Let's not also forget that the book is not just a little 'project' for SAM, it's for profit! The beautiful photos of the stars happen to be one of the reasons I purchased the book. high school students will be reading this book for the very first time, without any prior experience with makeup like the rest of us, so it's good that SAM presented just the basics, its sort of the 'theory' of makeup artistry. Everything comes in stages, and you should always start from the beginning, especially with a book such as this. I just had to say a little something about this book! I've read all the other comments submitted offering constructive critisicm about FINE BEAUTY, as well as Sam's own comments. Fine's book can help beginners get off to a good start, and help intermediates refine their skills, but pro's will be sadly dissapointed. If you are looking for an in-depth manual on how to make yourself look like a star, then look elsewhere. If you enjoy star-gazing, then this book is for you.

Also, the tips on highlighting were helpful, but sadly, I was left wanting more. Fine's tips on blush color and application, I have tried it and it looks great. I once believed that blush was something that women of color could not pull off sucessfully, but thanks to Mr. The first section of the book does give information on make-up basics including tools, and tips for every area of the face. I felt like I was reading his resume' or looking through his portfolio!ĭon't get me wrong it wasn't terrible. Also the end of the book contains more of Mr. Fine's career success, including more than half the book consisiting of pictures with or of his famous clientelle. Instead, the majority of this book is an overview on Mr. Fine Beauty promises beauty basics and beyond for the African-American Women, yet very little space is devoted to teaching women how to master the art of make-up application. Fine has written a very good book, however, the title is a bit misleading.
