Product Description
Makeup Your Mind deftly combines cult favorite cosmetics designer François Nars’ two remarkable talents—makeup and photography, both of which he uses in this collection to stunning effect—to show women how to enhance their natural beauty. Designed by renowned graphic artist Fabien Baron to be the ultimate makeup how-to book, Makeup Your Mind is a comprehensive compilation of Before and After photographs, each containing instructional acetate overlays, covering almost every face type, complexion, eye color, and facial feature found on the runway today. Makeup Your Mind is also a revolutionary instruction manual on makeup from one of the most respected and imitated cosmetics artists in fashion today: a makeup book designed and constructed as a durable paperback companion suitable for the vanity or for the car, sliding in and out of its attractive hardcover binder as needed, containing precise instructional guides on clear plastic overlays indicating exactly what goes where, allowing you to see the finished effect for perfect results.
Summarizing each chapter on "Eyes", "Lips", "Neutrals", "Shimmer", "Monochrome and Suntan", "Pastels", Color, and "Skincare" are François Nars’ trademarked guidelines on the technique of applying makeup for that dazzling NARS look.
Showcasing the famous NARS look are today’s top models, including Karen Elson, Maggie Rizer, Naomi Campbell, Devon Aoki, Trish Goff, Erin O’Connor, Sophie Dahl, May Anderson, Ling, Aurelie, Missy Rayder, Elsa, Caroline Ribero, Eva Herzagova, and many others.
Makeup Your Mind features these women and more in sixty-three stunning Before and After pictures. All of the models were shot sans makeup for the Before pictures, displaying their bare-naked faces replete with imperfections and idiosyncrasies. Their transformations in the After pictures span from natural and elegant to fun and outrageous. In superb four-color photographs and brilliant acetate instructional guides, Makeup Your Mind demonstrates how makeup can minimize flaws and maximize beauty potential for every woman.

Not Impressed,
By dashndazz "dashndazz" (lodi, nj United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Make Up Your Mind (Hardcover)
First of all, the introduction rubbed me the wrong way and I found it full of contradictions and a way to knock other makeup artists. He mentioned that makeup articles in "these books" are blatently unrealistic because of the retouching, yet I didn't see one blood vessle in the eyes in any of the pictures in this book. He also says you should "notice the woman, not her makeup", but isn't that hard to do when you look at a face with acid green, orange and gold eyeshadow topped off with bushy eyebrows? All of the models seem to be in the same age range and are obviously professional models. How does this benefit the reader who really needs and wants advise? Why didn't he pick people off the street to really get his point across? The pictures are large and self explanitory, but he was better off choosing a wide variety of women based on age, race etc. so everyone benefits.

A Makeup Book to Appreciate,
This review is from: Make Up Your Mind (Hardcover)
I ordered this book recently while waiting for the Make Up Your Mind - Express Yourself book that is due to be released in April. The negative comments/reviews become quite funny in a "how could they not get it" and a "they obviously didn't read the book" sorta way. In the text Nars quietly explains the intention and the need for a book like this. First it's just make up: no clothes, no distracting hair that is often used to emphasize this dramatic makeover quality. He explains that he did not want to have tiny bad-lit images before images to be contrasted with the 'smiling' after, but instead made the befores identically lit and positioned so that the reader could learn and compare all aspects of the left image to the right. In this way he shares how he learnt makeup: by really looking at images. He comments that the women before are as beautiful as they are after and that the makeup is used to draw attention to existing beauty as they should be used on all women. His philosophy is that makeup artistry should not be about masking the person with makeup but rather having fun drawing attention to a women's (or man's) beauty. Also, François Nars writes, in the book, that his techniques are easy to replicate and that is the point. Beautiful makeup application shouldn't be complicated; which he also writes in the book.So, the reviews that criticize these points truly didn't get it or even try/read a single word. Excellent book - thank you! [...]

Great Nars Guide,
By
This review is from: Make Up Your Mind (Hardcover)
This makeup book is good. It is a great way to see before and after shots, and to see how each look is achieved. You should be warned that only Nars makeup products are used. It does not mean that each look cannot be recreated with other makeup, but that it is the only brand talked about and used seeing as it was written by the brand's creator. My biggest negative issue with the book was the format in which it is bound. It is a heavy book (with the cover), and the spiral format makes the thin pages susceptible to tearing. You must handle with care if you get this. Other than having to handle it very carefully, very useful for makeup artists and enthusiasts alike.
