The book was written by Natalie Setareh, a well-established professional makeup artist and makeup educator, based in Wiesbaden, Germany. She wrote Be Your Own Makeup Artist: Unleash Your Inner Beauty to help her clients and friends from getting misled by the beauty industry or gimmick advertising. She has continually witnessed the pressure of industry representatives telling people they need to buy this or that, and being sold promises that were completely unrealistic and, sometimes even damaging, to their self-confidence. The bottom-line is, many sales representatives are simply trying to amp up their commissioned sales quota and just want you to buy more expensive products... whether or not they will actually work for you.

As a makeup artist, Natalie believes that it's not about wearing makeup everyday or wearing a lot of makeup in general, it's about knowing how to wear makeup for the moments in life that matter. Those moments when it's so important that your inner confidence matches your outer confidence.

You deserve to learn how to wear makeup and feel confident about which products you're using, how to apply them, and how you present yourself to the world. Be Your Own Makeup Artist puts you back in control, so you can feel empowered to unleash your inner beauty using ONLY the products and techniques that truly work for you and your lifestyle.
