A comprehensive make-up manual that details all aspects of make-up application, solutions to common problems, as well as tips and tricks for perfecting your look every time. Starting with Skin Secrets, make-up artist Lisa Potter-Dixon teaches you everything you need to know about skincare and perfecting your base. In Beautiful Brows, Lisa explains how to enhance your brows, before styling a Natural, Full, Ombre, and Feathered look. In Go with the Glow, she explains why we add color and takes a look at Contouring, Strobing, Blushing, and Bronzing. In The Eyes Have It, things really get interesting, with looks for Smoky, Colorful, Nude, Smudged, and Glittery Eyes. And in Luscious Lips, Lisa helps you understand the difference between types of lipsticks, pencils, glosses, and all that's in between before teaching you how to achieve the perfect lip, no matter what your style. Finally, Lisa offers up Looks to Dazzle, from Extreme Glitter to using sequins, feathers, and transfers, as well as enhancing your look with accessories. Whether you’re looking for a fun and youthful, elegant and sophisticated or one-off look, Lisa will show you how to make the most of your facial features and complexion in this Make-up Manual . Review: Awesome Makeup Book - This is an awesome makeup manual. Beautiful pictures, clear step by step instructions, and really tells you how to “create” a made up face. I recommend finding a highly rated makeup artist (MUA) in your area (look for artists that work on commercials, advertisements, brides, etc. and has a portfolio of work online) and taking a makeup class with him/her. Working with a MUA who is independent and not working for a store or particular brand means that the MUA can tell you about their favorite products and recommend products that are long-lasting, effective, fits your skin type, is color matched for you, will hold up in humid weather (MUAs who work on brides during the summer know this challenge), etc. After that session, use this book to help reinforce what you learned and to remind you of tips and tricks. This is a great book for someone who wants to learn more about makeup without being overwhelmed with too much information. Makeup takes a lot of practice. I found that I had to learn how to “see” my face and see what is in front of me instead of what I want to see. Taking selfies from different angles can help give you an idea of what your makeup looks like. Keep practicing, ask questions, read this book, look on YouTube for specific makeup techniques, use a light/gentle hand, and use less rather than more. Review: Great book - Bought as a gift got my niece who’s a preteen and experimenting with wearing makeup. Such a great tutorial volume. Spiral bound, gilded edge, great pictures. I’m going to get one for myself too :)

not worth it
very expensive for a small makeup book - it is not a manual as it does not adequately illustrate the usage of the makeup and techniques. good intro perhaps but you will need another book to get you there.

Comprehensive, Easy-to-Follow, and Perfect for All Skill Levels!
The Make-up Manual is exactly what I was looking for — a clear, step-by-step guide that covers everything from brows and eyes to skin and lips. The instructions are easy to follow, and the illustrations/photos are incredibly helpful for visual learners. I especially loved the tips on techniques I’d never mastered before, like contouring and blending eyeshadow seamlessly. This book works equally well for beginners who want a solid foundation and for more experienced makeup lovers looking to refine their skills. It’s practical, thorough, and has become my go-to reference whenever I want to try a new look. A must-have for anyone serious about makeup!
