The author of the phenomenal #1 bestseller Making Faces returns with his unique perspective and unconventional take on the worlds of beauty—past, present, and future. In Face Forward, there are amazing transformations showing how makeup can give anyone a variety of different "faces." For every look, step-by-step instructions and illustrations are provided so that each can be recreated at home. With this gorgeous and practical book, anyone can face forward with confidence and style.
"They say normally only 10 percent of the human brain is ever used. I believe this is often true of our hearts and spirits as well. I believe that we are here on this planet to make the most of what we've got and who we are, and contribute to the world so it's a little better when we leave it. I'm not saying that putting on makeup will change the world or even your life, but it can be a first step in learning things about yourself you may never have discovered otherwise."
-Kevyn Aucoin, from his introduction

The Review
This is one of the most beautiful books I have ever gazed upon. I was completely mesmerized. The pictures are breathtaking, the women gorgeous, the tips fairly easy to follow and the transformations incredible. My favorites are Susan Sarandon as Bette Davis and Amber Valetta's portrayals of both Carole Lombard and Clark Gable.
Face Forward is a fabulous gift idea for the person who has everything, or for anyone that appreciates beauty.
