Make It Up: The Essential Guide to DIY Makeup and Skin Care

Having followed Marie on her Youtube and Humblebeeandme media accounts I was keen to have all the info in one place and that's exactly what we have here, in this book. If you've seen Marie on Youtube you'll know that she is a great teacher. She has a very methodical way of formulating and creating the recipes and her enthusiasm is catching and this transfers well to this book too. She helps make sense of what can initially be a little overwhelming in terms of the amount of information there is about making your own cosmetics and makes it definitely fun. The book is really well laid out, pictures are great and the fact that she gives examples for different face types and colours is an excellent idea.She has also always threaded her demos and wriitten advice with really essential information about the rights and wrongs of formulating and gives sound reasons for her suggestions. All in all and excellent book with a wealth of recipes, on everything from simple lotions to make up essentials. Really worth every penny. Well done Marie. Some simple and not so simple to get ingredients with sugggestions for substitutions. Hoping there will be a book for hair and body care too sometime in the future. Excellent book and can definitely recommend.

I like that the recipes are easy to follow. Highly recommend this book!

Marie Rayma's extensive research and testing has resulted in an excellent, five star, honest, intelligent, and well written DIY guide to making make-up. One of the best DIY cosmetic books in my library.

Love this book. Made serum, blackhead vanishing powder and four tubes of lip gloss in a morning and they all work well. Will attempt cleanser next.Lots of background information in the book so you understand what you are doing and why.

Pretty good guide.

Humblebee and Me is one of the best resources in an area which is full of disinformation and drivel.This book is a truly useful collection of skincare and make up recipes which actually work, and do what they claim. It is clear, concise and trustworthy.

Great book for the beginner. Everything is well explained with lots of useful tips. Have tried a couple of the recipies and am hooked!

Great book, very well organised and loads of information.

I never thought I'd be the type of guy to make my own makeup and skincare products, but thanks to this book, I'm now a beauty guru! My wife forced me to buy it for her, but I secretly enjoyed reading it and trying out some of the recipes.The book has everything from DIY lipstick to face masks to hair treatments. I was skeptical at first, but after making my own lip balm and using it throughout the day, I felt like a new man. My lips were so moisturized and soft, I couldn't stop touching them (much to the embarrassment of my coworkers).I even made some products for my wife, and now she's constantly asking me to make more. I never thought I'd be in the business of making my own makeup and skincare, but I must say, it's pretty fun. Who knew mixing different ingredients could be so satisfying?The book itself is easy to follow, even for someone like me who has no experience in this area. It has helpful tips and tricks, and the recipes are straightforward and don't require any fancy equipment. Plus, the satisfaction of using a product you made yourself is priceless.So, if you're like me and never thought you'd be interested in making your own makeup and skincare products, give this book a try. Who knows, you might just become a beauty guru too! And if all else fails, at least you'll have soft, moisturized lips.

La entrega excelente,el libro llego en bunas condiciones,el contenido del el libro muy completo.

Das Buch enthält neben einer Vielzahl von Rezepten auch Materialbeschreibungen, die gerade für Anfänger sehr hilfreich sind. Von Primer über Mineralfoundation, Brauenschminke und Gesichtsreiniger findet man eine Fülle von Ideen, die einem auch zum Experimentieren anregen. Auch für Fortgeschrittene ein empfehlenswertes Buch. Nur....Englisch sollte man allerdings schon können.....

O livro está muito completo, adoro as instruções, as fotos, um ótimo trabalho.

Les recettes données sont bien, intelligentes mais ne fonctionnent pas pour tous les types de peaux malheureusement. Sans doute que le livre commence à dater maintenant. Hâte que l’auteur en sorte un nouveau.
