Ok, so I'm looking for some good makeup reference books but am having a hard time finding what I'm looking for since I can see inside the books from the internet

So I'm looking for a some that are more picture oriented, rather than instuctional. It can give how too's, but I'm mainly looking for through-the-years, inspirational pics blah blah blah haha

Those books sound really good. What I do as well is any time I find a pic in a mag. I will tear it out..I have printed some pics from online as well and put them in a binder. I use those plastic sheets to put them in and that way if I want to try one look out I can take it with me without getting anything on it.

I've heard the Bobbi Brown is supposed to be good. I'm worried it might be a bit basic, any good books for more advanced looks?
 
I second the NARS - Make up your Mind book.
It's definitely fits your description better. It's less directional instead it has an overlay you put on the photos so you can see what he used and where.
