If you practice and master the looks in the book then you will be able to handle pretty much anything else the industry sets before you. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. the graphic design within is not only dated but so poorly executed that it's painful to look at parts of the pages at times. What was REALLY great about this book is the expansive amount of celebrity photos that Kevyn used, everyone from Vanessa Williams, to Drew Barrymore, to Demi Moore. Beautiful coffee table book, easy to follow instructional manual with products and makeup tools listed to recreate looks featured.If I had not seen the step by step directions for some of the looks, I would have NEVER guessed who it was! Ich brachte mir das Schminken mit diesem Buch vor Jahrzehnten selbst bei, jetzt ist es für mich ein ansprechendes Nachschlagewerk.

I'm not sure how many times I've read this book, but this was the first time I truly appreciated it. I liked reading about his past as well and feel very proud that he survived his turbulent adolescence growing up as a closeted gay teen in a conservative small town. Now, he is one of the most notable makeup artists of our generation and seeing him live his truth and release such popular makeup products is very inspiring. Being more of a sunscreen and lipgloss kind of woman today, I think I should go get this book again just for the pleasant nostalgia. It's a far cry from anything he could do before he passed away, but I felt like sharing for the sake of the review.He was a guest on many television programs, including Oprah, the Today show, Good Morning America, VH-I's Fashion Television, MTV's House of Style and Entertainment Tonight. 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.
