Scheduled to hit bookshelves this August, celebrity makeup artist Taylor Chang-Babaian brings us STYLE EYES: Eye Makeup for Every Age(Perigee; August 2010; 978-0-399-53596-3).  This makeup book provides eye makeup ideas, and step-by-step instructions on how to achieve professional results on your own!  Filled with beautiful color photos, Chang-Babaian’s book is also the only makeup book to focus exclusively on eye make-up for women of all ages and ethnicities.  How cool is that?

Identify and use common eye makeup products and tools
Create the perfect frame for eyes by grooming eyebrows appropriately
Identify the best techniques and shades for certain eye shapes and colors
Create the perfect look for day, evening, work, or play
Learn the best looks for every age and situation, from wearing glasses to achieving an eyelift and erasing lines without surgery.

Her extensive body of work spans the celebrity, fashion, magazine, advertising, film, music, and television industries. She has worked with such celebrities as Adrien Brody, Nelly Furtado, Ken Watanabe, Michelle Rodriguez, Paula Abdul, and Virginia Madsen.
