The African-American Woman's Guide to Successful Make-Up and Skin Care

Summary: A big no no..... ALMOST NO PICS
Review: I have to disagree with the other reviewers. As someone just trying to learn how to apply makeup I didn't find this book helpful at all. I especially didn't like the use of drawings instead of pics. You can draw whatever you like but it's not the same as looking at a pic of someone who is supposed to have small close set eyes... you all know what I mean. I don't think this is a good book for the novice and that includes the skin care tips. Wash your face twice a day and don't use drying products. There that should take care of the cleansing routine and I have saved you some money to boot..... I expected better than this.

Summary: Love this book!
Review: I purchased Fornay's book recently and I haven't put it down. Since I travel a lot, it's always with me. I read on the plane, in my room and whenever I can . I've learned so much about skin care and make-up techniques, especially for my skin and coloring. The compliments keep coming and I am assured that I look great. The African American Woman's Guide to Successful Make-up and Skin Care is the best book ever published on this topic. I am a proud owner!

Summary: Very detailed!
Review: I was thrilled by all of the information that I received in "The African-American Women's Guide to Make-up and Skin Care". As a fashion and beauty consultant (Fashion-beauty.com), model and television host, I do extensive research on the subject of make-up and skin care. I love to share my information and I will definitely share this title with everyone that I encounter. Fornay has not spared any details for women who want to learn more about the care and enhancement of their skin. Thank you - Mr. Fornay!

Summary: Good basic information but not what I was looking for
Review: This is an excellent skin care guide but I think the reason some were disappointed was due to the fact we wanted to see great looks and get the info on how to recreate them ourselves. A better book for this is Kevyn Aucoin's "Making Faces". Its not "by us for us" but he tells you how to recreate looks step by step and has some really great glamour looks and pointers. I do recommend this book as a how-to guide for skin care. It's great for women starting to wear makeup or for anyone who never received the basics on skin care. For someone looking for more sophisticated looks or make up application...look elsewhere.
