EWP Gift Guide - Making Faces

I love makeup. I think we all know that by now. It's just so necessary for that finished polished look you need. No sense in putting together the perfect outfit, if you don't top it off with the perfect face.

In response to my general advice to wear makeup, I often hear the refrain "but I don't know how to put on makeup." I've tried here and there with some impromptu lessons for friends, but since I can't visit everyone individually to give the EWP makeup tutorial, I'm suggesting the next best thing: Kevyn Aucoin's Making Faces. Kevyn was a very renowned and well-respected makeup artist until his passing in 2002. But his memory lives on in this book, the greatest guide to doing your makeup. Making Faces features step-by-step directions, instructional full-colour sketches, and a gallery of noncelebrity transformations, as well as fabulous images of stars and supermodels as youve never seen them before. This book is a must have for any girl on your Christmas list this year.

Amazon, $14.95
