As a makeup artist, Kevyn Aucoin was my ideal. This is his life story-good, bad, and ugly. It tells of his beginnings as the adopted child of Isadore and Thelma Aucoin, his life as a child, and how he knew he was different from an early age. It also tells of how he was discovered and his meteoric rise to fame, only to pass away at a young age due to a tumor. There are amazing pictures of his work, as well as beautiful pictures of a beautiful person: Kevyn himself.
I read this book in record time a was heartbreaking in parts but the spirit of this young man did shine he overcame many personal hardships with a resolve to make a difference in the lives of many people he was a light to the gay community but more than that i believe he saw true beauty in everyone he met.and a light to all who seek beauty.
This is a great book about Kevyn Aucoin.
