Meikkiopas by Riku Campo
by Tatu Vuolteenaho

Riku Campo’s first make up book "Meikkiopas" (MakeUpGuide) is a guidebook for skincare and make-up for Scandinavian women. “I wanted to make an easy reading book that works as a cookbook: you read the recipes and "prepare" the make up on your face. I also wanted to point out that make up is not a serious thing...its only makeup, in the end”.

The photographer for this book is the Finnish beauty and fashion photographer Numi Nummelin. All the models are from www.paparazzi.fi and www.modelboom.fi agencies. All the make-up used on this book is by the Swedish makeup brand IsaDora (www.isadora.com). The book, which is written in Finnish has 160 pages with 85 colour photographs. You can order the book from the publisher Otava.
