In this inspiring instructional book, makeup maven Bobbi Brown encourages women of all ages to embrace their innate beauty but highlight it with a few clever tricks of the trade. Brown believes that a solid foundation of self-esteem does more for a woman's appearance than any store-bought cosmetic can. To illustrate this point, the book showcases women in every stage of life (few of whom are professional models), from fresh-faced ingénues to a glowing centenarian. Skin care and makeup application tips abound, while separate chapters address beauty emergencies; looking good during pregnancy and while dealing with cancer; cosmetic surgery options; and even grooming for men. This feel-good treat of a book is a celebration of womanhood in all its various and beautiful packages. Brava, Bobbi!
