Making Up

Rating:
Summary: Beautiful Pictures, Great Advice
Review: I love books that combine beautiful pictures and fashion artistry with common-sense application tips for those of us that might be just a little make-up impaired! I enjoyed Rex Hilverdink's approaches to make-up, I think he makes high fashion entirely accessible to the average, normal woman. And the pictures! Absolutely gorgeous. With tons of work for Vogue and other magazines under his belt, Hilverdink has much, much more to offer to women everywhere. This book is a great start, I enjoyed it immensely.

Summary: Just Basic Advice
Review: This book is really for the true cosmetics novice. I enjoyed the lovely presentation, but this is truly an example of style over substance. In addition, I spoke with a male acquaintance of mine who stated that he was surprised by just how elementary this book's advice is. "Don't most girls learn that from their mothers?" he asked. I would say he is right! Rex shares very little of his knowledge. Only buy this at a greatly discounted price.
