Yummy411: Thank you MMMH!

A few weeks ago I entered into Makeup Makes Me Happy's Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual Giveaway. Can you believe it!? I WAS ONE OF THE WINNERS! It arrived quickly to my mailbox. I ripped it open as fast as I could and also wanted to share it with you all.

Here's a preview and my thoughts on it!



The book includes step by steps,
Helpful color application tips,
Showing the beauty of blush (I'm a blush whore!)

Makeup on different ethnicities,

Goes from basic to advanced, showing makeup in photography,

Bridal makeup,

And advice on how to break into the business.

The book doesn't tell you everything, but gives you a good amount to go on. There are some tips that I like because you don't realize you need them until you've been practicing in makeup. I'm not even through all of these chapters because some I just look and absorb the pics! I'm so excited to have won this book! If you are starting out your makeup library, this is a solid buy. I can't compare this book to her other books because I don't own any of them. Great advice from a pro who lives and breathes natural, practical makeup.

I own quite a few makeup books, an this one is really good. I am not a fan of Bobbi Brown cosmetics as it seems to wash out on my skin, but this book is really really good! Great pictures, especially of darker skinned women of colour, lots of vivid colours especially for blushes. Its definately one of the better ones. Folks should get it!
