Textbook Beauty

Just when you thought there was nothing new to learn about makeup and skin care, makeup artist Bobbi Brown publishes her ultimate beauty book, Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual ($32; Springboard Press), featuring useful tips such as what to stock in an office desk drawer and what to eat to "feed" your skin. For those completely flummoxed by the increasingly scientific terminology used in skin-care products, Brown provides a glossary decoding everything from peptides to retinoids.
