A Closer Look: Makeup Makeovers in 5, 10, 15, 20 Minutes: Expert Secrets for Stunning Transformations by Robert Jones

Image

I’ve actually had this book for a little while.  I was finding myself in a makeup rut and wanted to get some ideas for changing up my everyday makeup for work. This book features women of different ethnicities. Robert Jones takes a step-by-step approach to the makeup application process.  The pictures are self-explanatory, but he still does a great job of explaining his techniques.
