Hmm, no, it's pretty different tone. The Beautiful Doll class has a much lighter and subtle skin tone. The peaches and cream has a lot warmer feel to it, and I used darker flesh tones. If you are not planning on taking the rooting DVD class, then I would definately hang onto the P&C E book for the rooting part of it, though, as the Beautiful Doll Class does not have rooting in it.
