pleasant surprise |
|
I have read every book out there, so I thought what could this book offer. I was so surprised, Mr. Jones really gave me so much food for thought. I do makeup for a living (and of course that means a lot of brides), he thought of things that I do out of instinct and from trial and error, but it is amazing to know why I do them. Now all women will know what does make a difference when getting married (like what to do to photograph you most beautiful) AMAZING! I have bought this book for all my friends and fellow makeup artist. This just proves no matter how much you think you know you can always learn more!!!! |

Pretty looks, mostly the same however, and NOT for the bridal party! |
This book offers many beautiful looks for a glowing bride. The section for the bridal party was HALF a page and was completely pointless. If you want to look classically beautiful then this is the book for you. I am a makeup artist and have done many many weddings for many different types of people, and while this book has nice pictures, it doesn't offer anything different than the standard shimmery eyes and nude lips.
What about the alternative bride, who wants to wear blue eyeshadow? This book basically says thats not what you're supposed to do. I just did a wedding where the bride wore a beehive and had thick cat lined eyes, and she looked AMAZING- to say that you have to wear your makeup only 1 way is bad advice.
There is NOTHING wrong with wanting to step outside the bridal box and have fun on your day- this books makes it seem like thats wrong. There is more than 1 type of person in the world :) Other than that the looks were pretty standard, but nice. |

beautiful make-up ideas |
I am a professional bridal make-up artist in Australia and was compelled to buy this book after seeing it on Americancivilwar. I have to say the make-up is stunning and the instructions are easy to follow. It's always very inspriring to see the work of other make-up artists and gather new ideas.
This book would be ideally suited to someone who has a bit of make-up-savvy, i.e. someone who knows how to apply the basics. So many of the brides I meet really don't know their mascara from their blusher!
My only critisisms are that many of the pictures are repeated over and over again and it is clear that they have been computer-enhanced to some degree, therefore creating a very 'perfect' finish, which is virtually impossible in reality. Nevertheless this is a true milestone in terms of make-up publications and it is one that should grace any self-respecting coffee table. Well done Robert! |

great for ideas |
|
After reading mixed reviews of this product i figured i would give it a try. I was expecting to learn something about makeup application and how to apply makeup in different lighting situations for photographs. However, I was a little dissapointed by the "educational" portion of the book because it doesnt provide any new information and the pictures dont really bring to life the techniques. However, the photography is beautiful and I was inspired by many of the looks yet unfortunately dont feel like I could replicate them due to the lack of detail. |

good book...but, do not buy if you already have makeup makeovers |
|
i use to do make-up artistry, and i love finding new makeup books and dvds. i have makeup makeovers by the same author (pretty basic, good if you know nothing about makeup), and i really like that book. so i was happy to see a new book from him. i looked through the book in the bookstore to find that most of the pics are the exact same pics from makeup makeovers. they just photoshopped the girls into different backgrounds and put wedding apparel on them! so, if you have makeup makeovers, don't waste your money on this one. if you don't, then it will be a great book for you. if your not focused on the wedding look and want a basic makeup book with natural looks, go for makeup makeovers. and of course, you gotta buy kevyn aucoin's books! r.i.p. i don't know any female without at least one of his books! he was a true artist. |
