Title: Nice colors, not much else
Review: Initially, I was very excited about this book. I have Making Faces by Kevyn Aucoin, but I wanted another book that would teach me how to use vibrant colors so I thought that Asian Beauty would be a good choice. The design is nice and the makeup looks are exactly what I was looking for but Kimura doesn't tell you how to achieve those looks. She does mention a 'light and shadows' technique but it is not adequately demonstrated. She also doesn't give product names. I understand that some artists don't give product names because they want to give the reader freedom but it's hard for me to find colors if I don't have a name to go by. All in all, this is a pretty book. Too bad its not a useful one.
