What is a good beauty book to help myself know everything on make up and to become a freelance make up artist? I heard of a Robert jones one but I forget the name of it.

I can't remember the name of that one either, but I'd ask Jacqueline. I'd also recommend Making Faces and Face Forward by Kevyn Aucoin.

I agree with Hannah W. Those books are great, especially face forward... Bobbi Brown also has a beauty book, if I'm remembering correctly.

I have the Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual and I'm not a fan! It's not bad it's just kind of basic stuff.

If you're looking more for a comprehensive guide to makeup that's more geared towards pros and beneficial to a MUA career- I reccommend the MUD textbook.
It has drills and mini quizzes so you really retain the information
I don't reccommend the Bobbi Brown one since it's more for the beginner or novice not really someone looking for a career :)

Yeah I'm just looking to expand my knowledge. I know most stuff but just an idea for others and including myself wouldn't help.
