My Favorite Makeup Artist

I have read many, many books and how-to articles on the art of makeup, and I must say that this is my favorite, and Joey Mills is my favorite makeup artist. In the seventies, he presented a makeup design in a teen magazine, "The New Ingenue". I wore that design to an event, and a man there told me I looked stunning. I've been hooked on Joey ever since. What a shame this great book is out of print. Mr. Mills provides us with a classic makeup design adaptable to all women and the variations for that basic design, from outdoors to evening to bedtime. Explicit advice on makeup tools and application techniques are also offered. Many application techniques are presented through photographs. Best of all, the colors required (classified by skin tone, hair color, and eye color) are presented by means of color swatches rather than verbal descriptions such as "medium olive" or "light copper". And, hallelujah, these color swatches are again reproduced on tear-out pages in the back of the book, the better to go shopping with. However, another reason I give Mr. Mills five stars is the reaction I have gotten while wearing the makeup outlined in this book. I've actually gone twice into a shop selling Dunkin' Donuts and given free food! So what could be better than that to a woman with a sweet tooth? Ladies, you owe it to yourselves to buy this essential book while it's still available!
