i’m most excited by foundations!
I am most excited in reading about foundations!
I´m excited to read about egypt makeup!!!
I would like to know about the globalisation
Confrontations of course! (Though all parts sound really interesting!) But this section sounds like it’s going to be about standard beauty and conforming to or rebelling against it. I love provocation and rebellion against society, because it wakes people up and makes them (re)think. Especially in “beauty” this should be a big issue, which I’m curious to read about.
I’m most interested in reading Projections.
Foundations!!..*_-
I think Globalisation would be most interesting.
Civilisations!!!
I would say the book of Confrontation. I love that era (architecture, fashion, beauty, politics…) and reading books about it.
NICE giveaway! Would really looove to win! <3
I'm interested in the Foundations and Globalisation parts, but most Foundations.
i have my eye on this but it’s a bit pricey for me to buy. i would LOVE to win it! woooo!
i think the confrontations part sound interesting.
The foundations is what really caught me eye, I’m really interested in the origins of beauty.
I’m really interested in the Projections book!
The part that I would be more excited to read is civilisations
I’m excited to read about the Projections!! <3
definitely the “projections” one, it’s amazing to see how far the beauty science and industry have come, but i think it is far more interesting to see what’s next on their book. besides airbrush makeup and gimmicky stuff like lipgloss with led lights, there must me so much that can be done.
PROJECTIONS! I am so excited to see what they are predicting.
I will definitly check this out even if i don’t win!
I’m actually excited to read Confrontations. That sounds so interesting.
wicked!
“foundations” and “civilisations” are the two that i would pick up first – i’m still researching a “history of makeup” series that i want to do – these would help a lot! lol 
I am really interested in Globalisation. As the world becomes more and more connected and cultures mesh together, it will be interesting how beauty, products, beauty trends and cutrual views on beauty start to intertwine.
I’m most interested in projections
I’m interested in Foundations to read about the origins of beauty.
Yes!! Projections!!
Civilizations! It’s cool to learn what kinds of things that people have used to primp themselves over the years.
I think foundations would be the most interesting!
can’t chose b/w foundations and projections…now that i’m thinking about it, it would be cool to see the progression of beauty so the middle 3 wouldn’t be bad either. Forget it, I chose them all.
I’m interested in Projections!
awesome giveaway – thanks so much! I love beauty and I love to read, so this is right up my alley! definitely most excited to read about projections!
What a treasure this would be to have. I’m most excited about the “globalisations” part, mainly because it will hopefully explain the makeup habits of certain cultures, and give us a better understanding as to why they do certain things and how they got started.
I’m most interested in foundations!
Definitely Foundations!
Really interested in projections, but what i’m most interested in is all the pictures, haha.
Civilisations
I am all about the history. so definitely interested in reading “Civilisations”
very cool!
How interesting! I think I’d like to read Confrontations.
I’ve loved to read Civilisations. Historical accounts of beauty through the ages sounds amazing interesting.
Definetely ‘Civilisations’, it would be interesting to read about beauty in different civilisations
Civilisations
b/c i’m a HUGE history nerd
Cool!
Im more interested in Civilisations.
I’m very interested in Confrontations…beauty has changed so much, and during the classical periods, what was considered to be beautiful changed all the time. It would be cool to see how much those changes have affected what we currently consider to be appealing.
What an awesome prize for makeup junkies like us!
OHM!
I really need to win this!
i’m totally book addicted!
its very hard to choose, but i think i can’t wait to read the part “civilisations”
Wow! What a great prize! Thank you Christine!
The part of the book that I’m most excited to read is Confrontations!
I’m definitely interested in foundations or projections!
Civilisations definately cause i study history and this would be an interesting and unusual addition to my studies.
So hard to choose! I guess probably Modernity/Globalisation b/c I’m completely enamoured with mid-twentieth century makeup application
Confrontations. I love to the Classical Age when things started to boom and the enlightenment of new ideas!
I would LOVE to read Foundations…love history!
Foundations – how it all began!
As an anthropology grad – civilisations for sure!
I’m most excited about reading how beauty has different standards in different -civilisations-, and how it has changed over time.
i’m most excited to read foundations! yay
i’d love to read it all, but globalization and the future sound the most interesting
I’m interested in foundations, because I want to see how the early civilizations did their makeup
definitely globalization…but the entire series appeals to me!
I would be interested in reading civilizations!
I am most interested in Confrontations.
The entire book seem to be very interesting,but the Globalisation part seems to be the most interesting:D
Confrontations and Projections sound really interesting, although the entire series is probably fascinating.
Foundations and Projections.
Globalisation!!!
globalisation! ^__^
I would love to read globalisation…..but I want to read them all!
I would love to read about foundations and how everything came to be. How people were able to formulate such a thing from sheer to full coverage and what the ideology was behind it.
Thanks for doing this contest, Christine
I’m excited to read about “Confrontations”. I can’t even imagine what could possibly have been so “confrontational” about make up! Maybe war paint?
So excited.
I saw this in the marie claire magazine I think,
Projections would be very interesting to read!
Globalization looks super interesting!
Wow! This is great!
I’m interested in “civilisations” to see how we have evolved. What beauty meant in old days and how we are different now.
Wao,I don’t know what which part I would like the most but perhaps the “globalisation”…Thanks for the price!
Prehistory/Foundations, definitely!
Projections! I love the way the entire set looks. Ahhh I can’t wait!
I’d love to read Globalisation– I’d love to learn more about cultural similarities and differences for makeup!
Thanks for the opportunity! I think I would want to read Projections the most.
Projections sounds very interesting. I am curious to see what beauty trends are to come!
i really want to know more about foundation which i think is the most important for makeup
The book that I would be most excited to read would be Globalisation. Beauty has a different definition in lots of different countries and it would be fascinating to learn about that!
Foundations of course
I’d love to be able to read it all tough!
Civilizations! The Globalization section also seems pretty interesting.
I’m most interested in reading the Civilisations
I’m most excited about the civilizations part!
I am most interested in the Projections! Definitely makes me wonder about the future of beauty.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Foundations!! Thanks Christine your awesome.
I am looking forward to the “Projections” part of the book because a lot of makeup has basically kept the same formula over the past century or two and I would like to know the stance experts in beauty have on the future of the cosmetic industry!
I think confrontations would be the most interesting. It’s always exciting to see how confrontations arise and how they’re resolved in the end. I’m always surprised by the innovative solutions that people come up with to solve problems.
Projections!!
I am most interested in Projections! =D
My favorite feature in any magazine/publication is a feature on global beauty. To me there is nothing more interesting than the global flow of ideas, and what is trendy where.
Working in the beauty industry I’m having a hard time deciding which I’m most interested in! As a professional, probably the Projections, but personally the Foundations is seductive.
I’m excited to read Civilizations. I think this part will have the most information about how makeup began to impact society and culture.
I’m interested in foundations!
I am interested in civilizations!
projections look very interesting. the future seems really cool
definitely one of the earlier installations, like “foundations.” i think it’s fascinating to see what the ideal of beauty was thousands of years ago.
Definetly foundations…I want to know who started this fascinating thing!!!
I am very interested in reading foundations!
I would love to read the Civilizations part of the book. Probably read that first and then the rest. I’m sure it’s all good.
I am interested in projections!!
Ooh, hard to pick, but I think Foundations!
I think Civilizations would be the most interesting! How did most cultures use/view the use of makeup? Very cool.
