Book Reviews of Face Forward
Book Review: Tragic lose of talent and intelligence
Summary: 5 Stars
When Kevin Aucoin died earlier this year it was a loss of not only a great talent but a good human being.This book is delightful and is very instructive on how to make your face transform withe either small effort or more in depth work.
I have no problem using the photos and instructions given in this to achieve what I desire. This book and "Making Faces" have changed my whole outlook on make-up and how I use it to my great joy!
You should read the entire front section and it may help to have "Making Faces" as well to understand all that he shows you in this book. But it is mostly intuative once you get going!
Hurrah for Kevin and my deepest sorrow that he was taken from this earth much too soon.
Book Review: Kevyn is a brilliant artist!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the second time I have purchased a book by Kevyn Aucoin. I also purchased (and reviewed "Making Faces" which I loved) and I absolutely LOVE him. He is without a doubt the most talented make-up artist in the world. He is amazingly talented and takes make-up to a higher level. It is true art that this man creates. I am astonished and awed every time I see his work. There is so many wonderful and creative ideas that are certainly within the reach of the average woman. BUT, there is also that wonderful element of Fantasy that "Face Forward" brings to the table. He is brilliant and I just love his work. It's a wonderful resource and a fabulous coffee-table book. I really think you'll love it.Book Review: THE MASTER OF MAKEUP
Summary: 5 Stars
Kevin Aucoin is talented, and proves that even the most ugliest, haggered person can look like a sex bomb with the right makeup. I am so honored by the fact that Kevin Aucoin is sharing ANY of his beauty secrets. Therefore, I ignore the previous comments by jealous, mean women who get upset because Aucoin's book is full of "FANTASY" or lacks how-to. Just the simple fact that he can transform a face and gives you incite on how he does it, is enough for me; he REALLY does not have to share anything! And I am honored by the fact he choose to share his secrets with millions of women.
Besides you don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out the steps, especially if your "how-to" challenged.
Book Review: find your inner beauty with Kevyn.
Summary: 5 Stars
A chatty, happy, feel good book. The "fantasy" pictures are gorgeous, and the before and afters are just as fabulous. Find Martha Stewart and tell me if you don't see her in a completely new light. I love that this book doesn't say "you have to be X way to be beautiful" it says "find out what works for you and play it up baby! You're Beautiful!"
I took it to work for someone to look at for a few minutes, I didn't get it back for a week. Five other people had to borrow it before I saw it again. It was a handy tool for my friends getting ready for halloween parties and I've felt a little more glamerous every day since I bought it. If that doesn't say something, I don't know what will.
Book Review: Glossy and flashy photography, not much else!
Summary: 1 Stars
This was such a dissapointing book full of flashy photos and Kevyn's sometimes silly anecdotes. Yes, there are instructions for creating all of the looks - but is this realistic? Really come now, are any of us going to try to make ourselves over into Joan of Arc, Cleopatra, James Dean, Clark Gable??????? This is just another vehicle for the author to showcase his magic on the human face (he is an extremely talented artist in his field) however, he is not giving us anything new since his last book and frankly, some of the contents of this book are rather bizaar. If you like to look at beautiful photos of models and celebs buy a magazine, study the makeup and try it out. It's alot cheaper than this book.
