Make-Up Secrets by Jemma Kidd

Make up artist extraordinaire Jemma Kidd's latest book Jemma Kidd Make-Up Secrets: Solutions to Every Woman's Beauty Issues and Make-Up Dilemmas is packed with beautiful pictures of perfectly made up models, easy to follow step by step instructions and practical advice for everything from creating a natural everyday look to more daring high fashion looks. She even recreates iconic make-up looks inspired by Audrey Hepburn, Brigitte Bardot and Sophia Loren. In addition to these glamour girl looks she also includes 5 minute examples of a "date" look and "work" look.

In this comprehensive book covering a wide rang of topics she talks about everything from what types of products and colors are best for your skin-tone to best looks for different eye and lip shapes to proper skincare. She also addresses various beauty and skincare concerns, including how to use make-up to look younger.  For all the glamour shots in the book, Jemma also tackles plenty of less than glamourous topics such as concealing under eye bags an age spots.   The only downside to this book is a lack of diversity. Most of the models are young white women with older or darker skinned models making rare appearances.
