Cindy Crawford's Basic Face
Cindy Crawford
“I came across Cindy Crawford’s, “Basic Face” at a used-book store. I think it’s interesting that Cindy Crawford who’s not really of that must interest anymore, but she’s really has a, I thought a great approach to makeup. Her philosophy that you, you know, you don’t really want to leave the house without something on your face. But at the same time it doesn’t look, have to look like you are wearing makeup.
I think she makes it really accessible to everyday women. Her description is that during the day she’ll, you know just do nothing, I mean she’ll put on a real basic thing. And then she also has instructions on how to you know go, you know be fancy and do something to go out. She gives like these good tips on applying mascara for instance, where you should kind of wipe off your mascara brush on a tissue or something before applying it and then it won’t be clumpy, which I didn’t know that that was really useful. And also, it’s really important to wear blush. I didn’t really know that either. When I look back on pictures of myself when I was in my teens or something, you know the makeup was just awful.
And so I would recommend it to somebody who wants to just know just basically, in really easy descriptions how to apply makeup, so that it doesn’t look like you know it’s overdone. And maybe you’re not a big makeup wearer, but and you’ve always been afraid of it or that’s, I think pretty much who I would recommend it to. I’d give it four out of five stars.”
