Jemma’s Make-up Secrets is the must-have follow-up to Jemma Kidd’s best-selling first book, Make-up Masterclass.
Sharing her wealth of knowledge from years of working in the beauty industry as a professional make-up artist, product developer and teacher to a new generation of make-up artists, Jemma addresses the key make-up issues and answers the questions about beauty that every woman wants to know.
Part 1: Making Make-up Work for You covers the groundwork, demystifying ingredients and formulations and explaining which products to use and how to apply them. Jemma demonstrates how to achieve a flawless complexion and how to make up eyes and lips to best effect. She then reveals how to wear colour, how to keep your make-up on-trend, and how to achieve the most iconic make-up looks of all time – from Audrey Hepburn to Brigitte Bardot.
Part 2: The Problem Solver addresses key beauty concerns, such as how to take care of your skin, how to look younger and how to combat the damaging effects of the sun and cold weather. ‘Beauty First Aid’ is a troubleshooting section, dealing with problems such as eye bags, blemishes and dull skin. Lastly, ‘Stop the Clock’ provides fail-safe five-minute make-up regimes for when you’re pressed for time, from running late for work to a last-minute party.

I received my copy of Jemma Kidd's latest book this morning and having thought there wasn't anything to add from her brilliant first one (Jemma Kidd Make-Up), I have been thrilled to find that this one is packed with even more beautiful pictures, step-by-step instructions and practical advice: even an experienced make-up artist will find gems of information!
The book is divided in to two sections: Part 1 'Making Make-up Work for You' which includes working with your skin-tone, best looks for different eye shapes and even recreating iconic make-up looks like Audrey Hepburn, Brigitte Bardot and Sophia Loren. Part 2: 'The Problem Solver' addresses multiple beauty & skincare concerns, including how to use make-up to look younger...perfect!! There are also 5 minute examples of a 'date' look and 'work' look to name just a couple.
Jemma has a wonderful writing style of educating women without patronising them and instead gives them the tools to use make-up with confidence. I am so impressed with this book that I plan to purchase more for my girlfriends as birthday/Christmas gifts as I know they will love it too. Highly highly recommended.
