Description du livre: In Making Faces, Kevyn Aucoin, North Americas preeminent makeup artist, shares his secrets, explaining not only the basics of makeup application and technique but also how to use those fundamentals (sometimes in unconventional ways) to create a wide range of different looks. Making Faces features step-by-step directions, instructional full-colour sketches, and a gallery of noncelebrity transformations, as well as fabulous images of stars and supermodels as youve never seen them before.Lush and enticing, Making Faces satisfies on many levels: extraordinary photography, surprising makeup looks on A-list celebrities (Julia Roberts, Demi Moore, Courtney Love), and recipes for doing it yourself. ~ Mirabella Kevyn Aucoins new beauty bible is the Genesis, Chronicles, and Revelations of makeup. ~ Allure Kevie isnt a makeup man, hes a magician. He creates an atmosphere of beauty mixed with magic. ~ Cher Kevyns progression of work over the years has elevated makeup to an art form. ~ Tina Turner Kevyn enables each and every one of us to play the character we want to play, be the person we want to be, and most important, feel the best that we can feel about ourselves. ~ Drew Barrymore
Infos:  The faces that Kevyn Aucoin has made are stellar and luminous: Cher, Tina Turner, Vanessa Williams, and Julia Roberts are but a few of the stars in Aucoin's galaxy of clientele. More than making do, making up is the art of achieving your own special look, and Aucoin insists that there are no hard and fast rules--except for the obvious ones, such as "Don't put lipstick in your eye."
The first section offers, in his own words, Aucoin's favorite ideas, tricks, and techniques for enhancing, defining, and altering facial features with makeup. You'll learn how to care for your skin, what foundation to use with your skin type, and transformational magic for that central player in the drama of beauty: eyes. Through his gallery of noncelebrity before-and-afters, Aucoin shows clearly how to use his fundamentals to achieve dozens of different looks.
The gorgeous final chapter reads like a list of exotic characters in a play--the Vamp, the Siren, the Diva.... In fact, such celebrities as Isabella Rosselini, Demi Moore, and Nicole Kidman pose as these dramatic, splendidly made-up characters. These sumptuous photographs are accompanied by full-page illustrations listing the "ingredients" required to create these looks as well as simple directions for achieving them. The introduction by the author, at once amusing and endearing ("...trying to conceal the fact that I was a gay, effeminate, hyperactive, adopted child with a serious lisp in southern Louisiana would have been like trying to hide Dolly Parton in a string bikini!"), and Aucoin's commentary throughout, makes Making Faces a unique reference book--beautiful, informative, and personal.
En bref -un avis de consommateur sur amazon-: Un beau livre. Plein de photos magnifiques en grand format. On peut donc bien observer et ensuite reproduire les techniques de maquillage. Il y a aussi des dessins explicatifs pour faciliter le tout. Beaucoup de gens célébres mais aussi des inconnus qui se pretent au jeu de la transformation (toujours spectaculaire). On prend conscience de la force du maquillage. Kevyn Aucoin nous livre tous ses secrets et on peut ensuite jouer à l artiste sur son propre visage. A vos pinceaux !

Extraits 1
du site: BFI 

"The whole unit respected Larry as the great actor and director he was. Marilyn was less respected mainly because she was always late coming on the set and causing big problems for Larry. But she and I became good friends. I felt great sympathy for her as she had so many psychological problems and was so touchingly vulnerable. Many times we would shoot a couple of dozen or more takes because Marilyn forgot her lines and Larry would print many NG takes hoping they could be shuffled around in the editing. But when we saw the rushes Marilyn was simply wonderful. It was her extraordinary screen presence that made up for everything".
"She had this double identity. On one part she was the great Marilyn Monroe, the sex goddess, the person that everyone in America wanted to go to bed with. That was the Monroe character, and the other one was like a little child of about 14 - very innocent girl to talk to - she obviously couldn't have been innocent but she seemed like that you know, and in many ways the sort of person you wanted to protect".

Extrait 2

"Marilyn Monroe was the world's most ravishing sex symbol but I loved her more as a delightful young girl. We became close friends on The Prince and the Showgirl and I was able to see at first hand the incredible magic that came out on the screen in spite of all the problems. She was in fact all woman, all child; so cruelly manipulated and exploited well beyond the limit, to her tragic end".

Newly discovered photographs show the making of an American idol: how Norma Jeane Baker grew up to become Marilyn Monroe
August 18, 2007
From The Sunday Times
By Mark Edwards

Poor little Norma Jeane - a lost little girl, unloved, unwanted, abandoned by a crazy mother, dumped on foster parents. Was it any wonder she grew up into the troubled woman we know as Marilyn Monroe? Actually, yes. As these rare images show, the reality of Marilyn’s early life was far sunnier than we have been led to believe. Far from being neglected, she was well looked after. As her foster mother said later, “We treated her like our own child because we loved her.”

The young Norma Jeane Baker showed few signs of the dazzling beauty that eventually made her one of the 20th century’s most talked-about women. As these previously unpublished photographs show, she was an ordinary Californian girl who went to the beach, played with animals, married young and got herself a job at a factory. But she had extraordinary ambition. And then Hollywood got hold of her.

The Monroe we know was moulded, manufactured and processed by the Hollywood studios. The cinema tycoons even made a claim on her past: it was important, from a marketing perspective, that the sex siren be portrayed as an impoverished urchin. Marilyn was a red-hot Cinderella, plucked from a near-destitute childhood. The truth is actually more prosaic.

Norma Jeane Mortenson was born on June 1, 1926. Her father played no part in her life – some believe him to be Charles Stanley Gifford, one of the bosses at Consolidated Film Industries who had an affair with her mother, Gladys – and she took her surname from her mother’s husband, Martin Edward Mortensen (her mother changed Mortensen to Mortenson on her birth certificate). Gladys left Mortensen in 1925 and Marilyn was fostered out to the Bolender family, who lived in the blue-collar LA suburb of Hawthorne.

Contrary to the stories later put out by the Hollywood machine, Norma Jeane enjoyed a close relationship with both her mother and her foster parents; as these pictures show, her childhood was full of happy moments playing on the beach and in the fields.

Gladys, meanwhile, worked in Hollywood as a film cutter, and the attendant razzmatazz filtered down into their otherwise ordinary lives. At the Hollywood Bowl Easter Sunrise Service in 1932, Norma Jeane and dozens of her classmates formed a choir dressed in black and then white robes – pure showbiz. Yet not all was glossy contentment.

In 1933, Gladys arrived at the Bolenders to reclaim her daughter. Norma Jeane hid in a cupboard with the Bolender children, but Gladys insisted they should move in together. Financially, things were looking up – she presented her daughter with a white baby grand piano that Norma Jeane/Marilyn was to treasure for the rest of her life.

Within months, however, Norma Jeane’s world had shattered. Already troubled by the suicide of her grandfather, Gladys received another body blow when she learnt of her brother’s death from tuberculosis. The two events sent Norma Jeane’s mother over the edge; in her autobiography, My Story, Marilyn describes her mother being dragged off “screaming and laughing” to an asylum.

Her subsequent rootlessness became an imprimatur of much of Marilyn’s later life. She was moved from a succession of foster homes to an orphanage; not for the last time, she believed that marriage might offer at least a temporary escape from her unhappiness.

Her first marriage was to a local boy, James Dougherty. Norma Jeane was just 16, naive and unworldly. Neither was she housewife material – her cooking was catastrophic, and on one occasion Dougherty came home to find his wife trying to persuade a cow to come into the house so that it could get out of the rain.

The marriage soon foundered, as Norma Jeane made her first steps, initially into modelling and then on to Hollywood. The rest is well documented; the husbands, the lovers, the dependency, the squalid ending in Brentwood. Was she ever as happy as she seemed in those sun-kissed pictures from the 1920s and ’30s?

1/Norma Jeane on Catalina Island off the coast of California, where she was living with her first husband, Jim Dougherty. The couple moved to the island around 1943, the year after they were married.

2/Norma Jeane (right) and two other children. Her unsettled childhood made it hard for her to make friends. This got worse after her mother suffered a mental breakdown. On one occasion, when a boy tried to talk to her, his friend warned: 'Don't bother her. She's just like her mother...crazy'.

6/Norma Jeane (second from left) and her colleagues from Radioplane, July 1944.

J.R Eyerman
(1906 - 1985)
photographe américain

J.R Eyerman est né à Butte, dans le Montana (aux USA) le 9 octobre 1906. Ses parents étaient tous deux photographes. Il étudia l'ingénieurie à l'Université de Washington, faisant du design structurel et supervisa la construction de l'autoroute de Seattle avant d'établir sa propre firme d'ingénierie.
Il commenca à prendre des photos lors d'audiences à la cour de justice, puis enchaîna en s'occupant des architectures de théâtres, autant que de la photographie scènique que publicitaire.
En 1932, sa compagnie d'ingénieurie se changea en une compagnie de photographie illustrative. Sa première photo pour le magazine LIFE était pour une fête de 1938 du tramway de Tacoma. Dès lors, il rejoint l'équipe de photographes dans le bureau de la presse de San Fransisco en 1942, ses photos seront publiées dans une douzaine de publication du journal: ses sujets ont porté sur l'attribution de la côte Ouest incluant les plantations de guerre de Kaiser, puis publiées en Une ses photos sur l'aide des infirmiers et l'infanterie des Mountains. En 1943, Eyerman fut affecté sur la flotte atlantique, embarquant avec un convoi pour Casablanca, il couvra les opérations de la flotte pendant les campagnes de l'Afrique du Nord et de la Sicile, avec ses deux appareils photos. Il retourne rapidement au travail de reporter pendant le combat au Golf de Salerno. Après un bref retour aux USA, il repart en mars 1944 dans le Pacifique auprès de l'armée, couvrant la première attaque jamais alors photographiée, celle de Manille en novembre 1944. Puis il rejoigna la flotte d'Honolulu en mars 1945. Ses photographies de l'installation de Guam firent l'objet d'un reportage de 13 pages dans le LIFE du 2 juillet 1945.
Après la guerre, Eyerman travailla pour la presse de New York pendant deux ans, puis il rejoint le bureau de LIFE à Los Angeles en 1947.
Parallèlement, il photographiait les stars de cinéma sur leur lieux de tournage: James Stewart, Kim Novak, Gene Kelly, Walt Disney, Ava Gardner, Humphrey Bogart et Lauren Bacall...
Ses innovations techniques exceptionnelles ont été largement répandu dans les capacités photographiques. Pour photographier les tests de la bombe atomique dans le Nevada avant la guerre, il perfectionna un oeil mécanique électrique sur l'obturateur de neuf appareils pour capter l'instant où le crash du souffle se produit. Il fit lui même le design de ses appareils et équipements.
Il meurt le 7 décembre 1985 d'une insuffisance rénale et d'une insuffisance cardiaque chez lui à Santa Monica, en Californie.
