Face
Forward
by Kevyn Aucoin (Author)
"Makeup should be fun, not fascist," celebrity makeup artist Kevyn
Aucoin avers in Face Forward, his third book. One of the most adored stylists
among fashionistas, entertainment divas, and high-society jet setters,
Southern-born Aucoin arrived on the New York fashion scene in the early
'80s, a period he ridicules for its '50s-era conservatism and McCarthyist
us-against-them values. His career since has been motivated by the feel-good
ideals of acceptance, diversity, and self-love, and the vain world of beauty
has eagerly participated in his vision. While one may puzzle on how it
is he finds fulfillment in an industry known for its superficiality and
elitism, Aucoin's words are nonetheless infectious and the touches of his
brushes inspired.
Conceived as an exploration of the past, present, and future of beauty,
Face Forward is an ingenious showcase of the transformative, creative possibilities
of makeup, with portraits of everyone from Julia Roberts to Sharon Stone,
Martha Stewart to his mother, Thelma. His crafted visages range from minimal-application
makeovers of friends to elaborate re-creations of such Hollywood icons
as Audrey Hepburn (Calista Flockhart), James Dean (Gwyneth Paltrow), and
Veronica Lake (shockingly, Martha Stewart) and such pop-culture personalities
as Cher (socialite Alexandra von Furstenberg) and Siouxsie Sioux (Winona
Ryder). The final pages present his ideas for looks to come, such as "Explorer,"
Mary J. Blige covered in eggplant body makeup with a rainbow of metallic
eye shadows over her eyes and thickly glossed red lips; "Floralia," a freckled
Lucy Liu resembling a sprite from A Midsummer's Night Dream; and "Venusian
de Milo," Sharon Stone as an orange-haired, one-breast-baring sci-fi femme
fatale. Throughout, Aucoin augments an already colorful book with step-by-step
instruction, chatty commentary on each look and model, and riffs on such
topics as friendship, politics (he repeatedly applauds the Clinton Administration
for embracing diversity in the '90s), and the environment.
"Appreciating (even highlighting) individuality is one of the great
things about makeup," asserts Aucoin, and Face Forward is a dazzling testament
to that belief. For those who see the fun of makeup and are eager to experiment
with the virtually unlimited possibilities of it, this book is a boon.

Men,
Makeup, and Monsters : Hollywood's Masters of Illusion and Fx
by Anthony Timpone
For as long as they've been in existence, horror and sci-fi movies
have relied on special effects and makeup to make the unreal seem real.
In Men, Makeup, and Monsters: Hollywood's Masters of Illusion and FX, Fangoria
editor Anthony Timpone presents profiles a dozen of today's most brilliant
practitioners of the art and science of effects. Artists such as Stan Winston,
Rick Baker, and Dick Smith have made everything from aliens to dinosaurs
to zombies come alive on the screen, employing a staggering variety of
techniques. In their conversations with Timpone, Winston and company explain
how they accomplished dozens of their most notable effects, which involve
the use of makeup, appliances, puppetry, robotics, CGI, animatronics, and
more. Abundant photos (including a color section) show both finished products
and works in progress.
Men, Makeup, and Monsters is aimed not just at curious movie fans, but
also at prospective practitioners of the trade. Timpone's introduction
includes straightforward explanations of basic industry terminology and
procedures, and gives a realistic picture of what it takes to break into
this increasingly competitive business. Appendices include a glossary and
a directory of makeup schools.
Movie fans who routinely leave the theater asking, "How did they do
that?" will find this detailed look behind the illusions absorbing, and
will come away with as much admiration for the artists as for the effects
they create. --Mary V. Burke - Amazon.com

The
Face : A Natural History
by Daniel McNeill, Dan McNeill
Amazon.com What Frank Wilson did for The Hand, and Diane Ackerman for
the senses, Daniel McNeill now does for the face. In a fascinating tour
of our magnificent mugs, McNeill uses biology and history to help readers
appreciate the underappreciated. "We often treat the face as the self,"
he writes in the introduction, and hence we look right through the most
interesting part of our bodies. From our strange, pointy noses ("zoologically
bizarre") to our rubbery lips ("twin pleasure puffs, rich with touch sensors"),
our faces mark humans as unique among animals. And, oh the things we do
with our faces! McNeill examines them all, unflinchingly analyzing the
kiss, the sneer, the grin, the blush, and the bluff, not to mention the
fleeting expressions that reveal our poker hands, lies, and true feelings.
He speculates about fascinating things like the origins of the smile and
the use of cosmetics. He works science, literary references, and historical
anecdotes into the text effortlessly, weaving a mesmerizing narrative full
of bits of trivia that will have you raising your eyebrows, pricking up
your ears, and laughing out loud. --Therese Littleton - Amazon.com

Maskwork
by Jennifer Foreman (Author)
Book Description: Maskwork is a stunning yet practical book
that not only shows you how to design and construct theatrical masks, but
also explores the creative and educational potential of masks as a means
of communication.
Maskmaking
by Carole Sivin (Author)
Masks offer an extraordinary opportunity for creative expression; they
can completely transform the human face into something evocative, mysterious,
terrifying, or humorous. Extensive instructions are given here for masks
of plaster, clay, laminated paper, papier-mâché, buckram,
wire, and celastic (a plastic-impregnated fabric), plus directions for
final embellishments, finishing techniques, and maskmaking with children.
Wonderfully diverse and marvelously creative, most of these are unfortunately
shown only in black and white, though there is an eight-page color section.
And there are ideas for incorporating found objects, hardware store items,
and other flotsam for added interest. Theater designers, performance artists,
craftspeople, and teachers--as well as dedicated Halloween revelers--will
find inspiration aplenty in this useful and attractive book. --Amy Handy

Star
Trek: Aliens & Artifacts
by Michael Westmore et al.
Book Description: Special bonus: a section that will show you
how to re-create your own makeup as well as create your own props, using
readily available items. Words on paper. Without the resourceful, innovative,
almost magical talents of the untold hundreds of behind-the-scenes people
who have worked on Star Trek, those and countless other futuristic marvels
would be just that -- words on paper. For years the major responsibility
for making it all real for viewing audiences has fallen to people like
Academy Award®-winning makeup supervisor Michael Westmore and property
master Alan Sims, and their incredible staff of artisans. These modern-day
dream shapers have guarded their award-winning secrets with national security-level
caution...until today. The veil of secrecy is pulled back in Star Trek:
Aliens & Artifacts. Through dozens of rare sketches, photographs, and
designs, discover how those remarkable craftspeople made the fantastic
vistas, creatures, and technology encountered every week. You'll be amazed
at how low-tech some of these hi-tech wonders really are! Who decided to
make the Andorian blue? Of what was the belt on the original Klingon costume
made? Was the first phaser really a block of wood? All your questions will
be answered in Star Trek: Aliens & Artifacts!
