Making a Little Go a Long Way

New Classic Beauty, A Step-by-Step Guide to Naturally Glamorous Makeup, by Joey Mills (Villard Books: $19.95).

If you’ve ever wondered how some women’s faces can look sensational though only slightly made up, this is the book for you. Makeup artist Joey Mills, whose clients have included Princess Caroline of Monaco, Brooke Shields, Isabella Rossellini, Liza Minnelli, Christie Brinkley and Barbara Walters, provides detailed descriptions and well-reproduced color photos showing just how makeup can be done subtly yet still have an impact. He even includes tips for bedtime makeup: no mascara, nothing that will smear on a pillow, just a tiny bit of rouge blended with moisturizer and a touch of lip pencil for “the barest impression of natural stain.”
