4) The Look Book: 50 Iconic Beauties and How to Achieve Their Signature Styles

Bibliography: Stalder, Erika; The Look Book: 50 Iconic Beauties and How to Achieve Their Signature Styles; Zest Books; 2011, ISBN 978-0981973388

Plot: A how-to book on beauty.  The book focuses on lips, eyes, brows, skin & face, and hair.  Each section shows a celebrity that made the look famous and a bit of background of the celebrity.  The book then shows the materials that are needed to create the look, as well as, a step by step guide on how to master the look on you.  The book also gives examples of other celebrities that have rocked the look. 

Review: This is a great book for young girls just starting to wear make-up.  The step by step guide is easy to understand and very user friendly.  Young girls will love learning all of the new ways to style their hair, eyes, and lips.  A great benefit of the book is that every look lists who the look will work best on.  Luckily, most of the looks are for anyone, but there are a few looks that are best used on certain skin types or hair types.  The downfall of the book is that some of the celebrities are very dated.  Many young girls looking at this book may find the celebrity not relatable.  Other than that I feel that this is a great book for girls who love to make up their face.

Genre: Nonfiction/Beauty

Interest Level: ages 12 and up

Readers Annotation:  Have you ever wanted to look like you belong in movies or on the cover of a magazine?  This book will show you how to perfect your makeup and hair to impress all of your friends.
