Read this in The Internet Archive. I'm sure the original coffee table book must be more impressive with larger and clearer pictures. But I'm glad I read it anyway. Kevin draws faces with expertise. I liked reading about his past as well and feel very proud that he survived his turbulent adolescence growing up as a closeted gay teen in a conservative small town. Now, he is one of the most notable makeup artists of our generation and seeing him live his truth and release such popular makeup products is very inspiring. The book would be a great introduction to beginners of makeup and fans of Aucoin. But, ultimately, Aucoin’s legacy will be taking makeup sculpting mainstream and introducing makeup contouring to the everyday woman. For those like me who loved Kevyn the person, the heart now weeps as if made of watercolor. Earth has lost yet another light. Aucoin’s partner, Jeremy Antunes (whom he began dating in 1999, married in an unofficial ceremony in Hawaii in 2000 and thereafter referred to as his husband), implored Aucoin to get help. But while Aucoin tried to recover, he could not entirely stop his drug use. Antunes went to Paris for a week to be alone, and in that time, Aucoin became ill and was hospitalized at Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla, New York. He died on May 7, 2002, of kidney and liver failure due to acetaminophen toxicity caused by prescription painkillers.

Aucoin's philosophy was that every woman is beautiful within, and makeup was simply his tool for helping her discover that beauty. He wrote a regular column about this philosophy for Allure. A comment he made in a 2000 column, calling members of the National Rifle Association "morons", drew a record amount of mail and a few death threats. [8]

In the makeup world, Kevyn Aucoin’s iconic 1997 book Making Faces is largely considered the bible of its field—and not without reason. Many pros remember the first time they pored through the late visionary's how-to tome, and the subsequent visceral reaction they had to it. "When I was 17 or 18, I got it as a gift from a friend of mine who knew it was my dream to be a makeup artist," explains makeup artist Sandy Ganzer. "This is not hyperbole...it changed my life." urn:lcp:makingfaces00auco:epub:7c99cfc0-76d7-4323-8810-ea1a2ecbe0e3 Extramarc University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (PZ) Foldoutcount 0 Identifier makingfaces00auco Identifier-ark ark:/13960/t4wh37p61 Isbn 0316286869 Kevyn Aucoin: Beauty & The Beast In Me, a documentary directed by Lori Kaye, features Aucoin's own personal videos taken throughout his life.

Beauty has become more international and ironically more homogenous because more and more people are trying to look like a Snapchat filter. Plastic surgery is more accessible than ever too. Seeing a book by Kevin Aucoin written in the early 2000s reinforces the fact more than ever: lines are blurring and boundaries in beauty are disappearing. We have always been chasing perfect, beautiful faces since the dawn of time. The beauty and fashion industry was devastated by the loss. The industry also has never seen or celebrated a makeup artist the same way it has Aucoin. Naomi Campbell perhaps put it best when she reflected, “There will never be another Kevyn Aucoin. Never. Never. Never.” a b c d e f g h i j k l Levy, Ariel (July 22, 2002). "Makeup Breakup". New York. Archived from the original on October 12, 2008 . Retrieved October 3, 2006.
