Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Do not buy
This was horrible, a huge ad. It was all about what products to buy of theirs. It was also about the makeup artists and what they do, I didn't buy the book for that. I was hoping to get tips on how to do my makeup better, from the good makeup arists. For how much I paid for this book was incredible for the waste of info I got. Do not buythis book, it I could have rated it lower I would have. It was a waste of my money and time. I am upset with this book and will never buy any reading material for ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Just a big catalog for their products! You won't learn anything!
I bought this book because I am such a fan of the stores and website and was SO disappointed and really feel cheated. This is nothing more than a hardcover book for the products they sell with some make-up tips thrown in and you probably know most of them. The one mention of applying eyeshadow doesn't even have close-up pictures so you can really see what they are doing. And for the kicker, there is a big section just on the founders of the all the make-up companies who sell their products at Sephora ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Fun to look at, nothing truly helpful
I goes over a VERY basic overview of products and how to use them. Don't look for anything about skin tone variations or what suits you best, its simply a book on all the products they sell and bios on a few of the creators. It isn't bad just if you are looking for a tutorial book, there are better ones out there.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Disapointed
Very disapointed in this book..it is more like a catalog of advertising their products..you can learn way more tips visiting the store...instead of buying the book..go to store and spend your money



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Beautifully photographed...that's it
I bought this book expecting to find new make up tricks, the ultimate products for skin care and top professional advices,combine with some basic info as an orientation to newcomers, but besides the stunning photos (with no credit about who the make up artists, models and photographers are) the info is not as interesting as depicted in the promotion and it looks to me more like a catalog than a beauty and make up book...only the prices were missing...
