Eyeliner, mascara, blush, highlighter, concealer, bronzer, moisturizer, foundation — these may just be some of the products typically found in a makeup bag, but most makeup lovers' collections might be missing one important component: makeup books. From Bobbi Brown's amazing makeup manuals and Kevyn Aucoin's timeless beauty advice to Anjali Mahto's wonderful wisdom on skin care and Sarah Jane Dowling's eye-opening look at cosmetics through the decades, makeup- and beauty-centric literature not only offers great insight but can also teach a thing (or 10) along the way. Here are 25 makeup- and beauty-focused books every makeup lover should add to their collection.
