Ever thought how great it would be if there were a Wikipedia-vast resource for makeup tips? Well, thanks to Bobbi Brown’s new Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual, there is. “I wanted it to answer every question you could ever possibly ask,” Brown says of her fifth—and by far most comprehensive—book. “I’ve been doing this for so many years, there’s nothing I know better in the world than makeup.” The alliteratively named pro is known as much for her approachable, everywoman élan (one of her favorite pieces of advice is “Be nice!”) as she is for her expertise, and the mammoth Manual showcases both. Whether you’re looking for troubleshooting tips (streaky cream blush? You might have used too much moisturizer. Large pores? Warm foundation in your palm before applying), recommendations on how much SPF to use (the equivalent of a shot glass to cover from head to toe), or a strategy that will finally enable you to master liquid eyeliner, it’s all here, communicated in steps like the best IKEA how-to-build-it guide. And while the book is chockablock with information, even featuring a Skincare Glossary (quick—define squalene!) and a History of Makeup time line (did you know that early eyeliners were made from crushed ants’ eggs?), it stays true to Brown’s simplicity-is-key ethos. “It’s designed for both aspiring makeup artists and people who just want to improve their own look,” she says. “I based it around photographs because most people are visual learners, and that helps me to be a better teacher.”
