After reading Lisa’s fantastic debut book ‘Easy on the Eyes’ I was left wanting more!! The way she talks about beauty with such passion and enthusiasm is infectious, so when she announced this second book – I preordered right away! I received the Makeup Manual this morning and I’m glad to report that it’s every inch as brilliant and the first – if not better!! The images in this book are all UNRETOUCHED which I think is amazing, because the gorgeous ladies inside the book look flawless already!!xx Makeup Manual is crammed full with industry tips, tricks and knowledge from Lisa’s 12 years of experience. She makes professional results easy to achieve by breaking them down step by step, and with handy product recommendations to cater every need. A brilliant read for makeup artists, beauty enthusiasts or anyone who enjoys a good bitta lippy
xx Well done on another smasher Lisa!!xxx

Bought as a gift for someone starting to learn about makeup techniques and getting into makeup.
Was well received and loved it.

I’ve followed Lisa on social media for a couple of years and her easy to follow tutorials and enormous enthusiasm for make up have given me the confidence to try new products and use make up and skincare to feel a million dollars.
What I love about this book is you don’t have to overhaul your make up bags with 100s of expensive products to get the looks. Lisa has so many tips and tricks, you can adapt existing products and build technique without having to be an expert. The looks are super easy to follow and I love that she’s added tricks for covering things like pigmentation and dark circles … AND a great section for glasses wearers!
There’s something for everyone in this book and I really couldn’t recommend it more.
In fact, I’ve just bought a second copy for my mum in law because there’s a ton of great advice for “slightly older ladies” too.
Great job, Lisa!

This book has lovely illustrations and can be used to explain basic and more advanced make up techniques. It was a well received gift for grand daughter who is beginning to experiment with make up.

Today I received The Make Up Manual by Lisa Potted Dixon and wow it was worth the wait!!!
I have been following Lisa’s hints and tips for a few years now and religiously watch her YouTube videos every Friday. I can honestly say that Lisa’s personality from her videos translates into her books. Reading this new book I feel that Lisa is reading the pages to me just like her videos!
Right onto the book! Lisa takes you through each stage of make up from the basics of skin care to more complex make up techniques. I love how Lisa breaks down each section so that you know what to look for and different techniques for skin type, colour etc.
I especially like the section on how to apply eye make up to your eye shape. As with Lisa’s first book Easy On The Eyes once you practice the looks a few times I can do them in 5 or 10 minutes.
I work part time and have two young children and the tips Lisa gives in her books have really helped me get my make up looking fantastic. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves make up and wants to try new looks or just want learn new techniques.
Thank you again Lisa x

A nice book with simple instructions, good pictures and not too much photophop. Some of the looks may be a bit impractical but I’ve also learned some useful tricks and tips.
