Although I am a pro at applying most cosmetics, I am not a master at applying eye shadow or foundation. So when I received a copy of renowned makeup maven Bobbi Brown’s new book, “For Everyone from Beginner to Pro: Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual,” I was absolutely thrilled!
The book is packed with tips on everything from how to maintain healthy skin to applying false eyelashes. The best part is that it features a wide range of models with various skin-tones. This is definitely the perfect gift for all of your beloved beauty buffs!
Available in bookstores and at www.amazon.com on Dec. 1st for $32.
Plus, BGG is giving away 5 copies! Just leave a comment for the rest of the week and the winners will be selected randomly and announced next Monday, Dec. 1st.
Do you consider yourself a master at applying your own makeup?
I’m by no means a pro. Just good enough to get by. I’d never by able to put on lashes. I love Bobbi Brown!
Thanks for sharing! I’ve been looking for a book like this, as I’m no master.
wow this is great, I just learned how to somewhat apply eyeliner this weekend lol!!!
Everyone’s been talking about this book and I want it like…NOW! I need to run to Amazon.com. I am pretty good at applying make-up on myself but still struggle doing it on others. Especially when it comes to lining and mascaras. I can apply eyeshadow all day but liners, ohhhh nooo. And don’t even get me started on foundations. I wouldn’t even know where to begin. LOL! Have a happy Monday, BGG!
i think i do okay, no master though. i would love to get bobbi’s tips as she the master of flawless natural makeup!
i’ve heard great things about this book; sounds like a good read!
Great post… I’m still learning how to be BETTER at applying makeup, so that book would definitely be a bonus!
I need that book! The only thing that I can apply is foundation.
Im not a master and always looking for ways to get better at applying make-up. Thanks for sharing!
im not a pro at all either! lol, i need this book
I’m not a pro. =(
The college I graduated from is has a program where you can learn to be a makeup artist at one her studios..I’m thinking of applying..
I am not a pro AT ALL, but I have Iman’s make-up book and it’s SO helpful. My roommate in college also had one from Kevin Aucoin and it was uber-fabulous!!!
I still need to figure out how to make my eyeshadow look creamy and smooth rather than gritty and textured. I’ll be checking this one out.
P.S. I can’t wait to see what you have coming up in the way of holiday gift guides. I’m sort of stuck this year since I’m gifting on the tightest budget EVER.
i don’t consider myself a pro…i learn something new every day…i think i’m doing well so far but there’s sooooo much more to learn! i need to build up my m/u book library fa realz
please come by apply false eye lashes.
I am a master when it comes to applying the mascara and lip gloss. lol.
This book sounds great!
Have a good day.

I definitely need this book! I just might need to be applying those fake lashes, I accidentally cut some of my eyelashes off in a freak accident with an eyelash curler. Aside from blush and powder everything else about the makeup process is a mystery.
I love make-up books! Great post!
i am so NOT a pro and would love to win a copy of this book! fingers crossed! i was actually just on the bobbi brown site last night (i did a makeup post today) and love the little how-to makeup videos she includes in each section on how to correctly apply the makeup.
i’m no pro but i do a good job on my eyes once in a while
Thanks for sharing info about this book! I am not a master at all when it comes to applying makeup, except for lipgloss… I was so excited when I purchased a few CG due eyeshadows, because on the packaging it showed me how to apply it! I read your blog and several others on a daily basis, to get tips and tricks to help me enhance my look, from young and flashy to mature and glamorous!
A Master?…that would be a NO
I know hot to apply lip gloss all day everyday. I bought some of that long lasting lip wear for my wedding, and haven’t seen it since then. I have some eye shadow that has a chart on the back…but it still confuses me. I haven’t used foundation since I was 15 and wanted to cover a hickey…LOL
I am a big Bobbi Brown fan. I watch her QVC appearances to study her techniques. I wish I was more adept at applying eye shadow and Bobbi’s gel eyeliner.
Heavily anticipated book on the makeup scence. Definitely not a pro but I think I do a good enough job to get noticed. My mom likes me to do her makeup when she goes out, but Bobbi can most def help in applying makeup oh so naturally.
Happy Monday
i have never nor am i now any type of master when it comes to make-up! lol…
i actually to be honest dont wear much makeup…i usually dab on some bareminerals and call it a day! that actually is somethign i dont do on a regular basis…
i never got into make-up..im starting to more now a days, but ya…no master LOL..i wish though
I would love to have this book to get some more makeup tips. I’m self-taught and although i’ve come a long way in my makeup application skills…I could always use extra help. Thx!
I’m working on becoming an eyeshadow pro. I’ve mastered the smokey eye and I’m now on blending. 🙂
I have the Iman book and the Sephora book and both have been helpful, though I use the Iman one more.
i learned how to apply makeup mostly in college but its really basic mostly mascara and eyeshadow.. i’m like others i’m a novice at linners and would luv to learn more.
I am not a pro, and could definitely use this book to learn more tips and techniques. I adore Bobbi Brown’s lipglosses – nice and natural-looking.
I wanted to get this for my sister for Christmas but now I want it for myself. (She’s a MUA who constantly critiques my make-up – not in a good way) :/
I am a pro and still love a great makeup book.
I always find something new.
Ohhh…I’d love to receive a copy! I’m such a makeup novice…I need help!
I’d love to get my hands on this book! I’m definitely not a pro, except when it comes to lipgloss maybe. I want so badly to learn how to apply fake eyelashes. I need this book!
I wish I was a pro. I love Bobbi Brown because she lets the model’s individuality shine thru. This is just the book I need.
I am by no means a master at applying make up, but I do pretty well. I always make my eyes look nice and natural, but sometimes I would like to know how to glam them up. I guess I’ll try this book. The last make up book I bought was Iman’s in 05.
I was flipping through this book while waiting in like at the bookstore, I saw the price and figured I could manage without it. The next day I was in front of the mirror trying to remember all of the tips I possibly could. It has beautiful photos and a really cool ethnic section.
