Natural to Knockout is an In-depth imagery of facial types, cultural idiosyncrasies, and how to enhance every aspect of the face from shape and volume to shading and highlights - all are presented in a synchronous way, with photographs and descriptions of all the tools and brushes and makeup and pencils and detailed instructions on how to approach the face like an artist's canvas to create, by valid enhancement and concealment, the perfect result - the Knockout You! As well as anyone writing and practicing her art, Carol Brown comes closest to pushing aside the need for needles and lasers and surface modulation, usually thought restricted to cosmetic surgery. Or as she so eloquently states, "I consider classic, natural beauty to be our best features maximized and our least favorable features minimized. It's my favorite 'look, ' and I've been working with it, as well as refining it, throughout my entire career. The best part is, this definition of classic, natural beauty can be achieved by any woman willing to learn the skills necessary to enhance her individual features." The sections of the book give an idea of the thorough approach to the art of makeup: Natural to Knockout Skin Care Regime, Facial Anatomy, Tools of the Trade, Sculpting with Light and Shadow, Concealing Techniques, Eyebrows Frame Eyes, Eyes - Mirror to the Soul, Lips Tips, Designing a Look, and Your Whole Being. Accompanying every section are pages for personal notes, diagrams, and other helpful additives to make certain the lessons presented are absorbed correctly. Carol Brown's credentials are impeccable, including the fact that she has been in the Emmy Award-winning circle for ten years as a makeup artist for the stars.
