The Beauty of Color

I really enjoyed reading and using this book. I found the step by step guides although I would have liked for the book to go into more detail.You can find a real mix of tips from skin care and moisturisers, eye shadow/eyebrows, foundation and concealer. There are also a few before and afters, which is also good as you can see the potential you can achieve.A real help and would recommend this book to others.

Fantastic book with wonderful photos and advice. Every woman should have one to refer to...

Good book covers the basics

I had high expectations for this book by Iman but was seriously disappointed. She barely touches the surface of the topics covered, some nice photos but that's all I can say. I can't say this book is even worth the while for beginners to make up.

This book is fantastic, a good read, I very rarely wear make up, and am a bit of a perfectionist when i do something, problem was i had loads of makeup but didn't know how to apply it. So after searching long and hard I decided to get the Iman book, and boy was it a really insightful book.It gave me the basics of cleansing, toning and moisturising and for my skin type (as well as many other types). It also suggested makeup ranges/types to buy (Iman, Mac, prescriptives).And Which Foundations(and other makeup) to choose for your skin type and colour, furthermore what tools to have to apply the makeup as this makes a great difference).After all of this it gave a very clear step by step guide(written and illustrated) of how to apply the make up e.g. blending techniques,keeping the makeup in place on your face (for my oily T zone) and different looks for different events and times in the day. The illustrations are great to look at,and very inspirational.Also I was impressed that it gave different looks for different ages.I Have copied these looks and look very natural but very different, because i have learnt so much i have adapted this information to my own style, and am very happy.

I dont feel theres anything good enough to describe how fantastic this book is. Its perfect, It shows different women both models and normal women of different ages from different nationalities and different tones. It goes through skin type, foundation lip makeup eye shadow, tools to be used different looks and step by step instructions on how they can be applied.If this is not going to help you then i dont feel anything will

As black woman who doesn't wear makeup everyday i needed a book which would tell me in detail what was the right make up for my skin colour and also how to apply it, so that when i do wear makeyp it looks flaweless. I got this and a whole lot more from this book and am only dissapointed with myself that i didn't discover it sooner.The beauty of colour made me aware of all the makeup mistakes which i had been making over the years, where i was going wrong and how to correct them.If/when Iman writes another book, I shall be one of the first people to buy it.Now if you'll excuse me, I'll think i'll read it once again!

Great book by Iman providing information about the different types of makeup styles etc. & close up photos and details on how they were achieved. Covers all skin tones. Really good book.
