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. The second part includes detailed and illustrated step-by-step guides on how to achieve dozens of different make-up looks. Holds up, even in today's influencer culture and heavily politicized, unregulated cosmetics industry.

A successful makeup artist to the stars presents more of his makeup hints and tricks in an illustrated guide that serves as a follow-up to his previous The Art of 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.

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. Seeing a book by Kevin Aucoin written in the early 2000s reinforces the fact more than ever: lines are blurring and boundaries in beauty are disappearing. 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. The first part of the book focuses on introducing the tools and the techniques: how to contour and highlight, how to shape the eyebrows, the different types and textures of eyeshadow, how to apply false eyelashes. He does a GREAT job of summarizing styles throughout the decades and gives you step-by-step instructions with color and makeup suggestions for you to replicate the looks.

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. Ich brachte mir das Schminken mit diesem Buch vor Jahrzehnten selbst bei, jetzt ist es für mich ein ansprechendes Nachschlagewerk.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.

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. Still, I feel some concepts were a little dated such as using the exoticness of Asian women as a makeup look and picking a white model to illustrate this beauty. it would be most ideal for complete beginners with makeup, but even then i dont feel the tutorials accurately describe how the looks were actually achieved, so for true beginners there would be a bit of guesswork involved to get the actual final product.These works cover the basics of makeup application and much more, including how to apply the fundamentals to create a range of flattering looks. If I had not seen the step by step directions for some of the looks, I would have NEVER guessed who it was! 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. 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.
