Timeless: Recreate the Classic Makeup and Hairstyles from 100 Years of Beauty Hardcover – October 2, 2018

I purchased this for my granddaughter who possible wants to go into cosmetology (today anyway!) she loved it. the photographs are beautiful and the descriptions of how to recreate the looks are clear.

What an impressive hardcover book! It has beautiful pictures of women with hairstyles and makeup spanning decades. It also gives history of the type of makeup as well as a few instructions of how to do these hairstyles. I’m hooked!

This was very well written! It covers the technical details of hair and makeup for those who do those things. It more importantly highlights the subtle differences and evolutions of ‘the look’ of each era. Not just technically but also via sharing the history that shaped the looks of each era. Excellent formatting, photography, and readability. Solid five stars for anyone interested in the history, the looks, and/or the ‘how to’ of doing it.

This book is is gorgeous. Well curated. The models are stunning. Contains super useful info for recreating these looks such as the type of cosmetics used for each era of history, setting patterns for hair styles that are clearly illustrated, step by step instructions for achieving the looks, and cosmetic colors that were popular by era. There is a full chapter on just about every decade in the last (20th) century with at least 6-8 different looks in each chapter. Authentic representations, not modern interpretations. Tons of full color photography. This is the book I have been looking for. A much better tutorial that just about any other book out there. This is what I was hoping I was getting when I ordered Dita VonTeese’s book. This book delivered. Highly recommended.

If you want nice vintage looks and shortcuts to get there then this is your book, the research is not really accurate but it is really helpful for a "I need to do this right now" guide as well as an introduction to vintage styles, not for the serious historian or re-creator/ interpreter of historic make up. recommended, but not a bible

I bought this for a makeup artist friend. I thought it would be a great resource for makeup and hair from different eras.

Im a collector for such books, and this one is one of the best. It is written by tow of the best makeup and hair artists in the world. Im happy to own the book of these tow real ARTISTS . I wish to know them personally and be a friend of them .

I really enjoyed this book for the various decades it’s provided in fashion from the 1950s to current. You got a look from the perspective of hairstyle, make up, and fashion style for that decade.
