Product Description
Book Description
Kevyn Aucoin partners with the industry's greatest talents to create an exquisite, star-studded collection of portraits, and reveals some timeless beauty tips that helped earn him his super-status in the fashion industry.
It's a visual feast as supermodels and celebrities such as Susan Sarandon, Jessica Lange, Grace Jones, Christie Brinkley and Janet Jackson, to name a few, are exquisitely made up by Aucoin and photographed by the world's most famous photographers, including Richard Avedon, Patrick Demarchelier, Steven Meisel, Michael Thompson and Peter Lindbergh.
The Art of Makeup includes an introduction by Linda Wells, editor of Allure, and essays by Donna Karan, Cindy Crawford, Polly Mellen and Liza Minnelli that discuss Aucoin's talent, his incredible rise in his field and what he's like to work with. It also features tips to help women achieve the Aucoin look. Through step-by-step instructions, sample makeovers and an explanation of the 10 most common beauty mistakes and the four basic makeup combinations, Aucoin helps women accentuate their positive features, enhance their beauty and look and feel their best.
Elegant and instructional, this book is a celebration of beauty and a remarkable showcase of the talents of a man who has defined the look of the '90s.

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!
