Great, if you have Morgan's coloring
11 Sep 2001
Format:Spiral-bound
As a makeup novice, I found this book helpful and certainly have gotten lots of compliments when I apply the rules I learned here. Her makeup tips are easy to follow and her emphasis on a fundamentally natural look and largely simple applications makes this easy for almost anybody to pick up at least a few tips. I gave the book high marks because I personally got at least ten new pieces of information that I've been able to use, and that's not too bad!
That being said, as another pale, freckled, German/Irish-extraction woman in her thirties, I think I got more out of this book than many users. Morgan is really talking about her own makeup regimen, and doesn't have much to offer women of color, or darker-skinned white women either.
Also, gratuitous sections written by some doctor she works with, are a complete re-tread of advice you'll get in any women's magazine at least three times a year (stay out of the sun, drink lots of water, exercise, you are what you eat -- there, now you can skip all the parts he wrote).
Finally, I would have appreciated some more specific advice on purchasing makeup -- or, at least, more relevant to the labelling at the makeup counter. She makes much hay about noncomedogenic and other such designations, but having gone to the department store AND the health-food-store with a shopping list generated from the book's guidelines, I had no luck finding products with the kinds of chemical-mix attributes she recommends. The cosmetic companies don't market using her terminology. It would have been a better book with more of this kind of specific guidance. I do, however, applaud her for not selling out to a particular brand and recommending all their products.

Intelligent info from an insider
1 Aug 2000
Format:Spiral-bound
YOUR MAKEOVER is an attractive book bound in a useable three-ring like binding. The photos are good, and like the author says, not retouched, which is encouraging. Before and after pictures are shown, and the models are not all of the Cosmo-cover variety (but they do all look beautiful in the "after" stage).
DeMann's style is very engaging, and her prose is levelheaded as well as observant. Her tips are factual and helpful, and this book is clearly not designed to give anyone an inferiority complex but instead, to help build self-esteem while teaching to enhance your natural assets.
The information in this book could not possibly be outdated because DeMann's core philosophy is that the person and not the makeup should be the focus. Therefore, most of the tips in the book are aimed at the natural look, which can never be outdated.
Bottom line: useful book written in an engaging style with many attractive photos. Definitely user-friendly.

Well written for the makeup novice.....
17 May 2000
Format:Spiral-bound
What a great book for those of us who aren't blessed with perfect anything! I found this book to have simple and helpful tips that are written for my level of experience. The photos help me learn how to apply makeup, since I don't normally take the time to do it. I've learned how to make simple changes in my hair and face that totally change the way I look, with minimal effort. People may confuse the clearly written advice as being oversimplified, but for the make-up un-sophisticated woman like me, you'll find them refreshingly easy to follow! Thanks Ms. DeMann!
