Great book

I really liked it because it had alot of ideas in regard to makeup for the various soap opera vixens. The pics were beautiful and the artist and his work are excellent. Definitely something to check out.

Beautiful and informative

I loved this book. It was beautiful and informative. The photos were some of the best I've seen of some of the most beautiful soap actresses out there. Plus there were descriptive color photos detailing how to achieve the looks presented. The interviews were fun and the helpful tips were actually helpful.

You've got to read this one!

Timothy Alan's Two-Faced: Confessions of a Soap Opera Make-Up Artist, was fun and informative, detailed and dishy, and overall a most enjoyable read. As a soap fan, I loved the brief interviews with the actresses - their outlook on life and beauty was down to earth and enlightening. It revealed that they're real people, with a lot of the same concerns we all have; some of which can be assuaged with the right make-up. Timothy's approach invites the reader to sit in on a make-up session where he engages the actresses in a conversation about their lives and priorities and how they view themselves. As for the make-up, he provides detailed diagrams of how he achieved the looks, two for each model. He talks about the proper tools, techniques and products, all of which are well within the reach of any woman. Timothy's love of his work and the actresses featured in the book are obvious. I'd highly recommend this title even if you don't know the actresses - there's just that much good information in it.

The photos and mock-ups that accompany the interviews are fantastic! If you ever wanted to look like a soap opera star, this book will help get you there! Both educational AND entertaining, this book is one I wasn't able to put down until the very last page. I would recommend this book to every woman out there, even if you may not be a fan of the daytime scene, because there is so much to learn from this Master of Makeup. You are guaranteed to find something to make you smile, make you think and make you realize that you too can look just like "a star."
