    I agree with many other reviewers who say that this book is boring and she condescendingly pushes her opinions on to others. Considering this is a beginner's book, I found that the techniques were...

    The first makeup manual I purchased so many years ago. Bobbi, through her books and videos, taught me how to love my own features and how to make the most of them with natural makeup, and I've...

    although i did enjoy reading this book. i felt it didnt really deserve to be called a make up book as she rarely gave techniques on how to apply the right make up but rather just preached about...

    I really hated this book. Okay, let me rant by saying I got the impression from BB that she is the only MA who's opinion mattered and what she said had to go. I felt like she was pushing her...

    Having never used makeup myself before college (the strong smell of a lot of my mother's stuff turned me off as a child) I found this book a really good general introduction to beauty in that it...

    I agree with priya2006. After reading this I felt like throwing some yellow powder right at BB. For ages I bought into the 'yellow undertones for everyone' philosophy. I now realize that it was...

    First of all I didn't but the book, got it on loan from the library. Anyways BB should add another B for "BORING". Sure I agree that she gives you good basic tips on beauty [that made go duh and...

    Aesthetically, I like this book, I like some of the photos and I like the clear layout. When it comes to the actual information though it seems dated - Bobbi is so preachy - yes, everyone knows...

    Great book for practical advice. Bobbi Brown's work is inspirational. I also love how she shows a variety of people in her book - from teenagers to mature women and addresses the issue of ethnicity.

    I said I would buy this again even though I won't have to. So many people just look at the buy again column and make their decisions to try a product based on those percentages. Anyway this book...

    I actually liked the book and overall like Bobbi's philosophy towards make-up (natural, enhancing) It's funny looking at this book years later as it seems Bobbi goes against her own writings. Her...

    This book is very helpful. I'm a makeup beginner, so this provides me with a framework of how to go about makeup application. The basic face is still the fundamental look for me, especially since...

    Well, I guess you could say that I was not very smart in purchasing her books twice, but I guess you could say that I like to look at different techniques from different makeup artists, and see...

    I was not impressed with this book at all. I thought it was quite boring. If you have never washed your face, never put on any MU at all, etc, it could be helpful. It is disappointing that...

    I thought this was on the whole a pretty good book. I think Bobbis style is very different from that of someone like kevyn Aucoin, but no less valid. I love the neutral look a la Boobi sometimes,...

    I, too, found the MU looks in this book too basic and the tone too prescriptive at times. She seems to use only two color schemes for e/s, for example: brown/champagne neutrals for day and grey for...

    I hate her rules and how she only focuses on "natural" makeup. But in that aspect, the book is good
