 This books needs more how to's
I love this book wonderful pics and I have been a fan of his work for so long and didn't even know he had done half of the celebrities. But I was not amazed by the how to's there wasn't much I just had to look at the pics and figure it out. Maybe he doesn't want to let his secret out of the bag but I was disappointed. For example his lips are gorgeous but how did he do it? what colors did he use? that wasn't in there. ya know what i mean.
 Very basic
If you are a pro. This book is very basic. It's generally written for everyday people who need a how-to beauty book.
Took nothing from this....
This book assumes that you know about makeup and is basically a self promoting book about the celebrities the author knows.
The first 40 or so pages do discuss makeup tips, but it's overshadowed by the remaining 100+ pages of stories of his famous clientele. Not what I was looking for in a beauty book.
Lacks True Beauty Tips
If you are looking for a book that will give you makeup application ideas, look elsewhere. But if you want to see a makeup artist stroke his ego by being associated with big Hollywood names, then this is the book for you.
When I got this book I believed it would provide me with detailed information on how to apply makeup and what I could do to improve my look. Instead I get approximately 10-12 pages of information that I could have read in a beauty magazine. The remaining pages are filled with photos of the women he has made up such as Brandy, Patti Labell, and Tyra Banks. Then you get to hear about his life. Big Deal.
The saying "Don't judge a book by its cover" really does apply to this one.
A nice start
This book has some detail in the beginning about certain techniques of make-up application. Overall, this book tends to be to star-studded and not enough information on actual beauty techniques, products, skin care or color selection. If you want to know "a little" about make up application and view some beautiful photos of your favorite celebrities, this book may suit you.
