Do You read makeup Books?

“The makeup artist Handbook,” by Gretchen Davis and Mindy Hall
Because it’s so easy to fire up a video makeup tutorial, sometimes I forget about good ol’-fashioned makeup books. I have quite a few and look through them typically (but not as much as I used to before YouTube was a thing).

An old fave
A couple that I think are super valuable are by makeup artist Robert Jones.

Makeup Makeovers in 5, 10, 15, and 20 Minutes: expert secrets for stunning Transformations: The step-by-step tutorials in this book are easy to follow, and the looks are classic, timeless and totally wearable. I like that the makeup is shown on different skin tones and face shapes, too.

Makeup Masterclass: A complete course in makeup For All Levels, Beginner to Advanced: Although very advanced makeup peeps might find this book basic, I still think it’s useful for beauty lovers of all levels since Robert does a terrific job of breaking down the “why” behind his techniques. The chapter that covers shadow placement for various eye shapes (hello, hooded eyes!), is especially helpful.

A čo ty? Do you read makeup books? What are your favorites?
