Styling Your Face the 1981 Way

Look at this cool book my sister gave me!


This is a rather interesting book from 1981 by makeup artist Way Bandy.  Way Bandy was a well-known makeup artist during the '70s and '80's who worked with high-end fashion designers and celebrities.  He was well known for using lots of fluid/liquid products to create a seamless, skin-like finish.  Harper's Bazaar called him a "makeup magician", and People said he was the "world's leading makeup artist."  Styling Your Face was Bandy's second book.  His first book, Designing Your Face, was released in 1977.


I think one of the most interesting aspects of the book is the fact that there are no photographs.  All of the pictures are drawings.



Even the product descriptions use drawings.


I found a couple of the writings also kind of amusing:

First, the Chinoiserie Face explains how to get the brows in the look, but with a disclaimer.



The Teenage Face has a whole blurb about skincare to go along with the makeup look.



I'm not sure many dermatologists would agree with the skincare regimen laid out here.  Yogurt/sour cream, cornmeal, lemon juice?  Sounds like a recipe for skin problems.

Something else I found cool was the inclusion of makeup for men.



There are a total of 15 looks in the book.  I'm not going to show you them all, because this post would get awfully long, but here are three more.




I actually really love many of the looks in this book.  Does that mean I like dated makeup?  Maybe.

You kind find lots of informational and interesting articles on Way Bandy if you simply google him.
