Teen Makeup: Looks to Match your Every Mood
Grade 6 Up–This makeup artist to the stars has created a glossy, how-to guide for teens. Using a diverse group of young women as her models, Mason transforms them using seven distinctive makeup looks: "classic," "cool," "sweet," "sporty," "retro," "glamorous," and "way-out-rageous." The colorful, well-composed photographs show each look, while additional illustrations help re-create it. One section offers essential tips for good skin care and basic makeup techniques and another discusses matching makeup to one's star sign. The list of basic colors and types of makeup doesn't include brand names or exact colors, which may frustrate those looking to copy the look exactly. Fans of beauty how-to books will definitely enjoy the visual presentation. Readers particularly adept with a mascara wand and eye pencil will want to try out the tips featured in the book. Some of them may require a more practiced hand, but teens will appreciate knowing about them nonetheless.–Elaine Baran Black, Gwinnett County Public Library, Lawrenceville, GACopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
