Use ERINPARSONS to get 55% off your first month at Scentbird sbird.co/4d4jtJo please tell us all your favorite fragrance! I’d love to know 🤩
I joined Scentbird because of your ad. I’m glad I did. I have thoroughly enjoyed trying those $$$ scents without the commitment. I’ve liked everything I’ve tried so far! Love, love your videos. So soothing yet creative. All the best. ❤
Demeter's Holy Water. Amazing fragrance, won't mess with intolerable allergies (since infancy nearly 50). Will bring all the boys to the yard, won't give you a headache and doesn't cost a fortune. I love Demeter and tried it on a whim because of the name.... that was around 2000 and I still love, use, and always have it around. You've probably never even heard of it, but everyone I've let smell it loves it.
@@susanmiller4159ah that is amazing! I’m so happy to hear 🤗!!
@@Laura-mi3nvI definitely want to try this now 😍
Erin, love you love everything about you, but please reconsider the Scentbird promo. The CEO is an anti-science bigot that does not need any kind of promotion.
Where do we sign a petition for Erin to create her own make-up line that will recreate the OG shades of products that have completely changed through the years? If this happens, I will go broke, but everything is for the art of beauty!
Yes 🎉🎉🎉🎉
@@TinRaTin I am so ready for this 🥳🥳
She DEFINITELY needs her own line. She’s such a makeup master ❤
@@TrangPakbaby I totally agree!
If only I didn’t spend all my money on vintage makeup 😅 🤗!
Would you consider making this a series? I would love to see you recreate Kevin's best looks. I'm in love with the look he did on Gwyneth for Bonnie and clyde
Yes actually I’d love to do more 😍
@@erinparsonsmakeup YOU HAVE TO DO THIS! I am a nineties girl and let me tell you, I had all of Kevyn Aucoin's books and would recreate them for myself ALL.THE.TIME. He was an icon! I can't wait to see what else you do from those books! In 2000, I LIVED by the smokey metallic gray eye he did on Jewel! haha!
@@MadlizzzieI loved that look then too
To this day, Kevyn Aucoin makes the best makeup I’ve ever tried in my life! As a Black girl, the first perfect nude lipstick shade I ever tried was made by Kevyn Aucoin. I love that he embraced diversity and wanted to make everyone look glamorous and feel beautiful. RIP to the legend ❤
What’s the nude lipstick you like
When he was the creative director of ultima II he was the first to be inclusive and even spoke about it. He did the nakeds line and made colors for all skin tones. It’s wonderful to read your story as it’s clear he made an impact on us all 🥹🤗
@@erinparsonsmakeupUltima II was what made me fall in love with makeup! I miss that line so much! 😢
I miss KA brand too :(( top quality
@erinparsonsmakeup Ultima II was the first time I found makeup that didn't turn Orange on my Olive complexion. I used it until they stopped selling them.
Shiseido was the other one that I used for three decades until they stopped making my shades.
As a proud Lafayette native, sharing Kevyn Aucoin's hometown roots, I had the extraordinary privilege of knowing his beloved parents, Thelma and Izzy. Following his untimely passing, I was deeply honored to join the Kevyn Aucoin Beauty family as the Southwest Sales and Artistry Trainer. Holding the esteemed employee number of 23, I witnessed firsthand the revolutionary ways Kevyn transformed the beauty industry and touched countless lives, including my own. I am eternally grateful for the profound and lasting impact he made during his time on Earth. Miss Erin, in my opinion, stands as one of the most gifted makeup artists since Kevyn himself, and I eagerly anticipate the day she launches her own exceptional line! Keep painting!
What an incredible story! Thankyou so much for sharing 😍🤗🤗
What a lovely experience, thank you for sharing your amazing story.
I love living in Lafayette!! This was a wonderful story.
Fantastic story! Thank you kindly for sharing.
I first heard of Kevin Aucoin because he did makeup for Tori Amos - and they were friends. She wrote a song about the experience of loosing him, Taxi Ride. Still learning about him - he definitely left a deep impact on many. Amazing to see he continues to inspire!
That gives me chills 😢 I think he named the lipstick bloodroses after her. It still exists today. A deep gorgeous burgundy tone
@@erinparsonsmakeupoh my god i never knew about her having a shade named after her. thats so special
@@erinparsonsmakeup Yes, I think so! They still make it. It's on my list to acquire!
Wow, I love that song and your comment puts it into a new perspective. ❤
@@erinparsonsmakeupI like that song. I didn’t know that.
I love watching real og makeup artists doing their makeup. It’s normally the exact opposite of what most beauty influencers do. As little product as possible, many thin layers… so good and you know it will look pretty in real life, not only on camera
Yes! 🙌
And they aren't trying to sell you something every single second. And you can see just the true expertise these OG makeup artists have over the beauty influencers who have no formal training, they just do their own makeup.
I'm a straight non makeup wearing dude, and I have no idea why it's so interesting watching this and learning all this haha. I actually look forward to your videos and am glad to have found you! I love the history of it all.
😆 I appreciate that!
I’d recommend Lisa Eldridge’s channel too. She is also a pinnacle of professionalism and skill. Even if you don’t wear makeup, they are both very fun to listen to.
you have realized that makeup is not something frivolous and superficial. It has a long and interesting history all over the world 😊
If you like art and history it makes sense. Makeup is a type of art form
@@nathaliaamorim6811 Looks like art, except you're the canvas. Definitely interesting!
I’m so obsessed with 90s makeup, women just looked so soft, natural, and sophisticated. It wasn’t overdone. Definitely going to try this makeup, I could never figure it out before ❤️
You look JUST as beautiful as Linda. So happy to see you back.
On a side note, THIS is how you do a sponsorship. It's so natural, real & drives the product home. You are such a natural. Again, just adore you!
I am a bit of a fragrance fanatic 😅 I appreciate your kind words! I also filmed another video so I may have two up this month! Woo!
Couldn't agree more. Hers are the only promos I don't skip through 😅❤
I have had had a signed copy of The Art of Make-up since I was 8, I would read it every single night before I went to bed for hours, I found it deeply comforting, like a kid's story. I still keep it next to my make-up stand! Thank you for honouring the legends, it makes me feel emotional, I always thought he seemed very special, and I am excited to see his legacy be passed on, also WOW, the final look, unreal!
I found this book at Barnes and Noble when I was 17 in the 90s when I was a insecure teenager & didn't know much about makeup. I learned so much reading them. Those books were my beauty bibles. I actually cried when Kevyn Aucoin died in 2002. He was my favorite makeup artist. 💄💖🎨💅
I remember working at the mac counter when we all heard the news. It was such a sad day 😢 he really touched us all
Gorgeous!!! So true Erin, this is a makeup 101 to save for the future!
Same experience here! 💖
Exactly my story. But I'm a man.
I have every book he published. I liked the way his beauty was inclusive. He used models of all ages and colors.
The way your nose completely transformed in what appeared to be 3 seconds with a little swoosh of color is serious mastery. Would you be willing to do an in-depth tutorial on nose contouring? I too have a crooked nose, and it's always been my biggest challenge. Love your videos, Erin!
I’m so glad I was old enough to see the Master Kevyn Aucoin on Oprah many years ago. He was such a humble beautiful person.
I have scoured the internet to find this episode. I remember I watched it then but I’d love to see it now. There’s a small clip in the documentary 😊
I watched it!!
Yes! MUA weren't mainstream. He and Alexis Vogel were the Mario OGs
Me too! I realised then that I needed his books. I got all 3.
I’m a 90s girl, graduated in ‘97. I wasn’t into makeup at the time but I loved old movie and books. I vividly remember buying Making Faces at Barnes and Nobles. I’ve gotten into makeup as a creative outlet the last couple of years and I was so excited to pull out this book out. Kevin Aucoin was truly talented and way ahead of his time! ❤️
When I was like 15, I saw Linda Evangelista at Schipol Airport. It was like 1998 so no phone cams or social media. This was post supermodel era. She wasn’t instantly recognizable but I went up to her and told her how big of a fan I was. Told her how I was also from Canada. All she said was “mm hmm” and kept walking. She didn’t look at me or acknowledge me. It was hilarious. I just Homer Simpsoned myself back into the bushes and waited for the embarrassment to dissipate 😂
She was probably like that because she did have stalkers. One of them threatened her and her son. So she was probably on her guard when a stranger approached her.
@@pobstrel I was a 15-year-old obviously gay boy. I wasn't a threat lol
The homer reference 😅 I will admit she has a presence, sort of intimidating 😮
@@erinparsonsmakeup she was cool and casual and makeup-free and traveling solo. It sounds like I hated the experience or something but I loved it. She’s Linda f’in Evangelista and that’s exactly what she delivered
Never meet your heroes 😉
Erin, you manage to be both incredibly glamorous and delightfully down to earth at the same time - a stunning combination underscored by your friendly and articulate descriptions, your buoyant enthusiasm, the respect you show for artists and art, and your beautiful authenticity. As an 80s teen, I gazed at Linda and pawed through Kevyn’s books with wonder. Thank you for this excellent video celebrating both. 🙏🏽💕
First book I bought when I first started as MUA for Chanel in 00’s. I have both of his books….can’t recommend enough!!!
He has three 🤩 and there’s even a fourth that talks about his life. I have such an obsession 😂
The way a Erin's 30 minutes video just flies... I love how you teach, I learned so much from you. So grateful for you to put out such amazing informative content. Watching your videos makes me fall in love with my job all over again, they just provide so much more excitement with all the extra details and information you add in.
Thankyou! I was so worried it was too long 😅🫶🤗
This was such a fun edit for me!! I have been carrying around my copy of Making Faces for over 20 years so I truly enjoyed every moment of it, thanks for including me in this video celebrating Kevyn Aucoin, Erin! ❤🥳
The world’s best editor 👏 I adore you! Your love of makeup shows in every edit you do!
I do not wear make up, never have and never will but I was GLUED to my screen. Your appreciation and love for make up is palpable ❤
I saw Kevin Aucoin, Linda Evangelista and you holding that iconic book in the thumbnail and clicked so fast! I'm so excited to watch this.
I was a fashion magazine obsessed teen in the 80s all the way into the 90s when I was in my 20s. I pored over each magazine, knew every model name, read every word, and scrutinized every pic. Kevin Aucoin's work was the icing on the gilded cake for me. He is very much missed.
I worked hard on that thumbnail so I appreciate it helped you to click 😁
I'm dying over this look 😮😊
I also love hearing all your stories about the people you've met and know in the biz.
I don't know if it's just me - but the warm tone of the eyebrows with your gorgeous amber eyes.... It's such a Vibe! I ❤ it!
I appreciate that! I kinda wrecked that one brow but we got there in the end 😅
I'm cracking up when Erin says "you know Kevin would go in with concealer first and then foundation" 😂 that's all we knew in the 80s 90s and 00s . I really don't wear concealer now but when I do, its still concealer first because I find it has less texture and more blended on my aged skin. Thanks for the look, so fun to go back to the 90s repeated and reinterpreted.
This is incredible!! As a teen I would go to the book store and sit in a corner with Making Faces for hours. I remember when Kevyn was on some show on E! doing makeup--I don't know why, I don't know what show it was but I remember the three looks he did to this day. What a genius. Thank you for recreating this one! I love your content so much!
I think this has been your best video so far! I'm just a Dude that admired your creativity. In this video, y😮our respectful & loving references to Kevin were a nice revelation into your natural kindness. Thanks for being such a talented, inspiring & inspired Artist.
Omg! 😮 A new Erin video!! I've missed you so much. I got my fix from watching your shorts repeatedly and your IG stuff.
Take any break or time you need, just know you are loved and missed until the next one. ❤❤❤❤
Also, your videos are so awesome and educational that they are absolutely worth the wait. Welcome back.💋💋💋
Thankyou so much! I’ll finally be able to explain what’s been going on. I moved into the mountains so I’m fully set up again. I do post on Tiktok almost daily 😊 sadly shorts over here is only a minute and I struggle to get my content under 2 min lately 😅
Kevyn was brillant and so sweet .He created an Edie Sedwick Look with his famous smokey eyes and pale lips .I so much miss Kevyan .He was so one of a kind artist! Love your stories !
I remember watching George Michael’s Freedom 90 as a lil kid and instantly fell in love with Linda. She was our standard for beauty in the 90s- hands down.
That video is forever etched into my brain 😅
I would give body parts to know what makeup Cindy Crawford had on in that video.
@@tonib9027 I don't think it was Revlon. ha ha!
@tonib9027 Not sure of makeup, but Carol Brown was the Makeup Artist for that shoot.
I really loved that and his other video Father Figure with Famke Janssen 🖤
My parents got me Making Faces in 1997 for Christmas and it was a huge part of my life for so many years( and the second book too!). I’ve got so many fond memories of trying to recreate those looks late at night on the weekends with my best friend.
this look is what I based my "everyday" look on since these books came out! you can go lighter or heavier depending on your needs or what you like but WOW its stunning on EVERYONE and goes with every look!!
I thank God, for the fact that I can put automatic subtitles, because I follow you from Italy, and I think that your culture and passion for makeup go far beyond being a make-up artist❤
You are fabulous.I couldn't never repeat that.I'm in my 60s trying to learn makeup.This is so educational.Thank you so much for doing that 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I didn't know about the Art of Makeup! Thank you for shining a light on it. I'm completely obsessed with his other books. He would have been so amazing on RUclips
I had making faces as a young teen and i was obsessed with that book, i had no idea who that was at the time but i fell in love with the makeup looks..i lost that book and now as a 42yr old i wish i had it again..every time you bring that book up it just brings back memories of sitting in my room reading that and wondering what I'd look like all made up ❤ stunning look on you, beautiful as always Erin
I know they still sell them on the website and only 25 bucks! 😍
Erin I’m obsessed with you for some reason haha I’m a gay male who doesn’t wear makeup and I watch/ comments on all your videos! Ps your sponsors are really getting their money’s worth, you are so genuine and real with your responses, good for you
😁that’s so sweet to say, thank you 🫶🤗
I remember learning who he was, and loving his looks! He changed the way we do makeup to this very day! Thanks Erin!!! I'm so impressed by your knowledge, and the sweetness of sharing your love with us; and teaching too.
You are so welcome! I’m so glad you enjoyed 😍🤗
You speak with a wisdom that comes from experience, I’ve come to really seek that in my social media consumption
In complete and total awe. SO much passion for everything you spoke and showed us. THANK YOU ERIN!
That C6 face and body trick had my jaw on the floor the whole video! It looks so natural, and being so fair - this is a game changer!!!
Erin, I would love love LOVE to see you do douyin makeup, Victoria secret model makeup or no make up makeup looks but from your perspective as a professional, of course 💅💅
I remember noticing when makeup changed in the 90s as a teenager. It was very noticeable and it wasn’t until I was a grown up person and found out who Kevyn was that I realized it was he who caused that sea-change. What a talented, amazing human. And as is so often the case, he was gone too soon.
I assume this crowd has already seen it, but if you haven’t, “Larger Than Life:The Kevyn Aucoin Story” is an amazing documentary about his life and genius. I highly recommend it!
This video is absolutely inspiration, not only to get those books but also to recreate this look. Not only does both Linda and Erin look amazing even Kevin's male friend this may truly be a universal makeup look. ❤️❤️❤️ Much love Erin keep being a sensational makeup artist.
You make some of the best content on RUclips - thank you for sharing your curiosity and expertise with the world! 🦋
It is an absolutely wonderful day when we get a new video from you and it being a Kevin Aucoin recreation video is just the cherry on top ❤
I have both books and I love them. Like you, I have been obsessed with Linda Evangelista’s makeup and blonde hair.
DROP EVERYTHING ERIN DROPPED A VIDEO
Finally 😅 I just moved but managed to film another video today yay!
@@erinparsonsmakeup congratulations 👏 and thanks for the gift ❤️
As a makeup artist of over 20 years- you never cease to inspire me to rethink the craft!! This was absolutely stunning- and Kevyn was an absolute master. I am running to find Taupe blush that had been hiding in the bottom of my kit. And THAT LIP?!!!!! Deceased!!!!❤
I'm not a makeup person, nor do I really think thr looks in the book are that special. *BUT* that's why I love watching your videos. You're so passionate about makeup and anyone with a passion like yours is so interesting to watch/listen to. It amazes me how you can look at what I find to be "just" an ordinary makeup look and be so mesmerized by it.
I learn alot from watching you, and it makes appreciate makeup alot even if I don't know anything about it.
Aww love to hear that thankyou! 🤗!
Linda has always been my favorite super model….I still love seeing her all of her looks. Thank you for sharing your talent with your subscribers. Have a great weekend!
I heard of Kevin and owned his books and I loved his looks for Janet Jackson (was my favorite, but she's gorgeous!) And of course Linda and Naomi ❤ I can literally say that he was the reason I got into cosmetology and have been a stylist for 30 plus years 🎉 I love our industry ❤️
Erin, what i love most about your videos is the artistic aspects. Sometimes others in the beauty space take make-up wayyy to serious in the sense that it should be this way or that way or a right way or a wrong way. But your videos and your channel and you show that makeup is fun, its an expression of art. I learn so much from your videos and have so much fun watchign them too. Thank you Erin!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤ I NEED more tutorials and beauty history!! You’re amazing and fabulous! Thank you for sharing you’re knowledge and talents ❤❤
Filmed my signature look today 😀 more to come!
Erin's eyes look so beautiful in this video even without the makeup they really pop! This look is so gorgeous and timeless, as someone who doesn't where makeup this is something I would definitely want to wear! ❤
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! Kevyn Aucoin truly was a master 🥹♥️
Who remembers when Kevin did Carrie's makeup in SATC when she's does the modeling gig? Her makeup and the whole look was sooooo good!
This is like watching Da Vinci paint his masterpieces, thank you for all your amazing tips.
It was quite a bare canvas to start 😅 Thankyou!
Some of the best videos on RUclips to me are people sharing things they love and have an obvious deep personal history with and passion for. The whole experience of telling stories, giving advice, pulling references from the books, the uplifting joy for your craft is so wonderful to watch. Loved ❤
Yay! A new video, I'm so excited 🥰
Finally! I moved so it’s my first chance to do some longform. Missed you!
Kevyn was such a titan in the makeup space with his talent and his support of diversity not just of all skin tones, but of all sizes and body shapes and such. Nobody has been able to fill the space his passing has left behind and while there are still a few legendary makeup artists still out there, Kevyn's passing really felt like the end of something special.
I love love love Making Faces and Art of Makeup!!!
WE ABSOLUTELY ADORE & NEED MORE Of You Here On This Platform!❤🔥😘😍
You look incredible in a black turtleneck! Classic look.
This is absolutely stunning!!
Rip Kevin. Still the master. The books are beautifully done.
I really really loved the way you didn't just recreate the look on yourself but you actually adapted it to your face features and personal needs. Love you Erin, you really are the queen of vintage makeup❤❤
I just love you, you’re so authentic and kind!! PS I have all KA books too…nothing compares ❤
Aww you’re so sweet, thankyou for the lovely words 😍
I had all of Kevyn's books as well, i remember saving up babysitting money to buy them 29:24
This type of makeup look has always been my favorite go-to; not necessarily "dramatic", but defined liner and lashes with a touch of color on the lips, while the rest of the makeup is more of a defining/highlighting/contouring the shape of the face while avoiding the flat/featureless "pancake face" look.
Those books changed my life!! Kevyn Aucoin was my hero and taught me how to do makeup.
I'm glad you said something about tightlining causing dryness, because you are 100% correct! Each upper lid has around 30 meibomian glands, and each lower lid about 25. These are where your tears come from and your lids distribute them to keep your corneas healthy, moist and comfortable. Tightlining essentially stuffs these glands with product so they can't do their important jobs! I wish more people understood that they shouldn't tightline!
No, the meibomian glands are sebaceous, meaning they put out oil, not water. They make "meibum" which is the eyeball equivalent of sebum. This oil lays in a thin layer over the layer of water on our eyeballs, and keeps the water from evaporating. If the ducts get blocked, your eyeballs will be dry as the Gobi desert 100% of the time, and it's the freaking worst.
I know all this because I had, like, debilitating dry eye for decades. All the drops weren't helping at all (they can't, they're water based) and doctors seemed clueless.
I did some serious research, and finally learned that my meibum was too thick to ooze out of my meibomian ducts like it was supposed to. Basically, my ducts were constipated. You could also artificially block your meibomian ducts with eyeliner, I'm sure, but I wasn't doing that.
My meibum was poor quality because my diet was poor quality. I didn't really improve it, but I learned that taking plenty of fish oil was enough to "thin" my meibum. I also did meibomian duct massages every time I took a shower (the heat and stream help), and my crippling chronic dry eye went away went away in under a month.
I know nobody asked for the life story of my eyeballs, but maybe somebody needs to hear this information? Chronic dry eye sucks Satan's booty hole.
@itzakpoelzig330 having worked in ophthalmology for 15 years, this may have been your specific issue, but there's more to it. Oooh boy, you should see tightlined eyelids at a slit lamp; they're horrifying!
Tears, that come from the meibomian glands are comprised of water, mucin, lipids, lysozyme, lactoferrin, lipocalin, lacritin, immunoglobulins, glucose, urea, sodium, and potassium
Glad you found ways that work for you to control your brand of dry eye--it sure can be awful.
There is something so lovely about this makeup. Maybe it’s my longing for that 90s lip yo come back…I bought his products in the day, and they were spectacular in quality. May he rest in peace knowing Erin is spreading his knowledge and artistry💝
The image’s subtle eye crease with the eyeshadows 🫢 omfg Kevyn’s mind. I think I’m just as obsessed with this makeup look.
I remember Kevin Aucoin's books from my teens I was just so in awe at what he did. Love seeing you back on RUclips doing more long form makes my heart so happy!!!
THESE BOOKS ARE MY LIIIIIFE
Edit: Demi as Clara Bow is my favorite one
I LIVED for his books. “This was our RUclips” hit me in my 90s feels 😆
Stunning as always Erin, you're a delight to watch💜
I had drinks with Kevin once in West Hollywood. He was fantastic, so much fun . Sadly he passed not too long after that night. I was obsessed with his work. He was and will always be the Master. RIP Kevin❤️😘
Wow !! How did that happen?! Would love to hear your story and the details ❤❤
I was just watching your TikToks and hoping you'd upload another longer form video again. Thank you!
Woo! And I filmed another longform today! Should be loaded next week I hope 🤞
@@erinparsonsmakeup woohoo keep ‘em coming I am transfixed!
There is something so pure and so inspiring in seeing people like you who are clearly talented but over all PASSIONATE about what they do! i can’t tell you how many times i’ve stopped what i was doing to watch one of your reels or youtube videos. i’ve even started collecting these books. love you Erin !
I have the 3 Kevyn Aucoin books!! I got them for 50 cents each a few years ago. I've loved them since. 🖤🖤🖤
Wow that is a bargain 🤩
🤷🏻If there ever is a person who deserves an honorary masters degree in makeup….is ERIN PARISONS👏💄💋Your work is always so stunning.
The only eyelash curler and mascara I use are KA, have been a fan for more than 20 years. I never understood why I loved his curler so much, and when you explained the opening it hit me!!! It really does make a difference. Great video, loved it.
I'm so glad youtube has once recommended your chanel. Such a masterpiece ❤
I was 13 when i bought this book and obsessed over it. I also began working at a makeup counter at Nordstrom at 18 bc of it!!
Erin, what a beautiful transformation! Thank you so much for keeping our Kevyn alive through your love and dedication to his techniques and products.
He was a doll!
✨💜✨
You are a true chameleon with that lovely face of yours and such talent with the makeup. Kevyn Aucoin wasn't just a makeup artist, he was a magician and now you have those skills too. God bless him in Heaven.
I remember this iconic cover well. You absolutely nailed it! Thank you for sharing your talents. And thank you for your soothing voice - I could listen to you non-stop. I wish many content creators would listen and model themselves after your lovely vocals.
I always loved the way Linda Evangelista, Helena Christianson, and some of the other 90's super models. Most had their own unique look of course that's the era I grew up with
Yes, each one of those women has their own unique beauty
I love that you love Kevyn Aucoin! It was SO fabulous to be alive and watch these iconic make-up artists create beautiful looks on already stunning humans! Everyone and everything was fabulous and over-the-top and it felt like a Renaissance where artistry was front and center.
Erin, you look so much like Linda with this make-up look that I had tears in my eyes! I mean your own “face/canvas” is already perfection, but then we watch you magically Gild the Lily and you just look like a goddess/muse that someone should sculpt or paint! Adore this video! Well done!
Yes mama, I still have that book. I have three Kevyn books. You’re a magician.
Your videos are THE MOST educational & cognitive of ALL. You are THE real professional of makeup. Couldn't be happier when you post new videos!
SAME. SAME. SAME. My books are falling apart like yours. He was a genius. When I met Amy Sedaris at a book signing, the only thing I asked her was what it was like to work with and be friends with Kevyn. Inappropriate? Maybe. But I've always been so fascinated by him and his talent. Thank you for introducing him to other generations!
😂 I would have done the same!!
Watching you do makeup is so therapeutic 💜💜💜 also I am GOBSMACKED by applying face and body with the hands!! Can't believe I had never thought of that... definitely going to have to give it a spin
🥰Erin looks so beautiful with and without makeup... She reminds me of a young Sigourney Weaver 💖
So grateful we have you to share all these beautiful looks, techniques and of course the history behind it! Please we need more!!! 🙏🏻
omg thank you for mentioning him ♡ Kevin was a genius 👏 ❤️
Truly he was my makeup guru 😅
what I love so much about this, is your detailed expression of techniques you use, the references you pull and the non-viral products you work with - it's so educational and lovely to see. your passion for makeup and technique always shines and it's so inspiring to me. I wear makeup all the time but I always learn so much from you, and I'd love to thank you for that!
While I was a makeup student (broke) I would always go into my local book store and read Making Faces, I was always too broke to buy it so I would flick through page by page.
Now I’m no longer a makeup artist but that book definitely has a lasting effect on me ❤
