“The best makeup application book ever!!! Everything is explained, and if you do the techniques used you really do notice a difference and get a professional look…“
Paying respect to your anatomy with makeup produces the best and most clear results. Once you understand your anatomy, where makeup goes is unmistakable. When makeup is in the wrong place on someone’s face, that is all that we notice. When everything is in the right place, we notice the person, not the makeup.
“I’m not sure I can adequately convey how helpful this book is. I read it over the weekend and today, for the first time in my life, I felt completely confident that I had correctly applied my makeup. And 12 hours after I’d applied it, it was still in place and looking perfect. I’ve read many other books and watched lots of tutorials (about 30 years’ worth), but nothing makes as much sense or is as easy to understand as Face with a Heart. Certainly for me, no otherguide has netted such immediate and obvious improvement in my proficiency. The system Chris Scott has devised is entirely unique, utterly logical, supremely effective, and has forever changed the way I do my makeup, and the way I feel about the result.“
That is why to understand your true beauty is to understand your true anatomy. It takes the mystery out of why and where makeup goes. Thus the result you wish to achieve is always at your fingertips.
Great book! I’ve been using the techniques in this book for a few months now. I’m surprised every day with the compliments I receive –I.e., my skin looks brighter, I look much younger, even that I look beautiful. I’m only sorry I didn’t understand before how to put my efforts to better use. It’s much more satisfying to put on makeup now. Also, I don’t look like I’m wearing too much makeup. I have a casual, natural look. Great book. I especially like the specific techniques, the overall principles to them, the best brushes to buy and what step are ok to skip if I’m short on time. BTW, I’ve purchased some products from the author’s website and they’re better priced than I’ve found elsewhere and the quality is great.
