The Face of the Century-my review

"The Face of the Century: 100 Years of Make-up and Style" was a wonderful learning experience. It is a non-fiction book about the history of make-up and fashion (mainly make-up). I have always been interested in make-up, fashion, style and things of that nature, so reading this book was very fun and fascinating for me. Besides all the interesting facts in the book, I loved all the photographs included in it. You can read all you want, but to see what lipstick ads looked like in 1930, and to see how the definition of beauty has changed throughout the years was fascinating. I certainly recommend this book to anybody interested in make-up and fashion and/or history.
