Cindy Crawford has found a recipe for success with her first book Cindy Crawford’s Basic Face: A Makeup Workbook (Broadway Books). The world-renowned model takes the perfect approach toward having confidence about makeup. Cindy, who collaborated with longtime friend and renowned makeup artist, Sonia Kashuk, offers a user-friendly guide that speaks to the woman who appreciates simplicity. The spiral-bound "workbook" (with a tear sheet you can take shopping!) will appeal even to the most minimalist makeup user. And her "five minute" mantra will appeal to all women, as well as to the men who are waiting for them! "WHAT'S A BASIC FACE -- A FIVE MINUTE CONFIDENCE BUILDER." Women today have less time to spend on looking their best, and Cindy responds to this with a dose of reality. Instead of advocating "giving attitude," she suggests attitude adjustment. Instead of kiss-and-tell tales, she gives you trade secrets. It's the kind of information that real women can use. Cindy moves effortlessly from one beauty concern to the next, without ever making you feel like you're lost. In "beauty bytes" she offers straight talk about makeup techniques that apply to women of any age. And for "lips," she decodes lipstick language so that even the least artistic hand can create a pucker-perfect mouth. The accessible information and fresh images, shot by fashion photographer Michel Comte, are well worth this beauty buy. Her best piece of advice? "If all else fails, smile." © 1996, Broadway Books, All Rights Reserved.
