The Make-up Manual: Your beauty guide for brows, eyes, skin, lips and more

The Make-up Manual is exactly what I was looking for — a clear, step-by-step guide that covers everything from brows and eyes to skin and lips. The instructions are easy to follow, and the illustrations/photos are incredibly helpful for visual learners. I especially loved the tips on techniques I’d never mastered before, like contouring and blending eyeshadow seamlessly. This book works equally well for beginners who want a solid foundation and for more experienced makeup lovers looking to refine their skills. It’s practical, thorough, and has become my go-to reference whenever I want to try a new look. A must-have for anyone serious about makeup!

Excellent useful informative diagrams recommendations full explanation. Highly recommend

Bought as a gift for someone starting to learn about makeup techniques and getting into makeup. Was well received and loved it.

Well pleased

I've followed Lisa on social media for a couple of years and her easy to follow tutorials and enormous enthusiasm for make up have given me the confidence to try new products and use make up and skincare to feel a million dollars. What I love about this book is you don't have to overhaul your make up bags with 100s of expensive products to get the looks. Lisa has so many tips and tricks, you can adapt existing products and build technique without having to be an expert. The looks are super easy to follow and I love that she's added tricks for covering things like pigmentation and dark circles ... AND a great section for glasses wearers! There's something for everyone in this book and I really couldn't recommend it more. In fact, I've just bought a second copy for my mum in law because there's a ton of great advice for "slightly older ladies" too. Great job, Lisa!

Brought for our daughter. She has followed the tutorials and had some good fun with it. Explains process well. A must buy for any beauty fan.

Today I received The Make Up Manual by Lisa Potted Dixon and wow it was worth the wait!!! I have been following Lisa's hints and tips for a few years now and religiously watch her YouTube videos every Friday. I can honestly say that Lisa's personality from her videos translates into her books. Reading this new book I feel that Lisa is reading the pages to me just like her videos! Right onto the book! Lisa takes you through each stage of make up from the basics of skin care to more complex make up techniques. I love how Lisa breaks down each section so that you know what to look for and different techniques for skin type, colour etc. I especially like the section on how to apply eye make up to your eye shape. As with Lisa's first book Easy On The Eyes once you practice the looks a few times I can do them in 5 or 10 minutes. I work part time and have two young children and the tips Lisa gives in her books have really helped me get my make up looking fantastic. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves make up and wants to try new looks or just want learn new techniques. Thank you again Lisa x

Not bad, but I was expected more make up examples, not just a basic.
