This is an immediate fascinating read! Learning about the history of beauty, especially as it relates to famous male figures throughout history who aren't traditionally credited with having a role in the evolution of beauty, is absolutely intriguing. While I don't care as much for the how-to guide aspect of the book, since I don't actually wear make-up, I still believe its a nice inclusion in the novel that showcases makeup throughout history. This is definitely on my list to read soon!
