    Hi Krystal,

    Thanks for the comments; its always useful to get ones from RGs.

    Did you mean the book by Joy Terri?

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Make-up-Book-Womans-Applying-Weekend/dp/1859740995

    or the one by Leigh Toselli

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Make-Up-Book-Leigh-Toselli/dp/1843304600

    Both are called "The Make Up Book"

    Maybe you could put some tips of your own here, but can you please use standard English and not textspeak.
    hugs Pauline xxx

    The sally norton one didnt appear in the google search i did, so thanks for recommending it specifically.

    What I did find was someone who recommended a whole series of make up guides, including for Asian and Afro Caribbean as well as Caucasian skins

    hears a basic bit of advise for finding your right foundation that fits in the shop you normally get testers pick 3 or more and put a dab on your cheek and blend in witch one that disapears and blends in with your skin is the one you want

    One of the problems for Tgirls is that we have to apply beard cover or a base to start with; so its very a very different starting point than from you.

    Maybe you could summarize some tips and write a blog? Or make Krystals tips here or create different forum topic with that as a heading. I can help get that going. If you just post 25 tips here on this thread in one go it will be overwhelming.
