Making Faces

Product Information

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. while i love and respect kevyn aucoin and what he has done for makeup artistry, and i loved hearing about his thoughts and experiences in this book, it is truly such a mess.

Kevyn Aucoin shares his secrets, explaining not only the basics of make-up application and technique but also how to use those fundamentals to create a wide range of different looks. We can take inspiration from makeup looks from different cultures and imitate the looks of different races. 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. Ich brachte mir das Schminken mit diesem Buch vor Jahrzehnten selbst bei, jetzt ist es für mich ein ansprechendes Nachschlagewerk.Back then I was probably more interested in the pictures than anything else this book had to offer (it has a lot! 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.

Kevyn Aucoin's story of growing up, the stories of his siblings, and their role in the development of his talent is compelling and inspiring. That's exactly what you'll be able to do with the help of books authored by legendary makeup artist Kevyn Aucoin.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. 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. 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. He wanted people to know his book wasn’t really about makeup, rather, about helping others find their true beauty within and reflecting on the outside their inner beauty and how transformative that can be.
