The faces that Kevyn Aucoin has made are stellar and luminous:Cher, Tina Turner, Vanessa Williams, and Julia Roberts are but a fewof the stars in Aucoin's galaxy of clientele. More than making do,making up is the art of achieving your own special look, and Aucoininsists that there are no hard and fast rules--except for the obviousones, such as "Don't put lipstick in your eye."

The firstsection offers, in his own words, Aucoin's favorite ideas, tricks, andtechniques for enhancing, defining, and altering facial features withmakeup. You'll learn how to care for your skin, what foundation touse with your skin type, and transformational magic for that centralplayer in the drama of beauty: eyes. Through his gallery ofnoncelebrity before-and-afters, Aucoin shows clearly how to use hisfundamentals to achieve dozens of different looks.

The gorgeousfinal chapter reads like a list of exotic characters in a play--theVamp, the Siren, the Diva.... In fact, such celebrities as IsabellaRosselini, Demi Moore, and Nicole Kidman pose as these dramatic,splendidly made-up characters. These sumptuous photographsare accompanied by full-page illustrations listing the"ingredients" required to create these looks as well assimple directions for achieving them. The introduction by the author,at once amusing and endearing ("...trying to conceal the factthat I was a gay, effeminate, hyperactive, adopted child with aserious lisp in southern Louisiana would have been like trying to hideDolly Parton in a string bikini!"), and Aucoin's commentarythroughout, makes Making Faces a unique referencebook--beautiful, informative, and personal. ...

The best make-up book out there!!!!
When it comes to make-up no one even compares to Kevyn Aucoin!!!So sad the world lost such a beautifully talented artist!!!I bought this book many moons ago when it first came out and in my opinion no other book compares!!!Beautiful styles, pictures, tips, and tricks!!I HIGHLY recommend purchasing!!!:)

Inspirational
Lots of great tips and photos for inspiration.The best lesson is that make-up is not about rigid rules, its about experimenting and having fun.

very helpful with a wide variety
i loved this book, i've been doind makeup professionally for years and found that i was getting into a rut and giving everyone the same look so I cought this for ideas and it has been awesome! I love to just open it in the morning and try a new style. I'll mix and match looks to customize but it's been great to have new ideas

A Dream Fulfilled
I've been thumbing through this book in the bookstore since I was a kid. I was glad to see it here and mostly bought it to avenge my younger self (who didn't have her own money let alone permission to wear makeup yet).

The only downfalls to this book are that the color recommendations are slightly dated (a sad reminder of Aucoin's having passed too soon), and while the advice is specfic and comes from an expert, it does not include comprehensive techniques to achieve a look.Oversimplified guidelines like "first add a dark color to the crease.Then sweep a light color to the lid" don't match up to the picture that shows a third (unmentioned) color on the brow bone or visible blending done to the temples. I know I will have to invest some time to experiment and match what I see in the mirror to what I see in the pictures.There are probably YouTube tutorials out there that can fill in the gaps.

Beautifully photographed, and for each signature look Aucoin provides a brief history celebrating the Hollywood Heroines that made them classic. (Fun fact: he shares how the small-mouthed look of silent film stars came about--before the advance in lipstick technology in the 1930s, color was drawn inside the lip line to prevent feathering.)

Making BEAUTIFUL Faces
