    Had to update my post on this book. Initially, I didn't get the concept of this book. I felt like it was a giant advertisement for Trish's products. Rather than offer tips on application, the book...

    Coffee table book. I ended up flipping through the pages looking at the pictures. The read itself was pretty worthless, but oh well I use it for decoration so I guess it was worth what I paid for...

    Got this book out of the library. Glad I didn't buy it as it seems like an advertisement for her stuff, herself and, inadvertently perhaps, her husband. There were a few tips, but nothing...

    This book was nice to look at and provided some interesting information about Trish McEvoy's life. However, if you are looking for detailed, in depth makeup instruction and techniques, this is not...

    I have mixed feeling about this book. I did pick up a couple interesting aaplication tips and I found the classifications of a woman’s “makeup level” interesting, but every chapter felt like a...

    Ugh, really ineffective as a how to book. Pictures dissapointing. Not many pics of looks. There are MUCH butter makeup books out there.

    I think I'm in the minority here but... Dispite the other reviews I really do like what this book has to offer. Topics which my other books don't. Then again aren't alot of things like that...

    "The Power of Makeup" isn't a helpful how-to book but a waste of money. No examples about the use of colour on different styles and really too quick walks through how to apply make-up. Last but not...

    The book's appearance is very reminiscent of Bobbi Brown's books. There was nothing much here to inspire me. The makeup looks were lovely and all that, but there is nothing unique in what she has...

    I thought this book was beautifully conceived. I haven't read any other makeup books, so I don't have much to compare this to. However, I think this would make a wonderful gift for the makeup...

    I finished this in the library within one hour but sadly did not learn many makeup tips. The photos are airbrushed to perfection and makes great candy for eyes but I won't recommend actually...

    I don't know what all the bashing is about. I thought this book was beautiful and I liked her slant on makeup levels. As a pro makeup artist, I've found a lot of my clients have trouble...

    I bought this book because I love makeup books and I have to say, as soon as I can get to the mall again, I'm taking it back. It's really pretty useless as a makeup book, there are no great tips,...

    I borrowed this from the library. NO way would I pay for a book like this. Informative yes, but I think it's definately a book where you read once, and that's enough. <P> She breaks down by...

    I received this as a gift and I can honestly say it simply the absolutely worst makeup book that I have seen. Even as a selling tool for her line, it is poor. As others have stated, there is little...

    I agree with all the "meh" reviews here. I borrowed this from my library on the strength of a great review in some magazine (Elle, Vogue, I don't remember)... Boy, am I glad I didn't buy it! A...

    I didn't really like this book. It wasn't too wordy but the ratio of words to pictures was dismally great. I'd have preferred more pictures, as that is how I get inspired. It wasn't very original,...

    I agree with the other reviews here (and Amazon for that matter). Trish could've done "better." She could've given more makeup how-to instruction (she only has classic eyes), she could've put...
