About the Book:

The ultimate guide to beauty and style by the incomparable Way Bandy, whom Vogue Fashion Editor Polly Allen Mellen calls “the most talented make-up artist in the world.” In his first book, the best-selling Designing Your Face, he revealed the cosmetic techniques you can use to make yourself prettier. Now, in Styling Your Face, he shows you, through easy-to-follow instructions, how to create the look of your choice—the look that’s right for your mood, for the occasion, for the clothes you’re wearing, all the make-up designs that are right for today. “Don’t look for your face in this book,” says Way Bandy. “Look for the face or faces you would like to be, and I will guide you toward your dreams.” The book is divided into fifteen chapters, each chapter devoted to one facial design. Eleven are for women and four are for men.

Some Book Reviews:

5/5 stars - Way Shows 'The Way'

"Look for the face or faces you would like to be, and I will guide you toward your dreams." Way created an epic how-to manual with this book. I believe it is much more user friendly than DESIGNING YOUR FACE, so even a makeup rank amateur can get a lot out of this tome. I don't agree with applying makeup to your neck, unless you get off on big dry cleaning bills, but the rest of Way's techniques are really solid. Any woman looking to get out of her makeup rut and shake up her routine will find this a goldmine of ideas. All the looks are classics, and can easily be adapted to suit personal preferences. There are even several looks for men as well. Why not ditch the Kardashian or J-Lo look, and try on the 'Chinoiserie' or 'Glamorous' face for the day? If you dare...

5/5 stars - A Timeless Way of Creating Your Face

Way Bandy's style of creating a face through cosmetics is timeless. Not all techniques can be carried and used through the years, but you get a general idea of how to apply them to modern day faces. He is a legend and a master. I am just happy to own a book of Way Bandy's as I collect his books for my own enjoyment. Illustrations are not actual photographs but you get the idea when you see them. I feel this was well worth the price and a great addition to my collection.

4/5 stars - a trip to the 70's & 80's magazines

This books presents many face designs that transport us to the magazine covers of the late 70's and early 80's. With simple techniques and your fingertips, Way Bandy explains how to achieve these makeups, and how to match them with clothing and even the kind of perfume you should use to get the final look. Though it is a must-read for inquisitive makeup artists, and a real fun book for makeup lovers, I recommend getting ¨designing your face¨ first, to fully understand the author's technique and his piece of mind on nutrition and body care.
