Makeup as a toolkit for changing a look

Kevyn Aucoin’s guide centers on practical makeup techniques and the ways they can be combined to create different looks. Demonstrations featuring well-known performers connect the how-to material with examples of makeup applied across a range of faces. The book’s subject is both technical and visual: it presents makeup as a set of adaptable methods for shaping appearance, rather than a single prescribed finish. Published in paperback, it is an instructional volume focused on beauty and grooming.
