I would really love to comment on the effectiveness of the information given in this book (as I am sure that it is quite helpful), but unfortunately, I cannot do that. I purchased the eBook, which is not compiled properly at all! In most of the places, the words from adjacent pages overlap, leaving large blank spaces in some places, and overlapping text in others. If that is not bad enough, the font is not exactly legible in some parts of the book. In short, if you buy the eBook, good luck understanding the text in it! You would think that at least the pictures would be helpful, but no! Most of the pictures given in the book are of the end results of the makeup lessons given in the book. It would be a lot more helpful if the author provided pictures of the step-by-step process, because I have no idea how any of the other readers could learn how to apply makeup by just seeing what the end result is going to be. I honestly think that there are better makeup books out there, since this book does not set the bar very high.
