. He lists colors too, so you can recreate the looks yourself. If you want to look younger and look beautiful, Robert can show you how. It really is much easier than we all make it seem! :) There is also a video/DVD that is really helpful.

Summary: Fantastic Overview!
Review: This is large-size, full color, fabulous introduction to using makeup to enhance the beauty God gave you! First there is a glossary that defines terms you'll hear in describing makeup and glamour. The next 20 pages are "Product Knowledge"... an overview of what the products are, and how to use them: foundation, concealer, powder, eyebrow liners, mascara, eye liners, eye shadows, blush, bronzer, and lip stick and liners. The next chapter discusses applicators and tells you when to use different types of brushes. Chapter five focuses on color choices for foundation, concealer, powder, eye shadow and liner, blush, and lipstick. Next is an overview of the basic face shapes, then how to prepare the face for makeup. Chapter eight digs deeper into using foundation, concealer, and powder to sculpt and mask the face so as to create the illusion of the perfect oval face shape. Chapter nine focuses on eye shapes and the next chapter gives details on scuplting eyebrows, eye shadows and liners, lashes, cheeks, and lips. Throughout there are "before" and "after" pictures. There are two extra-special features to all the photos: 1) he uses a basic, neutral, color palate for _everyone_ so you can see how the same beautiful and natural shades can be used on everyone. For eyes he uses flesh, beige, gold, taupe, dark taupe, mahogany, golden brown, dark brown, burgundy, and black.
2) As a Mary Kay Beauty Consultant, I love seeing so many National Sales Directors "before" and "after": Arlene Lenarz, Gloria Mayfield-Banks, Sherril Steinman, Sonja Hunter Mason, Karen Piro, Pamela Waldrop Shaw, Jan Harris, Judie McCoy, Lisa Madson, Kathy Helou (and her daughters!), Debi Moore. A "must-have" for any Mary Kay consultant!

Summary: Beaute Made Simple
Review: Very well done. It was not only easy to read but it was easy to follow and reproduce the makeup demonstrated. I could also relate to a lot of the women in the book as they were not all 15 year old supermodels.
