The Success, Struggles and Beauty Secrets of a Legendary Makeup Artist.

Kevyn Aucoin's style and spirit live on in 'A Beautiful Life', an intimate biographical account of the challenges and triumphs faced by the world's most famous makeup artist as told by his friends, lovers and favourite celebrities, including Barbra Streisand, Gwyneth Paltrow, Julia Roberts and Britney Spears.

Kevyn Aucoin (1962-2002) led the kind of glamorous life that can only be imagined. He tended to the faces of every A-list star and did the makeup for countless music videos, magazine shoots and fashion shows. However, few could have predicted his incredible rise given the heart-wrenching difficulties of his childhood. But at a young age, he discovered his talent for applying makeup and dreamed of leaving his small Southern town to make it in the fashion world of New York.

He did just that. Within eight months, he was working for 'Vogue' magazine and he never looked back. During his amazing career, Kevyn kept detailed diaries of every assignment he received and filled each entry with Polaroids, names, and places.

This book showcases the most exciting of these pages and brings the behind-the-scenes world of fashion, celebrity, and music to life for the reader. And of course it contains a "greatest hits" of Kevyn's favourite celebrity makeup tips, some revealed for the first time ever.

Kevyn was so beloved by his fans and his famous friends because of the message behind his makeup - self-respect and tolerance. For Kevyn, leading a beautiful life was first and foremost about inner beauty and this book builds on that legacy.
