Linda Mason's Sun Sign Makeovers

Linda Mason's Sun Sign Makeovers

by Linda Mason

This 100 page book is somewhat rare because it couples astrological indicators with makeup. Linda Mason is a makeup artist who noticed striking physical similarities in woman with similar astrological signs. After some study and comparison Linda devised her own color scheme for each of the 12 astrological signs. If you have read some of my other reviews you know that I have been studying astrology for many years. Therefore this book has been one of my cherished possessions since it was published back in 1985.

One of the great things that Linda presents in this book is her perception of what makes the best models according to Sun sign. She gives a great example of the true feminine sign of Cancer and refers to that famous model Jerry Hall (Mrs. Mick Jagger).

Linda includes almost no information on hair styles, except as part of the big picture. However, I found this book fascinating. I still do when I flip through it from time to time. There are tons of great photos and illustrations. You will find the famous mixed in with the unknown. Paloma Picasso and Joan Crawford are included along with Claudia Cardinale, Audrey Hepburn, Andie macDowell, Anouk Aimee,Cher, Joan Collins, Meryl Streep, Jerry Hall, Isabelle Adjani, Jacqueline Onassis, Loni Anderson, Iman, Jacqueline Bisset, Greta Garbo, Raquel Welch and Sophia Loren to name just a few.

If you love makeup AND astrology you must purchase this book. If you like looking at beautifully made up women and photos of celebrities this book is an absolute must.

I have only seen this book once or twice over the years, so I guard my only copy with my life. I love the great tips that Linda provides for Cancer and Scorpio (my two major astrological signs).

Happy making up by the stars!!!
