## Description

Making Faces [Aucoin, Kevyn] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Making Faces

Review: A great book for learning or as a coffee table book - I've only been working - and part time, at that- in makeup for the past 8 months, and thought this would be a good book to add to my limited knowledge. I got the paperback edition, which is quite sturdy. This book is much larger in size than I had expected - I don't have a measuring tape, but based on an 8 1/2X11 piece of paper, it appears to be 9x12. There are a lot of full-page photos which display different aspects of facial makeup, so it's quite possible that this was originally intended to be a coffee table book, but I like it for the information and detail provided. I'm very glad that I stumbled across this book! Kevin Aucoin was one of the, if not “the”, most sought after makeup artists while he was alive (which I found out after purchasing this). Unfortunately, he died over 10 years ago, but the information in this book is timeless. He doesn't get down into the weeds on things like anatomy, color theory, the need to sketch often, and other things that, let's face it, are not necessarily going to help you in applying regular types of makeup on regular people. He discusses some basic theory, without overwhelming the reader, and then provides drawings on the step-by-step approach on how to achieve the same results he did. I've tried a few of the techniques, and they work like a charm. :-) This paperback is well constructed with a heavy stock paper, so I'm sure that this book will last a very long time.
Review: Beautiful book, excellent tutorials - so much fun to read!! - This is a beautiful book. Physically, it is large and is filled with gorgeous photographs of different make up looks, tutorials, models, etc. It's a great coffee table book even if you are not into make up technique. That said, I bought this book for the make up tutorials and was so happy to find that it is so much more - Aucoin gives a great introduction and the beginning of the book focuses on tools, face shapes, what looks best, etc. It's loaded with interesting information. Subsequent chapters break down different looks for different occasions. I am a make up and product junkie but really not the type to buy a book about it - which is so funny bc I have referenced this book a million times over the years for different ideas for fun events - New Year's, a masquerade party or just to switch things up a little. Everytime I open the cover, I find myself lingering over the book, engrossed again in old chapters.....definitely check this out if you are interested in make up application, techniques or seeing how one of the (late) great masters did it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing for makeup rookies
*by C***3 on November 3, 2011*

So I'm in my early 20s with acne prone/combination skin. I was always using heavy photo and HD foundations and concealer to create a "flawless face" but I'd just feel much older, faker, and like there was a thick mask on my face all the time. Reading this book has helped me see that all I need is a bit of concealer under the eyes and on the temples with some loose powder. It also helped me achieved what I once thought was impossible to do correctly on my own - shaping my eyebrows. I've given myself the best brows Tweezerman can achieve and may never get them waxed in a salon again. This book walks me though each and every one of these processes the way I imagine my mom would with me at her house right in front of the bathroom mirror. It's written in a very laid back tone, with helpful illustrations and lovely stories and pictures that made it almost impossible to put down when it first arrived. I'll use this as a guide for years to come!
