Review
The information is mostly presented in a question/answer format that is most commonly used in fashion and beauty magazines. The information is extremely helpful, and I love that color photos are used to provide a visual of what he?s actually referring to. This book is 157 pages in all, and the first 50 pages contain makeup tips and techniques that you will find beneficial.
The rest of the book consists of pictures of the many celebrities Sam Fine has worked with and a summary of their look. You will not find information on skin care or a report on step-by-step makeup application for creating different looks. I recommend this book if you already have solid knowledge about how to apply makeup, because it does contain some extra tips you can use. If you are a beginner, this book may not be for you.
THE BEAUTY OF COLOR
Book Description
Iman, the adored fashion model icon and cosmetics entrepreneur, brings to you one of the first books that embrace global beauty and women of all ethnicities. In a period when the face of beauty has changed, the most celebrated women in Hollywood include such stars as Jennifer Lopez, Halle Berry, and Lucy Liu. Iman delivers a new approach to makeup and skin care by resisting categorizing women according to ethnicity.
She welcomes the whole range of skin color ? from light to dark. This is the first beauty and makeup book to truly address skin tones across the spectrum-Latina, Black, Asian, Indian, Native American, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, as well as women of mixed ethnicities. Because Iman has had a stable career as a world-class supermodel and has founded two top cosmetics lines, she understands the difficulties ethnic beauties have always had with skin care and makeup.
In The Beauty of Color, Iman gives very detailed information on skin care regimens and how you can use palettes targeted to your exact skin tone and type. One of the things I love most about this book is that she does include step-by-step information on how to achieve certain looks. This book is a must-have regardless of your current level of knowledge.
Review
This book is wonderful on so many different levels because it contains beautiful pictures, and is also extremely informative. It is one of few guides that is not only for ethnic beauties (Black, Latina, Asian, Indian, etc.), but it is for all women. Iman provides great instruction on issues regarding makeup application, skin care, and color palette selection. You will receive instructions on how to create certain looks with makeup, from a natural look to a glamour girl look. If you want to expand your knowledge even more, she includes tips to achieve vampy and ghetto fabulous looks as well.
If you have trouble selecting the correct foundation, blush, or bronzer, this book provides a firm foundation on how to do so. Furthermore, Iman discusses skin care issues (including hyperpigmentation) and gives care instructions on oily, dry, combination, and normal skin.
It is illustrated with beautiful, vibrant photographs, and contains a generous amount of information on makeup and skin care. If you love makeup and want to apply it correctly, buy this book!
