Kevyn's voice in this book is so nice and not condescending, that half the fun was just reading his anecdotes. The transformations he effects on people are amazing, just look at the pages with his sister Carla!The looks presented toward the end are just amazing, the people are mostly unrecognizable, but the first part talks about make-up for you and me. Do you want to spotlight your eyes? Try the Julia Roberts smoky look, I did and amazed myself!I also like that Kevyn doesn't use brand names or specific shades, I can't afford $50 eyeshadow, so I have to work with what I can, or with a shade that I prefer, and he allows for that. It's all about your choices and what you want to do.And that teacher's note at the end is so sweet....
