Title: Great in the 90's but not for today
Product review: Just to note, this book was written in 1996. Since some of Kevyn Aucoin's books were written around the same time I was going to discriminate based on age. The focus is on makeup & skincare (face & body). Instructions come with amazing visual aids, some of the best I've seen. Unfortunately, the makeup colors are dated, as are several of the products (cake foundation, eye foundation, etc). There is also a lot of emphasis on correcting, like using shading to downplay your face shape. And please don't follow the eye makeup recs for Asian eyes on page 95.Skip it. It would be great if DK came out with an updated version because the style does seem very user friendly.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
