A Total Waste of Makeup is a 2005 chick lit novel by Kim Gruenenfelder. The book was an international bestseller, spawning copies in six languages and eight international editions.[1] The book follows Charlize "Charlie" Edwards, a personal assistant in Los Angeles to famed movie star Drew Stanton, and her adventures with her friends. The sequel to the novel, "Misery Loves Cabernet", was released in 2009.[2]

Reception

The book received generally favorable reviews from critics and audiences.[3] Kirkus Reviews spoke positively in their review, stating, "The honesty of emotion they share is refreshing. Gruenenfelder’s debut supplies a splendid vacation from reality."[4] The Library Journal praised the book for Gruenenfelder's Hollywood realism: "Gruenenfelder, a Hollywood screenwriter, knows her setting and her craft. Well-written characters and a wicked sense of humor help this debut stand above the usual chick-lit fare."[5]
