Book: The Beauty Bible
This book is not for everyone. It doesn't have detailed step-by-step
instructions on putting together the perfect face for you, however, what
it does have is a hearty helping of factual information about the care and
management of your skin.
Reading List: Cosmetics and Makeup
Just a few more titles that haven't made it to my bibliography, but that
are worth the exploring if you have the time and would like more information
on makeup application.
