Book Reviews of Makeup Makeovers: Expert Secrets for Stunning Transformations
Book Review: Definitely one of the better make-up books
Summary: 4 Stars
A sizeable part of this book is made up of remarkable before and after pictures of women of all ages and all races. It is reassuring that they don't all look like models too. He also writes about the importance of good skincare and then goes into the basic application of all aspects of makeup.
I found this book to be very up-to-date in recommending suitable colours for every skintone and ethnicity. Robert Jones describes his 'look' as 'glam girl next door' and it really comes across in the methods and colours he uses. If you are into 'way-out' looks you will probably find this boring as he is more concerned with emphasising one's features in a natural way, almost like Bobbi Brown's approach.
Here are my (few) critisicms. The 'after' photograps look very photoshopped and please correct me if I'm wrong Robert! He also seems to be a big advocate of contouring but I can't see how that works outside of photography. It is also geared towards only one fully made up look and doesn't give much guidance for seasonal variation or make up for low-key events.
All in all though it is definitely worth looking at especially for brides and even the mother of the bride!
