About this title

Synopsis

AN ILLUSTRATED GUIDE TO USING COSMETICS DESIGNING YOUR FACE The keynote of this extraordinary beauty primer is Mr. Bandy's Sculpture-Portrait technique, a method of applying makeup that uses a woman's bone structure and skin, rather than the shape of her face, as a guide. Once you've learned how to analyze your own face and discovered its best features, you can play them up with the subtle art of cosmetics, while enhancing your outward beauty through a nutritional program that will make you look better because you'll feel better. Way Bandy teaches you how to buy the right equipment - with the help of a special four-color insert that shows you how to match your own makeup to his instructions - and how to set up a work-table with proper lighting. And more than a hundred detailed, step-by-step color illustrations show how to use make-up appropriately, healthfully, economically, Mr. Bandy covers everything from plucking and shaping eyebrows and modifying daytime makeup for after five to achieving the high-cheek-boned look of a fashion model. And dozens of recipes show you how to save hundreds of dollars by making your own creams and foundations, while revealing to you the secret of the special glow associated with Bandy's work. There are chapters on facial and body are, the sun and your skin, and Way Bandy's special facial exercises for firming muscles and minimizing wrinkles.
