Urban Decay’s Novel New Book of Shadows Vol II

I devour books like they’re food! There aren’t many things I cherish more than a few uninterrupted hours alone with a good novel in a comfy chair, mmm… Now, Urban Decay’s newest “book” ( Book of Shadows Vol. II ($48) ) may not have an ISBN and be in stock at Borders, but it’s still a novel product that I wouldn’t mind curling up with on a brisk fall afternoon. Hmm, what’s inside? I spy a look book and 16 shadows, two pencil liners and an eye primer! Smokin’ hawt! I think I’m

5 Stars Very Pleased with Review
I purchased this item as a gift. I gave it five stars because it was listed as a “used” item. If it were any more perfect, it may as well had been new! It was packaged pretty well. It took a little bit longer than expected, but I didn’t really want to spring for the expedited shipping.

I haven’t had any complaints from my sister, so I guess it was a perfect gift!

5 Stars Very inspirational..a view inside the Makeup Maverick
I thoroughly enjoyed “Kevyn Aucoin a beautiful life: The Success, Struggles, and Beauty Secrets of a Legendary Makeup Artist”.

His friends and family gave a thorough view inside the life and times of the VERY talented Kevyn Aucoin. It was a story that ended all too soon for this reader.

5 Stars A sweet tribute
I was so sad when Kevyn Aucoin died, because his looks were amazing. He really was an artist, and just did such creative things with makeup. This book is a bit of a biography, and a tribute to his work. You get a bit of a timeline through the chapters of his years in Louisiana, then heading to New York and getting more and more prestigious gigs. And you get sweet tributes from the many whose lives he touched, especially a lot of famous women - Tina Turner, Gwyneth Paltrow, etc - who he worked with. There are some tips included, but the best ones are in his other books, Making Faces, and Face Forward. But this is still good, because you get to see a lot more of his work, and I didn’t realize that he took so many photos: He was really an amazing photographer, and his drawings (a lot of Barbra Streisand and others) show he was a great artist with pen, paper, pencil, glue, ink, you-name-it.

5 Stars The best of the best.
Anyone seriously interested in the art of makeup must be familiar with the name Kevyn Aucoin. In the era of the supermodel, he was the super makeup artist. Aucoin was not only an exceptional artist, but an exceptional person. I could rave on and on about my late teens and early twenties, when I went through a period of self hatred because of the way I percieved myself. Kevyn’s books encouraged readers to be adventurous in their exploration of self-image, teaching good techniques and smart tricks. It may sound trite, but I honestly believe those books did a lot for my self-esteem as well as my makeup skills. Even if you don’t own his other books, this one is worth having for sure.
