Released in 1994, this book is considered a "bible" of 90s beauty. It isn't just a manual; it's a high-fashion portfolio that helped define the aesthetic of that decade.
The book is divided into three distinct sections: • Beauty Basics: Practical advice on tools, foundation, eyebrows, and step-by-step applications. • Techniques & Effects: Advanced methods like contouring (which Aucoin popularized), taping, and body makeup. • Portraits: The most famous part of the book, featuring Aucoin's work on the world's most iconic faces.
Supermodels & Celebrities included, (a "who's who" of the 90s): • Supermodels: Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, and Claudia Schiffer. • Icons & Celebrities: Elizabeth Taylor, Whitney Houston, Janet Jackson, Cher, Barbra Streisand, and Liza Minnelli.
