BOOKS THAT TAUGHT ME SOMETHING
Bobbi Brown's Makeup Manual- Bobbi Brown
The Fabulous Girls' Book
The Girls' Book of Glamour

As a pre-teenage girl I just wanted to know about makeup, hair, fashion and all of those other girly things that I wanted to be part of and the two pink 'Girl's Books' were exactly what I needed. They are just a bit of fun with some tips and tricks on how to do your makeup and different ways to do your hair. Some of the titles in them include 'How to turn your bedroom into a haven', 'How to appear fabulously confident', 'How to apply eyeshadow' and 'many others and 13 year old me probably wouldn't have gotten by without them.

This one is a much more recent purchase. The 'Makeup Manual' by Bobbi Brown breaks down everything from basic skincare, how products work and what they are used for, how to choose the best tools for applying makeup and then how to actually apply gorgeous makeup. I found the section at the front about skincare so unbelievably useful I can't even tell you. It's so nice to really understand the products that you use on your face and whether you're using the right thing. And then the rest of the book about makeup application has really changed the way I put my makeup on and I feel like I'm finally getting there with better makeup application. If you love make up and skincare and just generally looking after your face, I'd definitely point you towards this bad boy.
