About
My name is Andi Bradshaw, I’m a makeup artist/
esthetician and I write instructional beauty books. Of the 28 books I’ve written, you’ll find one that suits your needs. There are full makeup books for those who want to start from the beginning and cover every aspect of facial makeup for the average woman.
There are also age specific books for those who just want to know about a specific topic. There are skin care books for tweens, teen boys, teen girls, Moms and mature women. You’ll also find books that cover a broader range of topics, but if you just want to know how to arch your eyebrows, do a smoky eye or how to keep your lipstick from travelling, we have just the book for you.
The Usurper King (The Plantagenet Legacy Book 3)
Description
<p><span style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">First, he led his own uprising. Then he captured a forsaken king. Henry had no intention of taking the crown for himself; it was given to him by popular acclaim. Alas, it didn't take long to realize that that having the kingship was much less rewarding than striving for it. Only three months after his coronation, Henry IV had to face a rebellion led by Richard's disgruntled favorites. Repressive measures led to more discontent. His own supporters turned against him, demanding more than he could give. The haughty Percies precipitated the Battle of Shrewsbury which nearly cost him the throne—and his life.</span><br style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;" /><span style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">To make matters worse, even after Richard II's funeral, the deposed monarch was rumored to be in Scotland, planning his return. The king just wouldn't stay down and malcontents wanted him back.</span></p>
Story Behind The Book
My passion has always been makeup. I’ve worked on several local (Maryland, D.C. and Northern Virginia) film and music video productions as well as national tv shows, such as 60 Minutes, America’s Most Wanted and Wall $treet Week. For most of the past 20 years, my primary 9 to 5 has been working as a regional, department store, platform makeup artist. During that time I’ve given facials, taught skin care classes or applied makeup to over 15,000 faces. Over 1,000 of those were women/girls for special occasions (models, brides and proms). Most of the women wanted the same thing, a book that could show them how to do (at home) what I was doing.
I listened, remembered, and I put my skin care knowledge and makeup experience into these books in a way that a true beginner can follow and understand and the experienced will learn the latest tips, tricks and techniques used today. I've answered the requests for easy to follow, stroke by stroke, illustrated techniques, and can guarantee your satisfaction.
Reviews
Thank you Andi, I have many makeup books but yours is the first that makes it easy for me to understand why and how I use my products. Your clear discriptions and photos were so helpful. I followed your diagrams and actually arched my own eyebrows. When friends asked for the name of the person who did them, I knew they looked as good as I thought they did. I feel so much more confident in the way I look and I thank you for that. Maria Hernandez
