Product Description

Presented in the style of a textbook, this details different make-up products on the market and how to use them for yourself and for others. It is a make-up personal shopper; teaching you how to negotiate the beauty hall and banish mistake buys. It discusses various attitudes towards make-up including interviews with professional make-up artists and a look at the way marketing steers us towards buying what we do. Printed in black and white without editorial style photographs of beautiful make-up and models, this contains a workbook section where you can try out your own ideas as well as make notes about what products and techniques work for you. The book contains topics as diverse as men and make-up, make-up for special occasions and environmental issues surrounding make-up. Make-up in Black and White is an ongoing discussion of why women wear make-up and how anyone can use it to celebrate their own beauty rather than being trapped in a marketing formula of what is supposed to look good. For make-up consumers or budding make-up artists everywhere.

Customer Reviews

a refreshingly different approach to buying and wearing makeup
This handy book gives complete advice on buying and wearing make up that completely makes sense and opens your eyes to some hometruths. It changed the way I go about the thorny issue of finding the right product for me and using it properly. Great stuff!
