The subtitle of BOBBI BROWN MAKEUP MANUAL indicates it is for the beginner to pro and I’m in the beginner category. All I’m interested in is doing my own makeup well. As a user of Bobbi Brown makeup for over ten years, I wanted to read this book to see what I could improve as formerly I was just applying the makeup as instructed by the BB counter saleswoman instructed me. I didn’t know why I was doing what I was doing until I read this book.

The bulk of the book (the first 138 pages) is designed to be used by both individual women for their own makeup and can also be used by professionals. After giving some brief opinions and recommendations on which products or product types to use on various skin types or for different purposes (such as when to use crème blush versus powder blush for example), clear directions for applying the makeup properly are given in brief text along with full step by step directions. Important to note is that all skin colors and different ethnicities are included. Special techniques for Asians are given such as handling eye makeup. I was happily surprised to see special advice given for women with freckles, the advice is to not cover them up completely but to use special makeup effects that allow them to show through. Also covered is how to handle makeup with skin conditions such as rosacea and others.

A section at the beginning gives information about brush selection, the importance of proper brush maintenance, and the reasons to use high quality brushes. Advice on compiling makeup kits is included, specifically, what items to buy and how to organize them for different purposes (travel, everyday use, and so forth).

I was impressed also with the section about eyebrows and eyelashes.
I bought this book hoping for more but Bobbi Brown did not deliver.

PROS:
-This book has beautiful product photographs
-Ms. Brown’s blush application technique produces WONDERFUL results
-Lovely models of all colors showcase the diverse range of what beauty really is
-Concealer/corrector application technique also is great
-Final section for would-be makeup artists is insightful and well put together

CONS:
-All of the sections are unfortunately short: Biggest problem really. For example, her foundation application was not helpful. She provides "step photos" with captions but they could really be more helpful. She could have went into detail at each step. All women would love to know how she gets those photo ready results on the models.
-Her eyeshadow techniques are a joke. Ms. Brown suggests using a "base eyeshadow" before applying your real makeup look. In reality, a good primer on the lids that dries translucently is a much better choice, not an extra shadow that will undoubtedly change the rest of the colors.
-She doesn’t provide any names of the products photographed, which I thought was a real letdown. There were a lot of beautiful colors that I wanted to know MORE about!
-Some of her skincare tips are suspect. For example, she suggests that those with oily skin don’t really need moisturizer after the face is washed. Not having a properly moisturized face will only make skin more oily. Believe me, I know!

Bobbi Brown’s "Makeup Manual" really was not a very good manual at all. She proved that she really is much better at face and cheeks than eyes and creativity. She stated within that she wished that she had a book like her own when she was starting out. I ask, why?
