fine beauty: beauty basics and beyond for african american women

💄 i have a deep connection to beauty books from the 90s and 2000s and came across this one when researching. i found an image from this book and went down a rabbit hole of the work and legacy of legendary makeup artist sam fine - a pioneering artist who has touched the face of damn near every iconic black woman in pop culture. his techniques have been beyond influential when it comes to modern day makeup application and this book was his love letter to black women sharing his knowledge and gifts for the masses. i also really love that he left space for testimonials of other industry leaders in fashion & beauty. plus this title - so regal.
