Summary: as a peer in the industry--INCOMPARABLE!!!
Review: I've been in this industry for 10 years doing hair and make-up; if you stop learning you stop being. Kevyn's expertise has given me another path to follow, a shoe to try on if you will. Incredible work! I've applied some of his philosophies to my own and have found the results to be perfection! ( Well, close to anyway!) THANKS KEVYN, FOR SHARING YOUR WORK!

Summary: Pure genius
Review: If Picasso had written a book ÒThe art of paintingÓ would anyone buy the book and think they could paint like Picasso, or would you have purchased the book to read about how a genius learned and practiced his craft? KevynÕs first book ÒThe Art of MakeupÓ is about the art of the craft had how Kevyn (and his mentors and predecessors) elevated putting on facepaint to an artform. As a freelance makeup artist I appreciated the book as a celebration of makeup and not a how to manual. Fortunately, KevynÕs second book ÒMaking FacesÓ is more of a makeup 101

Summary: The beginning of a legend
Review: Kevyn Aucoin is a truly inspiring figure and this first book of his is a great kick off to his coffee table book career! Its *alittle* dated at this point and you can tell when reading his other books that his techniques matured. But he inspired me to become a makeup artist and I still use this book as a reference on some points because its timeless and Kevyn is just a god of makeup!

Summary: Does not show you techniques rather it just shows pictures
Review: More for the aspiring makeup artist than the layperson. Good, but not a lot of everyday, practical information for the career woman. More for special occasions or specialized techniques. Lots of beautiful pictures featuring famous people made up in different styles.
