Makeup Your Mind
deftly combines cult favorite cosmetics designer Francois Nars' two
remarkable talents - makeup and photography, both of which he uses in
this collection to stunning effect - to show women how to enhance their
natural beauty. Designed by renowned graphic artist Fabian Baron to be
the ultimate makeup how-to book, Makeup Your Mind is a comprehensive
compilation of Before and After photographs, each containing
instructional acetate overlays, covering almost every face type,
complexion, eye color, and facial feature found on the runway today.
Makeup Your Mind is also a revolutionary instruction manual on makeup
from one of the most respected and imitated cosmetics artists in fashion
today: a makeup book designed and constructed as a durable paperback
companion suitable for the vanity or for the car, sliding in and out of
its attractive hardcover binder as needed, containing precise
instructional guides on clear plastic overlays indicating exactly what
goes where, allowing you to see the finished effect for perfect results.
Summarizing each chapter on Eyes, Lips, Neutrals, Shimmer, Monochrome
and Suntan, Pastels, Color, and Skincare are Francois Nars' trademarked
guidelines on the technique of applying makeup for that dazzling NARS
look. Showcasing the famous NARS look are today's top models, including
Karen Elson, Maggie Rizer, Naomi Campbell, Devon Aoki, Trish Goff, Erin
O'Connor, Sophie Dahl, May Anderson, Ling, Aurelie, Missy Rayder, Elsa,
Caroline Ribero, Eva Herzagova, and many others. Makeup Your Mind
features these women and more in 63 stunning Before and After pictures.
All of the models were shot sans makeup for the Before pictures,
displaying their bare-naked faces replete with imperfections and
idiosyncrasies. Their transformations in the After pictures span from
natural and elegant to fun and outrageous. In superb four-color
photographs and brilliant acetate instructional guides, Makeup Your Mind
demonstrates how makeup can minimize flaws and maximize beauty potential
for every woman.

This handsome reprint of Jorgensen's 1967 memoir makes it
abundantly clear how moments of grace can descend on even the most
ordinary of lives. When ex-G.I. George Jorgensen went to Copenhagen in
the early 1950s to consult experts in sexual deviance, he was afraid
they'd simply proclaim him a fairy. A full battery of hormonal and
psychological tests revealed that, while he was drawn to men, he was no
garden-variety homophile; he was a lady. Keeping the secret from his
family, Jorgensen endured a groundbreaking series of operations, finally
emerging in November 1952 as a delicately beautiful young woman. "I
merely wanted to correct what I considered a misjudgment of Nature,"
wrote Jorgensen, who died in 1989. No one seeing the photographs
included here (many of them new to this edition) can doubt the success
of Jorgensen's transformation or wonder too long at the fascination she
engendered back home, where a newspaper bought her story for $20,000 and
she was proclaimed New York City's Woman of the Year. A stage and screen
career soon followed. As Susan Stryker points out in a new introduction,
Jorgensen offers a somewhat flattering and selectively abridged account
of herself in the autobiography, but no more so than any plucky girl
smiling her way through what must have been, at times, a harrowing and
lonely journey, but one that she conducted with remarkable dignity.
