This is a great little book, The Man Who Cleans Up Makeup, that you can find in any online bookstore. It’s written by Max Lucado and J. Wes Watson. They are both professional makeup artists. They know what they’re talking about and have done their research on the chemicals used in today’s cosmetics. They give clear suggestions and recommendations for how to keep your face fresh and radiant, without using any hazardous products.
So, this is a very good book, written by two of the top industry insiders. And they’ve done their homework. The Man Who Clean Up Makeup takes a close look at what’s in commercial cosmetics, and gives alternatives to using harmful chemicals. One of the chapters includes an explanation of the manhwa. The term, according to the author, is derived from Korean. It means “the man who cleans up makeup”, which may be appropriate given its focus on the natural beauty and organic skin care.
In the third chapter, the authors go over the many uses of manhwa, and the benefits for the user, which are the equivalent of ten or twenty years of good health. There are just so many uses for manhwa, that it would take a book to really explore them all. But for the purposes of this review, the authors pull out a few to share. They explain how manga is ideal for cleansing the face, removing excess oil, removing blackheads, clearing pores, and even improving the color of the complexion.
One of the things that The Man Who Cleans Up Makeup goes over in great detail is the way manhwa is used as a detoxifier. The author claims that the ingredient list in the original manga is not complete, and that the cleansing properties may have been missed by the founder. As with many natural detoxifying agents, the body initially begins to process the toxins, which are then passed on to other parts. But the Man Who Clean Up Makeup ensures that the toxins are removed from the system through the application of the product. It is this healthful aspect that makes the novel a must-read for any fan of natural health.
The authors also touch upon the use of mantra in anti-aging formulas. It is not uncommon for people of the Korean persuasion to be more health conscious than their Caucasian counterparts, and the use of the simple webtoons created by the genius makeup artist when yuseong is an excellent example of this. There are some amazing benefits for those who want to keep their skin young and healthy, rather than using chemical-laden products. These benefits are also applicable to those of us who want to maintain the youthful looks of our youth. This book is full of good ideas and recommendations for such individuals.
While I am very much no stranger to manga as a whole, the pairing of cheon yuseong’s webtoon with the original manga was absolutely marvelous. The coloring and shading in the webtoons was clearly inspired by the original, and the way the colors mingle together to create the overall appearance was very neat. This is a book that is truly a must-read for anyone who cares about their health or wants to look younger. The man who cleans up makeup is not only a must have for women who want to add a little something special to their routine, but also for anyone who wants to add some serious spunk to their daily routine.
