Makeup artist to start product line
Kevyn Aucoin came out of Louisiana in the late '80s and shook the beauty world to its eyelash roots. The makeup artist quickly captured attention by designing faces in the shows of such designers as Geoffrey Beene, Isaac Mizrahi and Todd Oldham. He got miles of publicity off the glossy plastic eyebrows he attached to supermodels' faces for Oldham.
Today he has a large celebrity clientele, including Britney Spears and Gwyneth Paltrow, and three successful how-to books to his credit. So in preparation for his own beauty line, he is about to go online. Any moment now, www.kevynau-coin.com/ will be in business.
He will offer instruction, information and, for now, three products: a brush collection, mascara and an eyelash curler.
