Product Details

Product Description

From Amazon.com

Based on Aucoin's best-selling books, Making Faces and The Art of Makeup, this calendar bursts with the lusciously made-up faces of Lisa Marie Presley, Andie McDowell, Cher, Isabella Rosellini, and Courtney Love like you've never seen them before. Rosellini, for example, looks just like Barbra Streisand, circa Hello, Dolly; and Presley makes a dead-ringer for Marilyn Monroe. Full-color sketches scattered throughout the days of the month give step-by-step illustrations for re-creating each look, and other beauty tips are scattered throughout. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.


Product Description

America's preeminent makeup artist shares his secrets, explaining not only the basics of makeup application and technique but also how to use the fundamentals to create a wide range of different looks. 200 color photos & sketches.

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical, beautifully illustrated and photographed., Dec 22 2003
By M. E. Volmar (Santo Domingo, Distrito Nacional Dominican Republic) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
I love playing with new looks and colors and this book is the perfect tool on how to make it easy and fun while getting professional looking results. It will help you discover exciting new looks you never dreamed of and the full potential of every makeup tool you own. The instructions on how to accomplish every look in the book are clearly illustrated step-by-step, making them extremely easy to follow. The advice given by the author comes alive with his own funny anecdotes on discovering and experimenting with makeup.

This book is extremely well organized into three sections. The first one covers the basics of what you need to know about each part of your face, how to apply makeup to each, which tools to use and how to enhance and get the most benefit from your strongest features. The second one shows you makeovers done on ordinary people that look like you and me. It includes before and after pictures that show the impact of well-applied makeup on every kind of skin and color combination. The third section is the most impressive part of the book. It shows known celebrities made up like other celebrities that have established iconic looks over the years. (Look for Lisa Marie-Presley as Marilyn Monroe and Isabella Rosellini as Barbra Streisand).

This book also includes a few male makeup techniques, from the conservative (using concealer and powder) to the adventurous (using eyeliner and eyeshadow) to the extremist (using everything from powder and blush to lipstick and a wig).

Although there are three or four extreme looks in this book that I don't think I will ever try, all of the rest can be applied just as they are or with slight modifications. The great advice, easy to follow instructions, funny anecdotes, if not the great photographs alone, make this book a must buy for anyone who uses makeup regularly or sporadically. It's so rewarding that you won't be disappointed.

I recommend buying Beauty: The New Basics by Rona Berg along with this book to complement the makeup knowledge with the best advice on skin care, hair care and beauty products that's available on a printed format.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiration and Instruction!, May 11 2003
By Holly Wade (St. Louis, MO USA) - See all my reviews
This is one of those books you buy on Amazon because of the high recommendations and appreciate for the amazing illustrations as well as the information within. The makeover transformations of celebrities is astounding, especially when you realize that it doesn't really matter how you look without makeup, but that you can look fabulous with the right application. Kevyn Aucion uses color and style, rather than specific cosmetics, to create whatever personna he sees for each woman. A great "picture book" and an excellent reference!

1.0 out of 5 stars nice work---no substance, Oct 31 2003
By A Customer
I bought this when it first came out and returned it because the book doesn't live up to how it was promoted at that time: This is NOT a text book and will teach nothing about how to apply make-up. It does have good pictures of excellent work done on famous people and it give s brief biography of Mr. Aucoin, but it makes no attempt to explain how and why he did what he did. It is a nice portfolio but not a text book.
Go to Mary Quant or Bobbie Brown for that.
