“The makeup artist Handbook,” by Gretchen Davis and Mindy Hall
Because it’s so easy to fire up a video makeup tutorial, sometimes I forget about good ol’-fashioned makeup books. I have quite a few and look through them typically (but not as much as I used to before YouTube was a thing).
An old fave
A couple that I think are super valuable are by makeup artist Robert Jones.

Makeup Makeovers in 5, 10, 15, and 20 Minutes: expert secrets for stunning Transformations: The step-by-step tutorials in this book are easy to follow, and the looks are classic, timeless and totally wearable. I like that the makeup is shown on different skin tones and face shapes, too.
Makeup Masterclass: A complete course in makeup For All Levels, Beginner to Advanced: Although very advanced makeup peeps might find this book basic, I still think it’s useful for beauty lovers of all levels since Robert does a terrific job of breaking down the “why” behind his techniques. The chapter that covers shadow placement for various eye shapes (hello, hooded eyes!), is especially helpful.
Tu ce mai faci? Do you read makeup books? What are your favorites?
