2. Express Makeup by Rae Morris
Rae Morris is one of Australia’s leading makeup artists. We loved her first book about eye makeup, Beautiful Eyes, but this one is even better because it focuses on easy-to-achieve looks for women who want to look beautiful fast.
Featuring hundreds of tips and techniques, plus step-by-step pics and how-to instructions, this is the perfect makeup book for every busy woman.
This book would make an exceptional gift by itself. But you may like to accompany it with some makeup, or makeup brushes.

3. Dreaming Of Chanel by Charlotte Smith
Fashionistas will cherish this beautiful book. It’s the stunningly illustrated sequel to Dreaming Of Dior.
It was written by Charlotte Smith, who inherited her godmother’s priceless vintage couture collection. Featuring more than 3000 originals by the likes of Dior and Chanel, dating from 1790 to 1995, this is a wardrobe every woman would love to own, and this keepsake book reveals the stories behind each item.
