I should also note that the instructions regarding application are far from ample, but personally I skimmed over these parts. This book is great for beginners who want to get a brief but informative look into the makeup industry. Beautiful coffee table book, easy to follow instructional manual with products and makeup tools listed to recreate looks featured. Kevyn does a really great job of encouraging the reader to experiment with makeup, and not just with colors, but also with the way you apply it, location, tools, and more. This incredible book demonstrates the art of makeup with famous individuals made up to look like other celebrities with astonishing results.The typical bombshell looks would have been more memorable and groundbreaking if Kevin used untypical and diverse models instead of simply sticking a blonde wig on a white model and recreating the spitting image of Marilyn Monroe. e. some of the models are clearly wearing white eyeliner, blusher and mascara on their lower eyelashes yet this is omitted from the makeup instructions.

I'm not saying he had to go nuts with special effects makeup, but a bit more diversity in coloring would have been nice. His client roster read like a Who's Who of the entertainment world's elite: this list included Sharon Stone, Whitney Houston, Linda Evangelista, Mary Tyler Moore, Cindy Crawford, Elizabeth Hurley and Bette Midler, among many, many others.
