Makeup artistry book and video recommendations?

I'm going shopping , I would like to pick up a good makeup artistry book so I can practice.Can someone tell me a good video as well? It'll be greatly appreciated.Preferrably something that focuses on blending too!

Bump!  Can someone give this person some recommendations?

if you're fairly young, bobbie brown has some nice books, personally i find videos more informative (and free!) youtube gurus you need to watch: pixiwoo gossmakeupartist makeupgeek kandeejohnson nurberxo and juicystar07 has some amusing yet good videos (watch out for her sneeky product placement though, she gets paid to show you them)

Thank you, I will check them out now!

...more but i can't remember the names.

I have a book by Bobbi Brown and it's really good with explaining the basics. I also have Frederick Fekkai book called a Year In Style and it's a great book about everything from hair to skin care if you are looking more of a french au naturel approach. 

Thannk you very much, I'm excited to look at all of these!!!!

Kevyn Aucoin's books are the ones I have and they're really good - the makeup is REALLY heavy but they're still really good.

I need to get my hands on NARS and Jemma Kidd's books.

Lisa Elderidge is good, so too are Pixiwoo, Petrilude and gossmakeupartist

I agree with all these.  I love the Kevyn Aucoin books.  I have also learned ALOT from both Petrilude (more makeup looks and tips)  and Goss (alot of basics and product reviews).
