Iman: The Beauty Of Color

If you’re looking for a great beauty read, you can’t go wrong with this! The Beauty of Color is a girly girl’s classic coffee table book. Large, glossy images of makeup in every sense of the word are right at your fingertips. Supermodel Iman and beauty editor turned blogger (And should be model) Tia Williams created this go to book. Within its pages you’ll find the definitions of makeup products, how to use them, and step-by-step makeup guides. The interesting thing is that it highlights not only Black women, but Middle Eastern, Asian, Caucasian, Hispanic and everything in between. ANTM’s Jay Manuel does quite a bit of the makeup for this book.

If you want a colorful guide to makeup products, this bad boy is for you. Want to see which brushes do what? Read on. If I were a beginner, I’d depend on this book. At least until the Makeup 101 series debuts on the Scandalous Beauty Youtube Channel! Hehe!!! Take a look inside the pages below. If you’d like to purchase a copy, hard or soft cover, check out Amazon.com. They have some really great prices on used books!

Speaking of Amazon, I’ve bought 6 albums using Amazon MP3′s. They save directly to your computer and typically cost 3 or 4 bucks cheaper than the CD itself. What did I get, you ask?
Mos Def, “The Ecstatic”, Erykah Badu, “Baduizm”, N.E.R.D., “Seeing Sounds” and a free Jazz Sampler, to name a few.

  • KissyFace Artistry

    This book was the first book I purchased when I got into makeup and the rest is history. Even though I'm a bit more educated in make-up and its application, I still find myself flipping through its pages admiring the amazing work.

    This was the first makeup book I purchased too! I was so impressed by the artistry and the diversity represented through out it. Totally unlike the white washed makeup books that usually hit the stands. Hmmph. :P

    Just like KissyFace, this was my first Makeup How to book, and I still reference it for foundation tips! Iman is gorgeous! Another good read is Kevyn Aucoin's Making Faces,He was the master at makeup transformation.

    I bought this book early this year to go with my ridiculous collection. It was simply about time a book that is for women of color was put out in the main market. Not with the pastey looks, and bleh styles as if we cannot wear bold and beautiful looks.This is an awesome book, and worth every penny!
