WOULDN'T it be
amazing if there truly
was an anti-aging serum
that could turn back the
clock?

Despite claims by some cos-
metics companies, there is no
secret weapon that has the
power to reverse the aging
process. Rut a product like
Clinique’s new Line
Smoothing Concealer ($16.50
for 9 g), can minimize the

appearance of fines and wrin-
Kies, especially around the eves
and lips. The cover-up’s blend
of skin-brightening ingredients
combine to minimize . flaws,
whether they're dark circles,
puftiness, shadows or redness.

A product like L’Oreal’s
new Line Eraser Eve ($24.95
for 15 mL tube), available ar
the cosmetics counter starting
the end of this month, may
actually help smooth away
impertections. Line Eraser
contains retinol, a synthetic

torm of vitamin A. Retinol has
been proven to reduce the
appearance of fine lines and
wrinkles by accelerating the
skin‘s natural collagen renew-
al system. L’°Oreal promises
noticeable results within owe
weeks. However, some skin-
care experts may disagree.
Dermatologists say that over-
the-counter products rarely
have high enough concentra-
tions of active ingredients like
retinol to be truly effective.

B Face Forward, by Kevyn
Aucoin, Little, Brown & Go,
176 pages, $46.95

Terry Peters

Contributing Writer
KEVYN Aucoin loves
beauty, and he celebrates
its appearance in every-
one.

For him there are no
boundaries, no racial lines, no
restrictions. What he sees is the
beauty within and through his
skill and artistry with makeup,
he strives to enhance that inner
beauty.

“I've learned to appreciate
idiosynerasy. The fact is, there is
really no such thing as *normal*
— everybody's different, and
that is the essence of their
beauty. To forgive yourself your
differences and cherish them
instead is incredibly liberating,”
he writes in his introduction to

Face Forward.

Aucoin presents his models
in “before,” “during” and
“atter™ photos, some of which
would be unbelievable if you
were not able to follow: the
transformation in’ the photos.
He rakes the reader through an
introduction to the varied
effects that can be applicd to
eves, lips, evebrows, makeup
colour, and more, giving prac-

tical advice on choices and
applications,

In the chapter Face to Face,
he demonstrates his techniques
on a wide selection of models,
some famous, and some “regu-
Jar” people who agreed to
appear in the book. In each
case, Aucoin gives a step by
step description of the makeup
applicd, and the results are
amazing. He has presented the
material so that anvone with
the proper makeup supplies can
duplicate the looks he creates.

An entertaining finish to the
book is provided by the
makeovers he does to a number
of celebrities, such as turning
Calista Flockhart into Audrey
Hepburn, or Tina Turner into
Cleopatra.

It is his love of beauty that
shines through and with it his
desire to help others achieve
the confidence that comes
from looking your absolute
best.
