'If you haven't heard of Louise Young and are interested in period makeup, or any makeup in fact, then we highly recommend you check out her latest book.' - PIXIWOO The definitive step-by-step guide to recreating the most striking make-up and hair styles of the 20th century. Timeless is a beauty bible for the golden ages of style from renowned film, television and make-up artist Louise Young, along with Academy Award-nominated film industry hairstylist Loulia Sheppard. Step-by-step photography and clear, concise instructions help you to recreate make-up and hair looks from the past 100 years of beauty, from the dark, smouldering eyes of the jazz-age flapper to the red lips and victory rolls of the 1940s, right up to the electric colours of the 1980s and beyond. Accurate, practical and beautiful, this is the ultimate guide to the most classic looks of all time. Between them, Louise and Loulia have provided make-up and hair styling for stars such as Scarlett Johansson, Keira Knightley and Selma Hayek, and on films including Victoria and Abdul , Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them , Pride and Prejudice , Florence Foster Jenkins , Anna Karenina and The Duchess , among many others. Review: A stunning book convering the 1920’s to 1980’s. “How to” guides and gorgeous photos. - What a beautiful book. If you are passionate or curious about timeless hair, beauty and style through time don’t miss this. This is a thick, gorgeous hardback book. The type you’d want to have out on display. It starts with a brief written and pictorial history about the early years, including some Victorian era facts. It’s then broken into chapters starting in the 1920’s all the way through to a chapter titled the 1980’s and beyond. Each section has lots of gorgeous full page, full colour photographs featuring relevant hair styles and makeup of that era. It gives you written instructions on recreating each style, including what you’ll need to have to hand eg: Bobby pins, hairspray. This is accompanied with drawings of step by step instructions. In my photographs for this review you can see page examples of the finished look with instructions with it. There are some brief details about makeup, like the colours of the era but if you want to really focus on vintage makeup others books are out there. Whether a gift for your Grandma so you can talk about what styles she had, a present for your sister who is vintage obsessed or for you, keen to try timeless looks this is worth every penny. Definitely not a book to hideaway, now then....time to order some bobby pins, hair curlers and hairspray and start practicing! I sense lots of fun coming up. Highly recommended and so much nicer that I had expected. Review: So beautiful and gives a great history to period hair and ... - Such a stunning book! So beautiful and gives a great history to period hair and make up. The step by step illustrations are fantastic to help create the looks for those needing to refresh their technique. The HD photos are great for showing the detail of the different styles too. Brilliant for both professionals in the industry and those who like to do period hair and make up for their own styling/vintage fairs/parties etc. It'll take pride of place in my reference books. Great present! I've bought 9 copies so far as gifts for friends in the film industry, it's such a winner for Hair/Make Up professionals. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 62,189 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 9 in Hair Styling 33 in Television History & Criticism 94 in Fashion & Style (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 673 Reviews | ## Images ![Timeless: A Century of Iconic Looks - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71dWPnvXelL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A stunning book convering the 1920’s to 1980’s. “How to” guides and gorgeous photos. *by B***Y on 12 March 2019* What a beautiful book.
