The expert advice, from almost 50 of beauty's best names – dermatologists and plastic surgeons, cosmetic company founders and makeup artists – kept Girlawhirl flipping pages like crazy. And when she got to the “Meet the Experts” section where she could sneak a peek into Dr. Nicholas Perricone's fridge or check out a day in the life of Tarte's Maureen Kelly, she had to slow down so she wouldn't miss a thing.

There are makeup how-to's throughout the book, from getting bronzer just right to covering dark circles to harnessing the power of the perfect red lip and applying clump-free mascara, with specific products recommended for each. Chapters on skincare including sunscreen, tools of the trade with a super in depth look at makeup brushes, and even an ingredient primer round things out and the finale is none other than Sephora's Top 100 product picks.

This book's coming with Girlawhirl to her next Super Pal get-together. But truth be told, she's pretty sure that everyone will end up wanting her own copy.
