Book Reviews of Beauty Confidential: The No Preaching, No Lies, Advice-You'll- Actually-Use Guide to Looking Your Best
Book Review: Cute read with lots of info for a makeup newbie like myself :-)
Summary: 5 Stars
I was really excited to read this book, as I am just venturing into the realm of makeup and hair care. I've always been makeup-free and just thrown my hair up as I walked out the door in the morning...but now I'm taking a stab at making myself look a bit more presentable each day. I picked this book because at first glance at the store it seemed relatively simple in format and very easy to read. It has everything from tips on what hair styles look best for different hair types to tips for what to do at salons when they offer you a robe to change into to how much to tip various people.
I can see how some people with loads of experience could find parts of this book a little less informative than I did, but I still think there are lots of tips that most people will find useful. It was fun and easy to read, and I know I'll be referencing it in the future as I venture into other areas of beauty. It's also useful to me, who wants some makeup and hair care advice without being bombarded by an assortment of things that everyone absolutely must do/use.
Overall, I really liked this book, even in areas I did know something about. The style is very fun and honest...and it makes you excited to go try some new products (not just brands) that she suggests in each chapter.
