Pretty Sneaky
Professional makeup artist and eyebrow guru, Ramy Gafni, has published his second book, “How to Fake Real Beauty”, published by Running Press, a compilation of tricks of the trade on how to master your makeup. In the book, Ramy details how to look like you were born with flawless features by creating illusions with makeup—and a little moxie.
“The power of makeup goes a long way toward helping you fake anything—a clear complexion, fuller lips, brighter eyes—whatever you want! Even the most beautiful person has to draw attention away from one feature and play up another to look her best. The difference is celebrities have access to the experts who know how to fake whatever is necessary to create that unblemished image. It’s all a matter of knowing how!” said Ramy.
“How to Fake Real Beauty” is available for $19.
