Welcome to Fab Over Forty Makeup Makeovers Book Review and Giveaway!
Lets face it, everyone loves a makeover story, right? Someone goes from a plain Jane look to a diva in a matter of a few hours. But, does she keep up the look when all she has time at home to give herself is maybe 10 minutes to do her makeup and not an hour? I’ve often wanted to follow up with women who’ve had them publicly done to see if she is still keeping up the look at home. Well, now you can do your own makeover in the time YOU have to do it yourself. Robert Jones’ newest book Makeup Makeovers in 5, 10, 15, 20 Minutes: Expert Secrets for Stunning Transformations is here to help you give yourself the makeover you want in your time.
Robert Jones is president of simple beaute and a well-known hair and makeup artist with a client list that spans from Marie Claire, Elle magazines and more to Sheryl Crow, Diahann Carroll, Nexxus, Bergdorf Goodman and more. He has a line of makeup brushes and organizational tools and plans to launch his own line of signature makeup.
In the book he gives us demonstrations and step-by-steps on how to create the look we’re after. Giving us exactly what tools and products are needed. He also gives us snippets of advice like “Anytime you’re using bright colors on the eye, you need to ground them with neutrals” and “Playing matte against shimmer creates a natural glow” and how to create a 5 minute evening look – no need to spend half an hour to look all glamorous for that night out. There’s also a glamorous 20 minute look if you are so inclined to spend more time. There’s a look for every level of time and every level of look.
I am thrilled that Robert’s book has so many photographs of step-by-step on where to place which eye shadow color and which brush to use to create the look, and how to get a flawless canvas, and really where to place that shimmer on the cheeks. All these pieces and more are so useful and easy to follow along that you never have to worry again about how to get a beautiful look in the time you have available.
For a limited time while supplies last, when you order your book from Barnes and Noble or Amazon, just email your receipt with your mailing address to brushpromo@robertjonesbeauty.com and you will be sent the Robert Jones’ #28 eyeshadow blending brush free! A $21 value. But only while supplies last. And you’ll notice he uses this brush quite often in the book.
