Make Up Hints - Books

[Miss Inquiry]

I was wondering if anyone has ever come across a good how to apply make up correctly book. Ideally with pictures and handy hints. You constantly read about celebs make up making their nose look smaller, cheeks look fuller, amazing smokey eye tecniques. Have you ever seen a book that would teach you all this? I've been applying my make up the same way for years and want to see what others reccomend. Thanks. x

Why don't you try Kevyn Aucoin. He has three books in print at the moment: Making Faces, Face Forward and A Beautiful Life (sadly printed after his death.) Kevyn shows useful tips and techniques, colour placement, shading and highlighting, before/after shots and celebrity transformations. He has worked with Julia Roberts, Sharon Stone, JLo, Britney and Tori Amos to name just a few. Kevyn was a legendary make-up artist and I think his books are amazing! You will not find a better choice of books in my opinion. Have Fun!

Think there is a popular book called the beauty bible. But I'm pretty sure it covers clothes, hair etc...aswell.
