Cindy Crawford's Basic Face by Cindy Crawford, Kathleen Boyes, Sonia Kashuk (1996)

My copy of this book is a spiral bound hardcover with metallic silver cover. 108 pages. Great full-color and black-and-white photography. I read this book from cover to cover and loved it! Like the name says, it is basic. But it is wonderful in its simplicity- easy reading, very understandable, and totally practical. My favorite quote from the book- Cindy says "Not too long ago, I was in a cosmetic department, and a woman behind the counter said Honey, you could be real pretty if you wore a little makeup'." Isn't that hilarious??!!?? When it comes to beauty and makeup- if Cindy has beauty tips I am definitely going to pay attention to them!

Quoting from the Publisher's Note:

Cindy Crawford demonstrates how to put on a "basic" face simply and effectively. Drawing on the invaluable advice of world-renowned makeup artist Sonia Kashuk, Cindy offers how-to tips on skin preparation and the tools you need to get started. Then, in separate sections, she discusses using concealer and powder to create the perfect foundation and teaches ways to enhance eyes, cheeks, and lips to bring out the natural beauty in all women. Cindy knows that women are too busy to spend a lot of time and fuss putting on makeup. She doesn't suggest imitating the glamorous, made-up looks of models who adorn magazine covers, but gives practical advice for every woman who wants the face she sees in the mirror in the morning to look its best.
