Since the holiday season is coming up (I’m already in the holiday spirit!) I thought I should start posting on some ideas for holiday gifts.
I think a beauty book would be a great gift for those girls in your life who are starting out with makeup. In my circle of friends we all started getting beauty books or starter makeup kits around our 14 birthday (except me!!!) Or you could show them my Makeup 101 series. Ha! ;-)
Anyways, Bobbi Brown has come out with a brand new book, Makeup Manual. It has EVERYTHING you need to know from her 25 years of makeup experience, whether you’re a beauty fool or an expert. ;-)
Bobbi looks at everything from skincare basics to every aspect of facial makeup–from how to find the right color and type of foundation for any skin tone to how to apply every detail of eye makeup (Brows, Eye Liner, Eye Shadow, and Eye Lashes) no matter your eye color and shape.
Of course there are never-before-seen tips on blush, bronzer, lip liners, lipstick, etc. Each chapter has thorough step-by-step basic directions for makeup application and easy-to-follow photographs and line drawings, along with Bobbi’s expert, yet assuring, advice.
Plus, there’s a groundbreaking section of the book that will be of special interest to women who’ve wanted to know how makeup stylists do what they do: the top beauty secrets only these artists know, essential equipment to keep on hand, how to break into the business, and how to work with photographers and celebrities.
I’m definitely going to check this one out. I was tempted to buy the one released by Sephora earlier this year, but I flipped through it at the bookstore but I didn’t really like it! I have always liked the way Bobbi Brown focused on natural beauty and enhancing what you have – their eye shadow colors are so earthy and beautiful!

Did anyone have any beauty books for when they were starting out?

I didn’t even use makeup when I was 14, not even lip gloss. I think I received a walkman for my 14th birthday :P
The only beauty related book I bought so far was this year :P
Aw, I got my first guitar on my 14th birthday! :D
Anyways, I think I got my first eyeliner when I was almost 15, so I wasn’t really interested in makeup til then. But I still borrowed all my friend’s beauty books, they just intrigued me, especially the beautiful photographs. :-p
Which book did you get? I’m tempted to buy this one!
