Introducing Makeup Your Mind: Express Yourself - a new book by François Nars

Besides discovering new cosmetic brands and makeup collections, sometimes it's nice to read a good book about beauty. Especially if that book is written by one of the most influential makeup artists today, François Nars.

Nars, who is also the creator of the famous makeup brand NARS Cosmetics, has published his third book called: Makeup Your Mind: Express Yourself. This book represents a do-it-yourself guide for anyone who wants to find self-expression through the transformative power of makeup.

To create the book, Nars combined two of his greatest passions: makeup and photography and has made a complete makeover of 56 women and 4 men of all different ages, races, and skin tones. Each transformation includes before and after makeover photographs, while every step is described in details, so the readers can easily express their individuality and make their own looks. Known for his visionary approach, in this book Nars also featured the latest tricks, textures and makeup looks.

This must-have book for all passionate makeup fans will be launched on April 19th worldwide. If you can't find it in your bookstore, go to Amazon.com, where you can already pre-order it.
