About this deal

the graphic design within is not only dated but so poorly executed that it's painful to look at parts of the pages at times. If you practice and master the looks in the book then you will be able to handle pretty much anything else the industry sets before you. The next section, which is entirely celebrities, is more "glamorous" but gives you the details of how to acheive those looks as well. 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.

This incredible book demonstrates the art of makeup with famous individuals made up to look like other celebrities with astonishing results. Couch sheen is Fern's uncle/ Bailey's dad, he couched ambrose before the incident then couched him back to his old self after. the photos and actual makeup looks in this book are stunning, and as i said i really enjoyed hearing kevyns thoughts, which are mostly the books saving graces for me and keep its rating two stars, but with all its deficits in mind, i wouldnt recommend this book to as many people as i thought i might. I would have loved to see more vibrant looks, like Green eyeshadow, blue lipstick, a mardi gras look, vampire costume look, punk or goth, and some REALLY fun, maybe even halloween-inspired looks.I did at times wish that he went more into the color and art theory behind his thought processes, but I suppose that would be a different book. It is an ambiguous blend of different facial features from different races: the uptilted eyes of East Asians, the full lips of black women, golden tan skin of Latinx people, sharp cheekbones of Native Americans, long dark lashes of Middle Eastern women etc. The second part includes detailed and illustrated step-by-step guides on how to achieve dozens of different make-up looks. His client roster read like a Who's Who of the entertainment world's elite: this list included Sharon Stone, Whitney Houston, Linda Evangelista, Mary Tyler Moore, Cindy Crawford, Elizabeth Hurley and Bette Midler, among many, many others. I'm not saying he had to go nuts with special effects makeup, but a bit more diversity in coloring would have been nice.

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 . I've read it several times myself and my friends and family are always picking it up when they come over. 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. Kevyn Aucoin also offers tidbits about his philosophy on makeup and charming stories of his life that relates to makeup.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. Also, a BIG plus, is that Kevyn was not afraid to use women of all colors, black white, asian, whatever.
