Kevyn Aucoin Making Faces Book Review

[@makellingo]

This book is a classic for it’s time. Back in the 90s when it came out there wasn’t that much information online as there is today. For today, someone can have it as a novelty item yes, but it still has info that I’ve used since then, to today.

People have been contouring since the 1920s, for movie makeup and promotional glamour shoots etc, so faces don't look flat on camera. Literally making faces. Max Factor got huge because of this. I wouldn't be surprised if they were contouring before the 1920s for stage makeup in the theatre. Lace wigs have been around in the entertainment industry since way back then as well.

Interesting book review. My thoughts are that when this was published, no you tube existed and make up was not as popular nor knowledge of it. But decades later, it's less relevant . Historically, sounds interesting.

@kittyfarkas I agree, I purchased this Kevin Aucoin book in 2000 ( I wrote the date at the first page) and I had no internet at that time. I loved loved loved the book and it still has a special place at my bookshelf. The stories of the portraited people are genuine and I love the variety of models: all colors, men, elder women , teenagers, top models and common women next-door. KA learned me that it is okay to be natural and wear no or little makeup but if you are in the mood for makeup you can master the craft of making faces.
