Nonfiction
With an
extraordinary layout and interesting choices, this guide offers a look at how
to put on makeup, what to buy that is cutting-edge, how to plan out a typical day as a makeup artist, and how to get
motivated to begin a career in make-up. With a table of contents that looks
like one we would see in a magazine, this book will certainly appeal to young readers! The categories are laid out in colorful
palates, and the stars who appear in the book
have been undoubtedly selected for their charisma and star appeal. There is glitz and glamor galore! New trends in make-up and case studies with
real people who have jobs in the industry greatly add to the content. Without those interviews, readers would not
understand how to go about achieving success in this field. The book is both pleasurable and educational,
and the coverage of each topic is interesting.
One learns about make-up tricks and going green with healthy make-up brands.
The variety is comprehensive, but there is
one flaw: there is
nothing about salary or schooling. The
field of study of cosmetology is often offered at the high-school vocational-training school, but there is no mention of that. Nevertheless, when young teenagers see the
layout, the photographs and the contemporary stars and musical artists that are included in this guide, they will
certainly read
it, and there is no better
tribute to nonfiction than for students to enjoy it and learn at the same
time! Mimi D’s two-page autobiography helps to fill in the gaps with her practical
advice, and additional advice on how to enter the field is included on page
15. The book ends with a list of resources
and a short index. Cosmetology-Careers --Martha Squaresky
