In my ongoing mission to give away my makeup expertise, I make this gesture.
Beauty school students/students of beauty crave more makeup training. Since makeup artistry is a trade that does not require a state license to perform, the education in beauty schools is mostly hygienic and technique basic.
I have held Master Makeup Training classes in beauty schools and at the Academy of Art and students always ask for a training manual with the material I teach. This was one of the main motivators to get my method in a highly communicative book form to pass on this information.
The fact that this book is a#1 international best seller speaks to its broad appeal and effectiveness.
Face with a Heart speaks to the makeup artist in everyone. It applies equally to self-application and application to others. As I see it, a face is a face and makeup is makeup. There is no difference in who is applying makeup, the rules are always the same.
I want to make this book easily accessible to students on a budget.
Here are some very good reasons why Face with a heart makes an excellent training manual for students of beauty.
Key Strengths:
• Teaches a method that works for all face types and lifestyles.
• Provides the artist with a fail-proof order of application.
• Includes free companion video tutorials for each ‘How’ chapter of the book.
• Maximizes efficient application without jeapordizing stellar results.
• Clearly defines a natural, balanced, dramatic and trend makeup.
• Informs how to communicate with clients to best fulfill their needs.
• Clarifies the ‘Why’ first, then the ‘How’ of each step of makeup application.
• Imparts an aesthetic that is authentic to each client.
Here are the first 20 pages of the book to assess its value

In this video, Makeup Gourmet Chris Scott explains why he recommends correctors rather than concealers to even out the complexion, and demonstrates his technique.
In traditional makeup application – as is taught at most cosmetic counters – concealer is used to disguise dark circles and blemishes. Foundation is then spread over the face, covering up our actual skin and replacing it with a blank canvas on which to apply the rest of the makeup.
It is a method that has definitely carried results, however there is now a new way to show your skin off, rather than disguise it. As a complement to this new approach, light is redirected on our skin so it travels up and outwards to illuminate our eyes and lips giving an energy lifting vault of light on the face.
In part one of this series, we will talk about the role that correctors play in my Face with A Heart makeup technique, how they translate to your face, and why it is time to see yourself in a whole new light.
In this video I will explain:
What correctors are
How they differ from concealers
And I will demonstrate:
How to apply correctors
Where to place correctors so they redirect how light reflects and travels on your skin
Please note: This is the core of the Face with a Heart Authentic Beauty Makeup method when it comes to the appearance of skin. Once you grasp this new way of seeing yourself, you will change how you do your makeup for the rest of your life.
