Books on Makeup


Picked up Making Faces by Kevyn Aucoin recently. I've known about this book for awhile, my brother's girlfriend (Liz at The Gloss Spot) has a copy and I don't think she'd lend it to me, I was told that book was her baby. Now it's my baby too!

It's a pretty inspiring book. I find Kevyn's attitude towards beauty and makeup to be so refreshing and relaxing... The way he can see that someone is beautiful whatever is or isn't on their face, and help women (and occasionally men) to see the beauty he sees, as well as the way he repeats throughout the book that there are truly no 'makeup rules' make me feel wonderful. I've heard a ton of 'makeup rules' already and opinions... I feel like I can toss those out the window!

I found some other cool makeup books that look fun:
