Makeup Your Mind deftly combines cult favorite cosmetics
designer Fran?ois Nars’ two remarkable talents—makeup and
photography, both of which he uses in this collection to stunning
effect—to show women how to enhance their natural beauty. Designed
by renowned graphic artist Fabien Baron to be the ultimate makeup
how-to book, Makeup Your Mind is a comprehensive compilation of
Before and After photographs, each containing instructional acetate
overlays, covering almost every face type, complexion, eye color,
and facial feature found on the runway today. Makeup Your Mind is
also a revolutionary instruction manual on makeup from one of the
most respected and imitated cosmetics artists in fashion today: a
makeup book designed and constructed as a durable paperback
companion suitable for the vanity or for the car, sliding in and
out of its attractive hardcover binder as needed, containing
precise instructional guides on clear plastic overlays indicating
exactly what goes where, allowing you to see the finished effect
for perfect results.
Summarizing each chapter on "Eyes", "Lips", "Neutrals",
"Shimmer", "Monochrome and Suntan", "Pastels", Color, and
"Skincare" are Fran?ois Nars’ trademarked guidelines on the
technique of applying makeup for that dazzling NARS look.
Showcasing the famous NARS look are today’s top models, including
Karen Elson, Maggie Rizer, Naomi Campbell, Devon Aoki, Trish Goff,
Erin O’Connor, Sophie Dahl, May Anderson, Ling, Aurelie, Missy
Rayder, Elsa, Caroline Ribero, Eva Herzagova, and many
others.
Makeup Your Mind features these women and more in sixty-three
stunning Before and After pictures. All of the models were shot
sans makeup for the Before pictures, displaying their bare-naked
faces replete with imperfections and idiosyncrasies. Their
transformations in the After pictures span from natural and elegant
to fun and outrageous. In superb four-color photographs and
brilliant acetate instructional guides, Makeup Your Mind
demonstrates how makeup can minimize flaws and maximize beauty
potential for every woman.
