Cindy Crawford's Basic Face

Rating:
Summary: Nice if you need only the *very* basics
Review: Though this book is attractive enough and comes spiral-bound (great when you're trying to read it and follow application instructions), I'd recommend it only if you've absolutely never used makeup before. The instructions and advice are extremely basic, almost to the point where you'd need another book to supplement this one. Kudos to Cindy for appearing in the photos sans makeup, but some of the 'oh-she-doesn't-look-so-great-without-makeup-either' effect is diluted by the fact that she looks nearly perfect even without wearing cosmetics. For more in-depth instructions on makeup and application, try Beauty Secrets for Dummies and The Beauty Bible by Paula Begoun.
