Do you need a new source of inspiration? A few tips to help you find the right eye makeup look? Pointers on how to concoct the perfect combination of products? Yes, you can get all of that here.
But you can also get it from makeup artist Taylor Chang-Babaian's new book, Style Eyes*
When I first started flipping through this book, I admit I had low expectations. I have seen too many books that either don't explain the steps or show such basic info that I'm bored. This book had neither of those problems.
Chock-full of helpful tips for every age, race, and eye shape, this book is a winner. Chang-Babaian is a reknowned makeup artist, having worked on celebs, in print, film, and tv and appearing on FOX, CBS Early Show, Dr Phil, and Extra. She's also a writer; you may have read her work in Town & Country, InStyle, Glamour, and Real Simple, or picked up her other book, Asian Faces: The Essential Beauty and Makeup Guide for Asian Women*
Her tips are succinct, straight-forward, and well-explained. It's nice to see a book that's easy to understand, even for beginners, and to see "functional" pics -as opposed to simply being eye candy. Don't worry, there's still some eye candy in the book, too!
You can get Style Eyes* at Amazon for only $12.21 at the moment, though the suggested retail price is $17.95. It' well worth every penny for beginners and for those who want to expand their understanding of eye makeup.
