So I was browsing through Facebook because I was bored and came across this on the NARS facebook page:
I probably would have passed by this photo if it were not for the oriental beauty who graced the cover of this hardcover book. Personally in my experience in reading fashion mags and what not, it's hard to find Asian models gracing the covers of anything unless they have the double eyelids and they look more European than Asian. I find it sort of sad how Asians, especially Koreans, are not embracing their oriental beauty and instead going all out to get cosmetic surgery to 'correct' anything that they feel makes them too "Asian" (i.e.: monolids...I have them, but I love mine!)
Anyway, sorry about the off-topic subject. But that is why this cover really fascinated me and caught my eye, haha.
I got this from the Barnes and Nobles website. Here's a synopsis:
...Here Nars combines his expertise in makeup and photography to create a makeover manual that transforms the application of makeup into the ultimate form of self-expression...inspiring readers to re-create his lessons on their own...Employing Nars’s own before and after makeover photographs of a variety of models of all different ages, races, and skin tones—and combining these images with the designer’s instructional sketches on transparent overlays—this volume is the definitive do-it-yourself guide for anyone interested in the transformative power of cosmetics.
The synopsis was pretty long, so I had to cut it down. But doesn't that sound fabulous? I might go and buy this book once I get my next paycheck, heehee.
Is there anyone who has gotten this book, yet? Would love to read what your thoughts were on it.
