Bobbi Brown has been a leading name in the beauty business for over 25 years, with her own well-known makeup products, and has made up some of the most well-known women in show business, such as Scarlett Johannson and Sienna Miller.
In this book, you will find much more than your standard tips--you find invaluable insight into your changing needs as you move into your 30s, 40s, 50, and 60s. Recognizing the changes that skin goes through with age, such as increased dryness, wrinkles, loss of tautness and lack of radiance, Bobbi provides us with sound advice and suggestions on the best way to maximize what you've got at every stage in life.
Instead of trying to change your aging face with botox or facelifts, or to cover it up with tons of makeup, which ends up looking worse, Bobbi shows you how to accentuate the positive and minimize the parts which you want to deflect attention from. Often, with skillfully applied concealer and blush, a haircut that complements you, and the right amount of color in the right places, you can be transformed. She illustrates this through a number of case studies, showing before and after pictures of women at all stages of life, and we can see firsthand what the right makeup can do.
This book was a refreshing change from the usual beauty books on the market, which tend to be mainly focused on the 20-something woman, and instead deals with the real issue of aging skin, and the need to adjust your makeup bag to match the adjustments in your physiology.
A very interesting read. I picked up a number of tips from for myself, my girlfriends, and my mum!!
