Kevyn Aucoin, author of several bestselling beauty books and famous for his work with such stars as Gwyneth Paltrow, Nicole Kidman and Britney Spears, is doing a new back-to-basics beauty book for PB Press, the new hardcover line at Pocket Books. It was acquired by PB president Judith Curr in a deal brokered by Suzanne Gluck at William Morris, for world, first serial and audio rights, and will be edited by senior editor Greer Hendricks. Aucoin's new book will be called About Face and will show women how to apply Aucoin's celebrated makeup techniques to themselves. Aucoin's work is seen on countless magazine covers, as well as in the movies, and he writes a monthly beauty column for Allure magazine; his three previous beauty books were done by HarperCollins and Little, Brown. The new book will appear in spring 2003.
