I bought this book for make up inspiration - it was far more than that. It is an invaluable book filled with advice, tips, looks, excellent photography, professional techniques, tools, a Q&A section, and information about making it as a make up artist.
I LOVE IT!
Some of the looks are natural, vintage, modern, and really out there. There is even a male make up section (small but it's there), and skincare, face shapes, skin tone, and make up types and how to apply them. It is truly a MUST HAVE book.
Even just to see what can be done with make up and body paint. I look it, it is inspiring, and really does suit it's title - Make Up is Art! If I ever could become a make up artist, I've no idea how I would top these looks, but the book has inspired me (in the mean time) to be more experimental with make up. After all, it is a fun thing to use!
I adore it, well worth the price! (Which was not that much at all)
