Product Description Making Faces takes you through the basics of perfect makeup application. Each section features step-by-step instructions on how to apply everything from concealer to fake lashes. After you've mastered the basics, Making Faces shows you how to use these skills to create dramatic, timeless, modern and simple looks that will have you ready for a photo shoot in no time.
Amazon.com Review The faces that Kevyn Aucoin has made are stellar and luminous: Cher, Tina Turner, Vanessa Williams, and Julia Roberts are but a few of the stars in Aucoin's galaxy of clientele. More than making do, making up is the art of achieving your own special look, and Aucoin insists that there are no hard and fast rules--except for the obvious ones, such as "Don't put lipstick in your eye." The first section offers, in his own words, Aucoin's favorite ideas, tricks, and techniques for enhancing, defining, and altering facial features with makeup. You'll learn how to care for your skin, what foundation to use with your skin type, and transformational magic for that central player in the drama of beauty: eyes. Through his gallery of noncelebrity before-and-afters, Aucoin shows clearly how to use his fundamentals to achieve dozens of different looks. The gorgeous final chapter reads like a list of exotic characters in a play--the Vamp, the Siren, the Diva.... In fact, such celebrities as Isabella Rosselini, Demi Moore, and Nicole Kidman pose as these dramatic, splendidly made-up characters. These sumptuous photographs are accompanied by full-page illustrations listing the "ingredients" required to create these looks as well as simple directions for achieving them. The introduction by the author, at once amusing and endearing ("...trying to conceal the fact that I was a gay, effeminate, hyperactive, adopted child with a serious lisp in southern Louisiana would have been like trying to hide Dolly Parton in a string bikini!"), and Aucoin's commentary throughout, makes Making Faces a unique reference book--beautiful, informative, and personal.

Easy to Use Make Up May 10, 2010 Ingrid Torrance (Vancouver, B.C.) This book gives great step-by-step ways to get a huge variety of different looks with make-up. It's easy to understand even for those who have never picked up a brush before. It's an easy to follow book that makes putting on makeup fun! I liked the celebrity makeovers in the end. Some of them weren't even recognizable! A great book that's very user friendly!!
Excellent Vendor April 5, 2010 A. Shoffner (New York, NY) Product was exactly as described and shipped quickly. Would definitely use again. Thanks very much!
Great pictures and "looks" March 27, 2010 Suzanne Desmond I love how there are step-by-step instructions for obtaining various looks as well as diagrams and pictures for before, during, and after.
More Than A Book About Makeup March 22, 2010 Sonja Delisa Seabon (Franklin Park, New Jersey United States) Kevyn's books is not only a how-to, but a story book and book of art.
The photos are absolutely beautiful. I love it. Anyone who is a makeup junkie or beginner would love this book.
My wife loved it....too bad she wanted to experiment on me. February 14, 2010 Manuel Almodovar (California, USA) Wife loved the book. Me, though, felt scared and weird. Guys shouldn't look like chicks. At least not until Saturday night....
