Hence, he’s put together this book and packed it with more than 200 illustrations and invaluable tips for professional-grade makeup application. However, it's good to be reminded of the theory behind make-up application and it will certainly be of good use as a reference for make-up looks of a certain decade.

Now, he is one of the most notable makeup artists of our generation and seeing him live his truth and release such popular makeup products is very inspiring. kind of moved by how makeup is used as a tool and treated as an art to transform people and how everyone has so much beauty in them… what if umiyak na lang ako! I liked reading about his past as well and feel very proud that he survived his turbulent adolescence growing up as a closeted gay teen in a conservative small town. However, it is an interesting book and it's fascinating seeing the difference between the before and after pics and seeing the stars and models portray beauty icons of the past.I will insist other people read it so they can tell me what it says and how we could all learn from it. This was the first book on beauty I encountered that suggested to me that makeup can be used to express a feeling, a facet of yourself, an aspiration of who you wish to be in the moment. I've kept it through several moves, including a period of my life where all my belongings were split between the three friend's houses I was couchsurfing on. I have yet to see a makeup book that truly incorporates diversity in beauty or showcases ordinary women with skin problems. I tried to recreate one of Kevyn's looks on Lisa Marie Presley, which has always been one of my favourites.

He was a guest on many television programs, including Oprah , the Today show, Good Morning America , VH-I's Fashion Television , MTV's House of Style and Entertainment Tonight . It's a far cry from anything he could do before he passed away, but I felt like sharing for the sake of the review. I'm not saying he had to go nuts with special effects makeup, but a bit more diversity in coloring would have been nice. Beautiful photographs, clear instructions and drawings, with makeup styles which are still fashionable today, you can read in detail, or just flick through, it is absorbing.

Beautiful coffee table book, easy to follow instructional manual with products and makeup tools listed to recreate looks featured. Aucoin's gift was seeing the beauty in everyone and in bringing it out by being present and highlighting what's already there, and that is something which is simply not bound by time; it's just pure artistry. He was a guest on many television programs, including Oprah, the Today show, Good Morning America, VH-I's Fashion Television, MTV's House of Style and Entertainment Tonight. Being more of a sunscreen and lipgloss kind of woman today, I think I should go get this book again just for the pleasant nostalgia.What was REALLY great about this book is the expansive amount of celebrity photos that Kevyn used, everyone from Vanessa Williams, to Drew Barrymore, to Demi Moore.

That's exactly what you'll be able to do with the help of books authored by legendary makeup artist Kevyn Aucoin. Seeing a book by Kevin Aucoin written in the early 2000s reinforces the fact more than ever: lines are blurring and boundaries in beauty are disappearing. Also, a BIG plus, is that Kevyn was not afraid to use women of all colors, black white, asian, whatever. Ich brachte mir das Schminken mit diesem Buch vor Jahrzehnten selbst bei, jetzt ist es für mich ein ansprechendes Nachschlagewerk. In a book that features 60 instructional watercolor sketches and step-by-step recipes for dozens of different looks, the world's most renowned makeup artist shares his makeup secrets with women everywhere.If I had not seen the step by step directions for some of the looks, I would have NEVER guessed who it was! According to Kevin, he argues that makeup can make anyone any race they want, saying he can be Asian one moment and Spanish the next.
