At 40 I'm finding that the makeup styles I perfected in my 20s no longer work for me. To look for an updated look I tried a makeover at a department store cosmetics counter (asking for a modern natural look for work) and walked out with blue eyeliner and red lipstick - I kid you not! And so my purchase of this book. Lots of elegant looks with instructions. Who knew how important eyebrow shape was?
So far I love everything about this book. It regards aging as a beautiful thing -- and because aging is inescapable, I think it's nice to have a book-friend that will help you go through it with grace and eloquence.
A nice basic start-up book with descriptions of what everything does and why you need it. A slant toward older women who may not have worn make-up when they were younger. As someone who wears glasses, I also appreciated the extra tips for those of us with framed eyes.
I don't wear a lot of makeup and like to spend as little time getting ready as possible so I can't wait to implement some of the tips, saving time and money in the process.
