Bobbi Brown: „Makeup manual” is first makeup book that I’ve ever bought and even after 3 years of makeup obsession I still go back to it from time to time. Bobbi Brown is famous makeup artist and well-known mainly for her own high quality brand. You’ll find in the book everything you need to know and see if you are beginner: how to apply makeup, how to hide imperfections, how to choose certain products and so on. You’ll find there step by step foto tutorials so it is easy even for less experienced person to manage it. Techniques that are presented there are basic yet universal and commonly referred to as best practices. There are only few that may vary from one makeup artist to other from what I’ve seen, but that is natural as everybody has its own style.
English is not difficult, so once you’ve managed basic makeup vocabulary you are good to go. This book is definitely a good investment; it would be a good present to ask for Christmas, for exampleJ. You can buy in on amazon.co.uk, the price is around 17£ (on French Amazon it costs 17€).

Rae Morris: „Makeup. The ultimate guide” is another great book about makeup. The makeup artist discusses quickly basic techniques too but also describes some tricks and special techniques in details, such as face contouring or faking bronzed face. The book includes foto step by steps tutorials as well, some of them are little bit more difficult compared to Bobbi Brown’s ones yet still manageable. I think it is more suitable for intermediate makeup users, let’s say as a follow-up after Bobbi Brown’s book. You can also buy it on amazon.co.uk, the price is about 14,39£ (on French Amazon 23,69€).
