Style Eyes by Taylor Chang-Babaian - $17.95 - ISBN: 978-0-399-53596-3 - this is makeup artist Taylor Chang-Babaian's second book. Her first book, Asian Faces, focused on makeup for Asian women. Style Eyes is for women of all ethnicities and focuses on what most of us find the most challenging - eye makeup!
This book is helpful whether you are a beginner or a pro - there are tips and tricks for everyone. The step-by-step instructions are excellent and easy to understand and there are very detailed how-tos for different eye shapes and lids which I think is something that many people find confusing. The most informative part for me was the tutorial on applying false eyelashes - which I now might finally be able to do with her help!
Style Eyes also covers how to identify and use common eye makeup products and tools, eyebrow grooming, looks for day to evening and the best looks for every age and situation, from wearing glasses to achieving an eyelift and earsing lines without surgery.
The photography by Albert Sanchez is beautiful - and it's a good thing there are lots of pretty pictures since I am planning on giving it to Christelle for Christmas and we know how she feels about too much reading...

I feel a special kinship with Christina my fellow ginger with super pale skin. The problem with being a redhead - it's especially hard to pull off a perfect, polished makeup look - wear too little and your features fade away, wear too much and it looks Halloweenish.

The fine folks at Make Up For Ever were so stoked to see their Aqua Cream #2 in Steel being applied by Britney during her latest video "Hold It Against Me" that they had one of their celeb make up artists, David Hernandez, create a fun tutorialthat shows you how to get her look from the video, step by step.
Aqua Cream was a natural choice for the video since the 100% sweat-proof, melt-proof formula guaranteed long-lasting color that stayed put through multiple dance numbers and under hot studio lights. You can find the "Hold It Against Me" video here:
