Cute. I won't be rushing out to purchase the necessary products to recreate Clara Bow's lipstick Bow, but it's nice to know there's a book to tell me how if I want to. Not something I'll ever actually use, but fun to flip through!

a book about how to do makeup & hair in the signature styles of iconic celebrities. this is a great idea, but i didn't like the way it was executed. all the instructions were illustrated by little sketches, rather than photos, which would have been much more helpful. a lot of the photos of the iconic beauties were in black & white, for obvious reasons. so between the photos and the drawings, you never really get to see what the effect would be in color on a normal person. this was especially annoying for the hair. it's really easy to draw hair doing whatever you want it to.

but it was fun to look through the iconic beauties and read about them. so that part was good.

The Look Book takes one hundred years of female celebrities and shows teens and young women how to copy theier most iconic features whether it is from Dorothy Dandridge's pin curls to Cher's disco eyes or Brooke Sheild's full eyebrows circa 1980 to Kat Von D's face tattoos. The written instructions and diagrams are easy to follow for the most inexperienced make-up user. The only downside of this book were the pictures. Some of the pictures failed to captured celeb's iconic look.
