He explains about all the different types of makeup, and goes on to say that for a large majority of women, they've gotten used to doing their makeup one way and often it's too over the top- they could just wear concealer and powder, instead of full foundation for example. He illustrates tons of everyday and superglamor looks in the book, makes them really easy to understand how to do, and i find the results allways look smashing! I recommend it to anyone looking to find out more about makeup or wanting to try different looks.

He was also very well-known for doing makeovers on Oprah where he changed everyday women into celebrity look-alikes.
Sadly, Kevyn Aucoin died of a brain tumor in 2002. He was a true artist.
