I've kept it through several moves, including a period of my life where all my belongings were split between the three friend's houses I was couchsurfing on.

From everyday and glamorous looks Kevyn Aucoin did on his friends, to the iconic looks of the 20th century: the Bombshell (Marilyn Monroe), the Flapper (Josephine Baker), the Gamine (Audrey Hepburn). Kevyn does a really great job of encouraging the reader to experiment with makeup, and not just with colors, but also with the way you apply it, location, tools, and more. On the other hand, it is good to know that people can explore their creativity with makeup and bridge the gap of being someone other than themselves. I'm not sure how many times I've read this book, but this was the first time I truly appreciated it.The classic -- and gorgeous -- bestseller from one of the most influential makeup artist in history. Se é um livro contando a história da maquiagem, conhecer os bastidores de surgimento de produtos e marcas icônicos, bem como fotografias de maquiagens vintage celebridades e suas maquiagens icônicas, esse livro é pra você. These works cover the basics of makeup application and much more, including how to apply the fundamentals to create a range of flattering looks. I think that the climate of today's cancel culture would definitely not let him get away with saying that so this book definitely shows it is from another era. Rita is Ferns best friend, she had a crush on Ambrose through high school but grew up into a bad situation.

Fern was terrified because when she got the news she didn't know what had happened to him and in all that had happened she still loved him. I got this book thinking I should wear more makeup so I won't be mistaken for an undergrad all the time, but it left me feeling like makeup is not necessary at all. 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. 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.

Kevyn Aucoin also offers tidbits about his philosophy on makeup and charming stories of his life that relates to makeup. Aucoin's gift was seeing the beauty in everyone and in bringing it out by being present and highlighting what's already there, and that is something which is simply not bound by time; it's just pure artistry. Beautiful coffee table book, easy to follow instructional manual with products and makeup tools listed to recreate looks featured.

Along with the numerous accolades he received is a special award from the CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America), the first and only time such an honor was bestowed on a makeup artist.

However, it's good to be reminded of the theory behind make-up application and it will certainly be of good use as a reference for make-up looks of a certain decade. I did at times wish that he went more into the color and art theory behind his thought processes, but I suppose that would be a different book.generally, if you already wear, enjoy, and have at least a bit of a youtube education with makeup, this book wont teach you much new information. After the section on basics, there's a section of "looks" developed for ordinary people (male and female) alongside their own stories, which makes the book very accessible for those who might feel distant from the subject.
