The Art of Makeup,
By Natalie (Summit, MS US) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Art of Makeup (Paperback)
More for the aspiring makeup artist than the layperson. Good, but not a lot of everyday, practical information for the career woman. More for special occasions or specialized techniques. Lots of beautiful pictures featuring famous people made up in different styles.

More than a coffee table book,
By Miss Parker "m & s" (Crab Country, MD United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Art of Makeup (Paperback)
Beautiful! I loved this man's work, and this was a perfect showcase for the cream-of-the-crop best photos of his favorite subjects. There are plenty of larger-than-life photos of many celebrities (Susan Sarandon, Brooke Shields, Christy Turlington, Paula Porizkova, and my favorite Canadian (former)supermodel, Linda Evangelista....breathtaking!) There's also a section on basic make-up how-to's and tricks of the trade, and some great pics and anecdotes from him family life. (His mom and sisters were among the first to experience his craft) I bought this back in the mid-90's ... :) A must for anyone who loves make-up and all things beautiful. God bless Kevyn Aucoin, may he rest in peace.... he is missed. =^,,^=

The beginning of a legend,
By Duke Marine (Newbury Park, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Art of Makeup (Paperback)
Kevyn Aucoin is a truly inspiring figure and this first book of his is a great kick off to his coffee table book career! Its *alittle* dated at this point and you can tell when reading his other books that his techniques matured. But he inspired me to become a makeup artist and I still use this book as a reference on some points because its timeless and Kevyn is just a god of makeup!
