I checked this book out from the library so that I could learn how to do a smoky eye. I still do not know how to do a smoky eye.

I don't think this book actually taught me anything that I didn't already know. The pictures used were awful, the models looked pretty scary and instead of taking lots of photos they used the same photos over and over again, so I couldn't really tell what techniques they were trying to get across when there was just the same photo before with a hand photoshopped in front of it and some eyeliner photoshopped on as well. So weird! And the costume makeup section was just horrendous! But I guess my roommates and I got a good laugh out of it so it was almost worth it.

This is a very informative little book containing all kinds of tips and tricks based on face shape,skin tone/type, and even [dreaded]age. Several different options for various times of day and occasions. Pretty good all-in-all.

Some good and practical advice for those of us who haven't taken a cosmo class before. The photographs are also quite helpful along with the step-by-step tips.

Terrible photography. You can see the models literally rolling their eyes. Next time : better coaching and editing, please!

I'm glad I got this from the library! I would have been mad if I paid for this! Very basic this title should not be called Pro Makeup

It was decent but didn't contain enough detailed descriptions for application.
