Makeup is Not (Just) Magic is pretty good at what it does: help beginners learn to use makeup based on their skin type and preferences. The art is cute and simplistic, and the explanations are short and concise, making them easy to follow.
Each chapter focuses on something specific like types of cleansers that exist and which one you should use based on your skin type (dry/oily/combination). They even cover how to handle moments like touch-ups after long hours of sweating. I seriously learned so much about all sorts of things, especially lipsticks/balms and how to apply them for specific effects!
The read itself feels much more like a fun comic guide than a manga you can get entertainment from, so I highly recommend it for someone who wants to learn simple tips and the basics of makeup more than anything else. For that purpose, it absolutely excels. For anyone who lacks confidence or wants to try a new look with a little guidance, this is a great place to start.
