Now friends, if you find the cover somewhat familiar, you are absolutely correct!! This book is actually the english translated version of Kevin's 彩妝天王Kevin - 完美彩妝全攻略 & 彩妝魔法書.

I actually have the chinese version but I decided to get the english version anyway. Jeanette was totally perplexed by my actions. Which isnt's surprising, considering that she thinks that I suffers from OCD of some kind; on beauty magazines and make-up books collecting.

Anyway, I rationalized that although I can understand both English and Traditional Chinese, my preference has always been English.

The contents are absolutely the same as the chinese verison, only that the explanations are written in English. Sentence structure and descriptions could have been better but on the whole, I was able to understand what the books were saying...

The book comprises of 2 parts (not sold separately). Part 1 focus on makeup techniques while part 2 is a collection of makeover done by Kevin on everyday people.

Conclustion, this book would definitely make a great gift to anyone (including ownself), who is a fan of Kevin or just simply looking for a make-up guidebook.

Part 1 - Eyeshadow application techniques



Part 2 - Face Analysis and Make-Overs
