One that I like a lot is Makeup Makeovers by Robert Jones, lots of ideas and information on color selection and it explains a lot about all the different types of makeup products and how they're used, as well as basic information on brushes and tools. It focuses more on looks that can be worn for every day instead of the more glamorous, special event looks in books like Kevin Aucoin's.
I also have some older books that are very good. A couple that address correcting specific problems (particularly the second book) are by Michael Maron: Instant Makeover Magic and Makeover Miracles, both are available on Amazon. The first of his books was written way back in the 1980's but I feel that current makeup styles have a lot in common with '80's makeup, so it still has value, particularly if you can find a used copy for cheap. Another one along those lines but a little more new is Plastic Surgery Without the Surgery, The Miracle of Makeup Techniques by Eve Pearl.
Kevin Aucoin's books are brilliant too, I have them also, more for the inspiration than anything. He was truly a genius.
