Book Reviews of Face Forward
Book Review: Put your best face forward
Summary: 5 Stars
Kevyn Aucoin is a brilliant artist, sheer brilliance! His before and after pictures of his models show all the difference of night and day, and although he doesn't give you step by step instructions- it certainly is not a difficult task to figure out from the large pictures included. The book is excuisitly presented, in beautiful hardback and the photographs of the models are well done aswell. I particularly admired Kevyn for using not only celebrities (certainly no shortage either!) but also friends and family of his own, celebrities and other friends. The book probably showcases 70+ DIFFERENT people! Definitly worth the cost- everyone should own this fabulous book. Hats off to Kevyn Aucoin!Book Review: Best of Aucoin's books.
Summary: 4 Stars
In preparation for doing my own makeup on my wedding day, I sought out various resources, which led me to Kevyn Aucoin's books. While not a self-help manual per se, this book shows the amazing transformations that can come as a result of makeup alone. I found it very useful for providing an overview of different techniques--for example, the effects of combining light/dark mouth with light/dark eyes; the use of neutral versus more dramatic colors; options for shaping brows, eyes, and lips; etc. While most of us will never come anywhere near Kevyn's skill level, this book provides at least a starting point for incorporating some professional tips into your own makeup routine.Book Review: KEVYN my Mentor! I love this book, I cant put it down!
Summary: 5 Stars
I just bought this book last week and I think Kevyn Aucoin is a Wonderful Artisit. He works magic w/not only celebrities but family and friends. One can only aspire to be like him. Im not a makeup artist, but an "Appt Scheduler for Doctors office"... but in my dream of dreams...I'd love to do what he does. This book presents soo many different looks and its all step by step. The Pictures keep me in awe! You wont be able to put this book down, "you'll just be thinking ..."false lashes, mascara, lips, eyes,and it goes on in on! This book is a TRUE MUST have for all the MAKE UP ARTIST Wannabe's just like me, or Even if if just for you and you want to learn.Book Review: Favorite of Aucoin's books
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my favorite of Kevyn Aucoin's three books (The Art of Makeup and Making Faces are his two others). Face Forward has simple practical suggests as to the application of make-up. It goes step-by-step, start with the moisturizer, then so on.It shows many different styles and has beautiful models (including Julia Roberts-my favorite). It is motivating, simple and works. Has models of every skin and hair tone imaginable.
I am an absolute beginner at this - actually his books were the first fashion books I've ever owned. I've never even read a fashion magazine, either, so I feel confident that any one can find his books helpful.
