My life at the Art of Beauty by Linda Mason, in SoHo, New York City, is lots of fun. Many of my clients are passionate about makeup and color, especially eye makeup. They often model for me when I give classes, allowing both my makeup artist students and myself to experiment on them. Therefore, I would like to dedicate this book to my wonderful clients, students, assistants, and interns, many of whom were photographed for this book. I would also like to thank my daughter Daisy, designer Levi Okunov, and hair stylist Almog for always being there for me.

Last, but certainly not least, thank you to my agent, Jayne Rockmill, for her help and encouragement, and for contributing such great models; to Julie Mazur, senior acquisitions editor at Watson-Guptill Publications, for giving me another great project, to my very patient and dedicated editor John Foster, to art director Timothy Hsu and production director Alyn Evans, and to Margo Mooney for her fabulous design.

foreword by Daisy Mason

I had the good fortune to be brought up not only by a world-renowned makeup artist, but one who also happens to be a wonderful, loving mom. Although it might seem, at first, that the two jobs are completely different, the requirements of makeup artist and mom actually overlap quite a bit, as both demand not only compassion but also the ability to recognize beauty and to know how to enhance it.

I was born at one of the peaks in my mothers career, when she was working on lots of high-fashion beauty editorials and advertising campaigns. Some of my most vivid, early memories are of accompanying her to the studio and watching her work. I immediately noticed the emphasis that was given to the eyes and how an incredible range of expressions could be created through the use of color and shape. The eyes were often the most time-consuming and detailed part of the makeup process, always being touched up or powdered in place.

As I grew older, I realized how lucky I was to have my own personal makeup artist, and began requesting a smoky eye for almost every occasionI imagined it as my most powerful tool to be treated like an adult. My eyes were transformed into many shapes and forms, depending on the occasion, and were always complimentary and never overwhelming (despite my cries of More, more!). Various colors such as turquoise, purple, blue, red, black, gray, and silver were combined and recombined to create countless effects. It gave me confidence to know that the instant I encountered someone, I would leave an impression.

In the past few years, my moms personal style has shifted and changed (unlike my obsession with smoky eyes.) For a while, bright green eye shadow was her daily war paint, as was bright red eyeliner. Nowadays, it has changed to pale blue shadow and brown-red eyeliner, which is fun and playful with her bright red hair.
