Kevyn Aucoin Still Helping to Make Faces Today

It was a rough night last night - brain was on overload and couldn't sleep so I was up to almost 2am flipping through magazines, surfing the net, and reading.  Digging through a stack of books, my Kevyn Aucoin classics, Making Faces and Face Forward, screamed to be reviewed for the umpteenth time.  The late Kevyn Aucoin was a fabulous makeup artist; his books were written in the late nineties but they are still relevant today.  Unlike cosmetic reads from the 70's and 80's, filled with chalk blue eyeshadow and obvious lip liner, Mr. Aucoin's books contain tips and techniques that still hold their own here in 2013.  His picture of contouring is probably one you've seen over and over as an outline for shading. 

If you are a makeup freak such as myself and don't own a copy of his books, get them today!  Definite permanent reference material from a master artist.

LOVE this look



Eyeliner still relevant for today
