Review: Great gift for makeup-obsessed tween - I got this as a gift for my 11 year-old niece, who loves makeup. She adores it. She likes seeing makeup throughout history. The pictures are great. It is a serious book but makeup lovers would love this coffee table book. Review: A must for any makeup lover! - Such a beautiful book! I just adore looking at all the pictures and the information on the history, while pretty concise is very fascinating just the same! I really like how the author takes the reader through all the decades of makeup as well as the popular colors for each decade. The vintage photos of old makeup ads and packaging is so much fun to look at! Just an all around gorgeous book to own and looks fantastic on a coffee table or a vanity. A must have for any makeup lover! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #382,502 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #133 in Design History & Criticism #302 in Fashion History #480 in Grooming & Style | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 240 Reviews | ## Images ![Classic Beauty: The History of Makeup - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71GZXknLBjL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great gift for makeup-obsessed tween *by M***R on May 25, 2026* I got this as a gift for my 11 year-old niece, who loves makeup.

A must have for any makeup lover! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beauty is in the eye! *by R***E on November 23, 2011* I have been involved with cosmetics and the business of beauty for many years and feel that Gabriela Hernandez has created not only a visually stunning and sensory book full of gorgeous photos but has actually defined the "art" of makeup and the use of cosmetics since inception! This book is an extrordinay value for the price and I cannot think of anyone who loves to present themself in a polished manner than wouldn't enjoy every page! It's obvious that she loves what she does so beautifully and this is a MUST HAVE book for the modern day "cosmatae" (cosmetic artist) whether pro or simply someone who loves beauty and makeup! ## Frequently Bought Together - Schiffer Publishing Classic Beauty: The History of Makeup - Face Paint: The Story of Makeup --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/42528962-classic-beauty-the-history-of-makeup](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/42528962-classic-beauty-the-history-of-makeup) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-06-06*
