Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Makeup artist Rex Hilverdink, who is known internationally as Rex, brings a measure of common sense to the beautification of women, and freelance writer Jewell expresses his advice with an above-average writing style and a minimum of pap. The book discusses such paraphernalia as brushes for brows, cheeks and lips as well as various creams, bases, shadows and other cosmetics. Skin care and makeup instructions are tailored to facial shape, skin type and, to some degree, personality type. This beauty book provides facile, easy-to-follow tips on correcting "nature's" flaws, from minimizing bulging eyes to making thin lips fuller. The illustrations, all drawn by Rex, add much appeal to the attractive package, although more how-to pictures would have made this an even more practical book. The format of the oversize volume is generous, though perhaps not so efficient for easy reference. First serial to Woman's Day.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent classic makeup book,
This review is from: Making Up by Rex (Paperback)
Rex's makeup instruction is the best basic advice a woman could have. He shows you how to analyze your facial type and tells you how to make yourself up according to your individual traits. His colored illustrations are not only beautiful, they give clear pictures of how to do the procedures. His makeup designs are so classic and elegant they transcend current fads and fashions. I refer to this book time and time again. I would recommend it to a woman of any age who wants to look her best.

Although good information, I wish there were photos,

This review is from: Making Up by Rex (Paperback)
I found that there is good information in the book and the description of face shapes and how to break down the areas of the face to figure it out better than other books. That's about the extent of what I walked away with from this one. I can see that Rex is an excellent illustrator but it really helps to have photographs to see makeup (before and after photos are the best part of any makeup book). There is good information here or there in the book like all makeup books but I don't know if I would recommend it.

Beautiful Pictures, Great Advice,
By A Customer
This review is from: Making Up by Rex (Paperback)
I love books that combine beautiful pictures and fashion artistry with common-sense application tips for those of us that might be just a little make-up impaired! I enjoyed Rex Hilverdink's approaches to make-up, I think he makes high fashion entirely accessible to the average, normal woman. And the pictures! Absolutely gorgeous. With tons of work for Vogue and other magazines under his belt, Hilverdink has much, much more to offer to women everywhere. This book is a great start, I enjoyed it immensely.
