Book Review: Beautiful, inspiring, and experimental...
Summary: 5 Stars
François Nars, one of the most imitated makeup artists in recent history, melds his love for makeup and photography in a highly unique and innovative way, by using before and after picture with instructional acetate overlays to show exactly what he has done.Beginning with the beautiful Elenora Bose on the cover (and bare faced on the back cover), François Nars photographs some of the world's most striking faces in "bare canvas" form, and then transforms them before your eyes with a minimal hand, with a wild streak, and many areas in-between.
Models include Naomi Campbell, Sophie Dahl, Karen Elson, Erin O'Connor, Caroline Ribiero, Devon Aoki, Eva Herzigova, Elsa Benitez, Maggie Rizer, Ninja Sarasalo, Amy Wesson and man, many more. Also, surprisingly, are two men (Csaba Egri and James Rousseau) demonstrating a rich smoky eye and the startling effect of a few well placed false eyelashes.
Chapters include Eyes, Lips, Neutrals, Shimmer, Monochrome and Suntan, Pastels and Color. There are also some important and informative sections on Skin Care, Pre-Prep tips and a fabulous "10 Basic DO NOT Makeup Mistakes."
Designed by the equally imitated Fabien Baron, Makeup Your Mind is disguised as a coffee table book (and is being used as one by me!), but is meant to be more of a functional workbook. The Slipcase that it comes in, while beautiful, is somewhat delicate and needs to be taken care of to last well. The spiral bound format is also a little precarious, so extra caution on that front too.
Fransçois Nars Makeup Your Mind is everything a makeup book should be: beautiful, inspiring, experimental, and informative. Very highly recommended.
