i recently brought "Dont Go to the Makeup Counter without me" Great book b/c it goes over all the makeup brands from drugstore to highend. It basically helps you with whats worth the money and whats not. It is based off someones opinion but it helps...And for the most part it has been pretty on point for me.

PS. there is several editions of this book

Bobbi Brown's Makeup Manual... it has a little bit of everything to get you started.

I really love Making Faces by Kevyn Aucoin. There are a lot of tips and tricks. He also shows a lot of before and after photos. My favorite part of the book is where they have celebrities transformed into famous beauty icons.:)

Kevyn Aucoin is practically god in the makeup world. Can't go wrong with either of his books.
