Bobbi Brown, CEO of her eponymous cosmetics company, began the trend toward natural-looking cosmetics with a simple philosophy: Women want to look and feel like themselves, only prettier and more confident. Today, top editors at elite fashion magazines including In Style, Vogue, Allure, and Harpers Bazaar revere her, and celebrities and millions of regular women throughout the world swear by her beauty advice. Now on her own 50th birthday, Bobbi Brown has written the book redefining beauty for women over 40, Bobbi Brown Living Beauty. In this refreshing look at beauty and aging, Bobbi offers readers specific makeup tricks for a stunning face, showing how makeup can solve most of the flaws that many women go under the knife to fix. In fact, the right makeup can create an even skin tone, lift the cheeks, plump a smile....even take years off any womans face. The key is to use makeup to enhance each womans best features and showcase her natural beauty. With step-by-step makeup instructions and quotes from beautiful women like Marcia Gay Harden, Vera Wang, Susan Sarandon, and Lorraine Bracco, Bobbi Browns natural, celebratory approach to aging will enlighten and inspire women everywhere.

This is amazing book that I have recommended to all my firends. I would also highly recommend another bestseller that is How to be a Super Hot Woman: 339 Tips to Make Every Man Fall in Love with You and Every Woman Envy You

The book arrived on schedule and the content was exactly what was anticipated based on the description.

5 out of 5 stars Ageing Gracefully.......2007-08-24

I loved this book so much it will become the next birthday present for all my close female friends. It is very reassuring to have information presented specifically for 'older' women, using models who are not twenty-something, and with practical advice which does not involve expensive procedures. Thank you Bobbi Brown - this book made me feel a little less 'invisible' as a fifty-something in a country driven by youth-worship.

4 out of 5 stars Good Basic Information, Nothing New or Special.......2007-07-03

I'm only 35, but I am interested in how to preserve what I have now and continue to age gracefully. I love Bobbi Brown's products and have all of her other books. I was excited to read this one, too, although it really is geared to the more mature woman. While much of her advice in this book seems to be simply regurgitated from earlier books, there is some prized information on the different ways in which to tackle aging - via products and/or procedures. Bobbi is anti-plastic surgery, which I can appreciate (but ask me again about my stance on that in 10 years!) and so has tried virtually every alternative procedure herself to combat aging, and she also pofiles other women who have had these procedures done. Interesting to read in their own words how they felt about the process, and if they were happy with the results, would do it again, etc. Included is a chapter on nutrition which I didn't really think was necessary from a make-up artist. It's all information we already know - nothing new there. But I understand that she is trying to go for the "whole" approach - not just bits and pieces. All in all, I respect her approach to beauty, she's always focused on the individual rather than the cookie-cutter look and is a smart woman. She definitely appeals to me as a woman who is aging gracefully.

3 out of 5 stars good info, but not enough step by step instructions.......2007-06-24

I love the beginning section on how to remedy skin problems with and without medical procedures; she has an example of each 'problem' (ie age spots, deep wrinkles) and both medical and cosmetic solutions.
On the 'how to' apply makeup section, not enough pictures on how 'concealers' are applied. She stresses how critical this step is, but yet, there is no 'step by step' picture on how to do this correctly. Yet, the pictures of 'before ' and 'after' is incredible. I wish I knew how to ... Same with applying blush; not everyone understands where the 'apples' of our cheeks are. it's more useful to draw a shape on a picture so we know exactly where to apply that darn blush.
The rest of the book covers a lot of diffferent areas of life in general, and the tips are useful, but way too shallow, and not enough depth.
Maybe she is trying to not duplicate coverage of her earlier books...

Book Description

The second edition of this thorough reference is an invaluable tool for assessing cosmetic products, addressing both the quality of the product and the effect it has on the skin. Since a product's ultimate purpose is to benefit the skin, it is crucial to have an understanding of how the skin works, how and why a product may or may not penetrate it, and what care individual skin types and conditions may require. It is difficult to discuss product ingredients without correlating product performance to skin function. An expanded section on skin physiology and chemical concepts enables the reader to better understand product performance through a thorough explanation of how chemicals and ingredients interact. The various skin types, conditions, and appropriate ingredients for treatments provide a quick reference to address clients' needs. This enlarged second edition contains over 2,000 ingredients including 200 new and updated entries. Expanded information on antioxidants and their stability, new discussion on aging and sensitive skin, and function of SPF and new sunblock ingredients offering full spectrum sunscreen and sunblock for both UVA and UVB rays has been added.

2 out of 5 stars Overpriced .......2007-09-18

There was very little that I found in this book that I didn't find in other resources on the subject. It's way overpriced for what it delivers.

5 out of 5 stars Milady's Cosmetic Ingredients Dictionary.......2007-06-27

In addition to listing many standard ingredients, this book also lists botanicals which are listed by their English name with other common names listed right after. And they are cross-referenced. A very good brief review of skin physiology, function, components, structures and layers along with product penetration and testing and skin types and conditions enhance the book. Great for newbies or experienced skin care professionals.

4 out of 5 stars Terrific Resource.......2005-10-17

The beauty business is wonderful, really it is. There are only a very few players that are truely dishonest when it comes to ingredients, for instance, "renaming" common ingredients. This book will help everyone keep it straight. As a beauty and lifestyle reporter, I keep it on my desk.

5 out of 5 stars FANTASTIC REFERENCE.......2005-10-10

I am currently studying beauty therapy and this book is my lifesaver! it is great for reference, general knowledge etc!

4 out of 5 stars Not to bad.......2005-09-13

The first few chapters I would call "Skin physiology for dummies", the science is much simplified, so don't expect to learn much here. However, the glossary of cosmetic ingredients is very decent, I would definatelly buy this book as a great reference.

Book Description

Now in its' ninth edition, Milady's Standard Textbook for Professional Estheticians has been thoroughly revised to include the most up-to-date information available today. Written by Joel Gerson, one of the industry's top authorities on skin care, and Alison O'Neil, a leading expert in the medical esthetics arena, this updated text contains all the essential information needed to ensure greater success for students taking the state board examinations. For the first time, this text is presented in full-color, incorporating a brand new, user-friendly four-color design that will help students learn the common links between the concepts and principles of skin care. Over 500 new full-color photographs and illustrations support the text content and include new step-by-step photographs for many of the procedures presented. All new photos have been incorporated in the chapter on skin disorders and diseases, special esthetic procedures, client consultation and skin analysis, and color theory and cosmetic techniques. A running glossary in each chapter helps the student become familiar with the language of skin care, and procedural notes and safety tips help to reinforce concepts. Expanded discussion on safety and sanitation topics reflects changes made in OSHA rulings and decontamination and infection control. Added discussion on advanced topics including AHAs, BHAs, glycolic, and microdermabrasion techniques give students exposure to those skills that will make them more marketable. Milady's Standard Textbook for Professional Estheticians, 9th ed., is the essential textbook for basic esthetics training.

3 out of 5 stars No Excuses For Milady.......2007-03-12

As this is the ninth edition of what is alledgedly the most widely used text for beginning estheticians, then the persistent use of mediocre-to-poor science is inexcusable. Doesn't the author consult *anyone* in the scientific/medical community before sending this thing off to the printers? It is *not*, for instance, an established fact that vitamin A protects human beings from cancer of any sort. There is certainly data that looks promising, but that's it. And since vitamin K is manufactured in the intestinal tract, why is paper wasted insisting that students, many of them fresh out of high school, should be memorizing the names of the food sources of this abundant nutrient? Many of these kids struggle with the science that *is* relevent to the profession they hope to enter. My husband is a doctor, I'm an RN, and neither of us has ever used the term "non-striated" muscle. It's "smooth" muscle, for crying out loud! And while I'm on the subject of muscles, absolutely none - not one - healthcare professional I'm acquainted with has ever learned anything about the "belly" of the muscle! No matter - 18 year-old kids have to learn what is not required of first-year medical students. Please. Yes, as a basic introductory text it has much to recommend it; all the more reason to get the science right. S.T., RN, Rochester, NY

4 out of 5 stars Better textbook than prior years.......2005-09-29

This is for esthetician students. The information is basic and well organized. The photos sometimes do not follow the text but it reads easily.

4 out of 5 stars This is a good all around Beauty School book.......2005-08-21

Most of the chapters are well written and understandable. I have found some discrepancies in the information, and feel that the book could have been edited a little better. The book explains sanitation but does not go into the correct method of sanitizing all items that one would use during a service. The material is quite dry, and could really use something to get the student excited about the occupation that they have chosen.

Book Description

“We just asked the movie stars how they did it. What did they use? How often? Where did they get it? How can we do it, too? And they told us. We couldn't believe it either.”

Kym Douglas, host of the upcoming Lifetime makeover show Queen and the image consultant on The View, and celebrity journalist Cindy Pearlman had always wanted to know how the A-list stars looked so, well, A-list. It turns out that even the most carefully guarded stars were more than happy to dish. Collected here, in their own words, celebrities and their beauty gurus reveal their tricks of the trade.

How do they reduce puffiness, lose five pounds in a week, put shine in their hair, buff their skin, and vacuum their pores without spending a fortune? Find out from Jennifer Aniston, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Lindsay Lohan, Beyoncé Knowles, Jennifer Lopez, Elizabeth Hurley, Charlize Theron, and many, many more!

Kym Douglas is the creator and host of the upcoming Lifetime Television makeover show, Queen, airing in October and the image consultant on The View. She appears regularly on Soap Talk, Good Day Live, Before & After'noon, and Your Weekend with Jim Brickman.

5 out of 5 stars The Black Book of Hollywood Beauty Secrets.......2007-09-16

Not only was the book helpful with the beauty secrets, but I loved the sense of humour. I look forward to the next book by these authors.

3 out of 5 stars Good for newbies to makeup/skincare/haircare.......2007-07-30

If you've ever read any beauty/fashion magazines on any type of a regular basis, spoken in friend circles about beauty tricks, or are over 13 and have been wearing makeup for a few years, etc. then you already know all of this. Puffy eyes: cucumber or potato slices, chilled spoons, tea bags Zits: dab of toothpaste or tea tree oil Shiny, build-up free hair: apple cider vinegar rinse

Unless you're a newbie to the beauty world or like the 40-something year old woman I met that had no idea that clear mascara can be used to groom brows and that the tanning beds were making her liver spots worse, then save your money.

1 out of 5 stars no new information in my opinion.......2007-07-28

I thought this book would be entertaining with a lot of tips and tricks for making beauty fun and easy. I love makeup and going on the occassional splurge at Sephora. But I can also be happy wandering the makeup/skin care aisles of Target.

When this book is not spitting out designer labels left and right, they really don't have super secrets. Most is stuff you can find online about home treatments that you can mix together yourself. It also asked a lot of "professionals" and beauty gurus their "must haves" and what would they buy if they ONLY had 100 dollars. These people are spoiled brats in my opinion. 100 bucks could buy a heck of a lot of beauty stuff. One woman's answer when asked what she would do if she only had the 100 dollars was "first, I would cry...". This really just put the stamp of stupidity on this book. Don't waste your money!

5 out of 5 stars very informative.......2007-07-08

very interesteing book, so many secrets and the ones i tried do really work-highly recommend!

1 out of 5 stars Big on hype, long on snark, short on quality...save your $$.......2007-06-21

I made the mistake of actually purchasing this book. I would've taken it back if I hadn't already thrown away the receipt, that is how BAD this book is! True beauty has nothing to do with making uncharitable and jealous comments, and it seems like every sentence in this book is prefaced with "MEOW!" I do not like this current trend toward Us Magazine style cattiness and rudeness in Hollywood gossip circles, and it seems to have permeated this book something fierce. What good is attaining outer beauty if the seemingly beautiful person is unattractively rude and has caustic, mean-spirited and sarcastic stuff constantly running out of her mouth?

Another thing I found offensive about this book? The hypocrisy of one of the authors. If you look at the picture in the back of the book, you'll notice that Cindy Pearlman, is considerably fat...in fact, you could say she is OBESE...yet throughout the book she and her "new best friend" aka co-writer Kym Douglas make all sorts of hurtful cracks about large sized women. What's with all the self loathing Cindy? Still trying to fit in with the 'preps' 20 or more years after graduating high school? Still getting ready for that prom you apparently never attended? Sad...and pathetic. Get over it already.

As for the so-called beauty "secrets", do these authors think we were born yesterday? I don't buy most of that mess in this book for a New York minute! Do you honestly expect us to believe those actresses are too cheap to buy real beauty products? Please. Plus I am NOT interested in learning any of beauty secrets who women who are in the sex industry, either. Why are they glorifying strippers and pole dancers in this book? Disgusting.

As for their assessment that men are only interested in women who look like those on the "A" list...this is simply not so. How do I know? Well, I've been to Hollywood, Beverly Hills AND Malibu, so I can tell you by personal experience the STRAIGHT men there appreciate all sorts of beauty in women...and they are equally as likely to flirt with a woman with meat on her bones as he is the tall blonde size "0" waifs running around with scary Botox smiles! The true beauty "secret?" CONFIDENCE IN ONESELF...which doesn't cost one red cent!!!

Trust me, in the end, you're better off taking that money you would've spent on books of this ilk and putting it toward a fab vacation to California and really living it up, rather than living vicariously through this flimsy book with bogus beauty "secrets" you can find on any beauty website. I'm not even going to give this book to charity...it's just going directly into file 13.

This beautifully illustrated clinical reference fully documents the three approaches to reconstructive surgery -- flaps, microsurgery and tissue expansion -- as they apply to the entire body. It is the only book to provide technical data on tissue expansion and its application in reconstructive surgery, and use anatomical dissections with accompanying illustrations to give a better understanding of each operation.

Although this book is quite dated the anatomical descriptions and pictures are sensational. Incredibly useful to both my study and work. It unfortunately could do with updating of the more recent flap's which have been developed. Overall a brilliant plastic's text.

this book is MUCH better. The new edition deleted a LOT of the info from this edition ... guess what? The state board test still asks questions from this book! The new book has color pictures and notes in the margin. BIG DEAL! This edition of this book has helped me pass most of my tests in class. Without it, I would have done much worse. I keep it as reference. Milady, what were you THINKING when you brought out the new edition???? Put the info back into the new edition!!!!

2 out of 5 stars Inaccurate and missleading.......2003-05-03

Working through this book on a skin care course was very frustrating. The medical terms used were inaccurate and often contradictory.

Althought the basic skin care isues were dealt with efficiently the anatomy and physiology references were not consistent with current medical text books.

This publisher has many better books. Avoid this one.

4 out of 5 stars Great text!.......2003-01-08

This book is very thorough, up-to-date, and informative. I found it easy to read and follow, and the contents pages are very well-labeled, making it easy to find the desired information quickly. I would highly recommend this text to anyone looking to learn new skills or brush up on old skills.

4 out of 5 stars So you want to learn about skin care, eh?.......2002-06-18

I also used this book as a text in Aesthetics School - and at the time, I didn't appreciate it as much as now - when I'm working in the field. I find myself going back and reviewing what I may have missed the first time.
This book has got it all!
- How to Portray a Professional Image (you'd be amazed how many don't know this! yikes...=0) )
- A History of Skin Care and Cosmetics
- Bacteriology
- Sterilization & Disinfection for salon safety
- Anatomy & Physiology
- Disorders of the Skin & Special Procedures
- Ingredient & Product Analysis
- Nutrition & Health of the Skin
- Client Consultation & Skin Analysis
- Massage Techniques
- and more....

I have the '99 version and found that it has helpful and effective to answer most questions that I may have had.
Sure, there are a few errors that can easily be modified - but they are not worth missing this book over!
Very Comprehensive and easy to tackle. I recommend!

3 out of 5 stars update the book.......2002-01-24

This textbook is practically the only standard textbook that can be utilized by students preparing to become estheticians. However, the book needs to be brought up to current standards. Do not just print a new edition without updating the information, this stifles the profession!

4 out of 5 stars great makeup book.......2007-05-18

Being a makeup artist who tries to learn new methods for applying makeup, I enjoyed reading this book. I bought in fact two of Kevyn's books. I also had Bobbi's book and some other books, where they merely advertise their own products and tell you things that are known and basic. Kevyn's book had actual techniques and a variety of looks. Sometimes I think that the way an artist creates a look cannot really be explained, you have to be next to him when he is actually applying the makeup.. putting it in words and pictures is not always easy to do. Kevyn Aucoin is a pleasure to read and he is not only humble but definitely a great artist. I was saddened to read that he is no longer with us.

5 out of 5 stars Makeup bible, ultimate how-to--BEST book on this topic!.......2007-05-18

Makeup bible, ultimate how-to, this book remains the Best book I have seen on the subject of working with color, proportion, shading, and highlighting to create a beautiful, symmetrical, gorgeous face. It is thorough and leaves no question unanswered.

The book begins with the basics: anatomy of the face, foundational ingredients (moisturizer, simple tools, foundation types, powders, concealers) and moves on to techniques. There is an Amazing diagram on shading and highlighting on pg 24 that shows an exaggerated version of what goes on beneath the makeup to create the illusion of symmetry and highlight (or fake) high cheekbones, a lovely chinline, and beautiful eyes. It also discusses brows, eyes, lashes, lips, and then moves onto overall styles and looks. The way he explains with the text and shows with a combination of drawings and pictures makes it clear for anyone, whether a professional or beginner. Excellent resource!

The looks themselves are extremely varied from subtle, minimal, and fresh, to smoky, sexy, and very dramatic. He begins with simple ideas on everyday people, but finishes off with celebrities looking like you have never seen them--you seriously have to find their names to figure out who they are, they look so different. These are examples of what different makeup can do, and for the theatre and fashion folks out there, this section provides you with so much inspiration and ideas--it is priceless!

There is something here for every person and every occasion, so even those who don't like looking overly made up can look great. His pictures of friends, family, and of course, celebrities give this book both warmth and glamour, and his clear way of breaking down various techniques make this the most accessible, user-friendly, useful book I have read on this topic. I recommend it to anyone at all.

2 out of 5 stars Making Faces.......2007-05-03

I was excited about this book because of all the reviews..but when I got the book, it wasn't all that great..it needs to be updated and it just wasn't much of an interest to me..

Book Description

In Real Beauty, celebrity makeup artist Sonia Kashuk brings her professional tips to real life. She offers a fresh, fun approach, whether you like neutral, natural or totally intense. You'll learn how just one or two products can create a great look, how the right application techniques extend wear, and how the secret to putting your best face forward is enhancing what's already there.

Renowned authorities in skin care, health, fitness and nutrition also weigh in, and an exclusive instructional dvd brings Sonia's message of real beauty to life.

You'll get more than how-tos here. You'll get a new sense of confidence. And that, Sonia says, is "the most beautiful thing any woman can wear."

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful book that's full of practical ideas!.......2006-08-04

I've never been a big makeup wearer, but as I've hit my 30's, I've become more interested in wearing makeup to enhance my look. I bought Kashuk's book last year, and it's been great!

The book is extremely practical, and Kashuk walks the reader through each and every step in doing makeup application. She also includes many close-up photos so you can see exactly what she is doing and really learn her techniques. To make it even better, the book also includes a DVD where you can see Kashuk at work. I've pulled the DVD out several times over the past year to brush up on the techniques.

Kashuk also breaks things down for the reader so you see exactly how she applies each product. After covering all of the various steps in the makeup process in individual chapters, she then devotes an entire chapter to showing how a made-up face comes together step by step.

While Kashuk does use beautiful models and actresses as her subjects, what I like is that she emphasizes bringing out what's unique about each individual. She also shows many variations and color options; several times, she'll use the same model and show two different looks so you can see these options.

Overall, it's a great book! I recently bought Bobbi Brown's Beauty and it doesn't hold a candle to this one.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful Guide For All Ages and Skill Levels.......2006-01-27

In the 70's I did a lot of make-up on customers in the salon I worked in. One thing I always told them that the trick was to make people notice the difference in them but not admire their make-up. Imagine my delight to find Sonia has this same philosphy. On the DVD she talks about women being taught, another "thing" of mine. Women are sold all sorts of things but never taught the best way to use them. This book and DVD do just that, they teach. There is something for all skill levels and ages. Young girls just starting out to those of use who are more mature in our beauty can find some new trick. Even though you know Sonia has her own line of products she never pushes them, a real plus to my way of thinking. I have already tried three new ways to apply my make-up and I am pleased with the results. Sonia "rocks" on all levels and you will not be disappointed in this book/DVD combo. Not get out the colors and play!

4 out of 5 stars Very basic.......2005-02-19

I was looking for more advanced makeup techniques. This book is for only everyday casual makeup. I would not recommend it to people who need more than just the basics.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent book and video combination!!!.......2004-09-27

This book is a totally refreshing approach to makeup. In the style of Bobbi Brown, Sonia Kashuk encourages women to feel beautiful no matter what they look like. Her approach to makeup is natural, but does give you a few tricks on achieving certain looks (i.e. the smoky eye). She also is a little bit more relaxed regarding "makeup rules". Amazingly enough, the best part of the book is the video! I have bought many books on makeup (Bobbi Brown, Kevyn Aucoin, Linda Mason) and I have never learned so many new and completely natural tricks and techniques than from Sonia's video, it is amazing!!! I truly reccomend this book if you want to learn how to look perfect but not "made up".

5 out of 5 stars Best Makeup How To Book, Ever!.......2004-09-10

I recently bought Bobbi Brown's book "Beauty Evolution". It's fine but not exceptional. But, Sonia Kashuk's "Real Beauty" IS
EXCEPTIONAL! I had the chance to view it at Borders and I could kick myself for not buying this before. I love the idea of the bonus DVD (you get to see real application which is so essential). No matter how detailed a book is, it's easier to learn the steps from a video. The advice is for real life women to look like themselves but better. I'm ordering this today and hope many of you will also.

What an amazing woman...Jean Carruthers, MD

After studying the fine art of BOTOX both in the states and in Canada, after treating many patients with BOTOX, I am convinced that the Canadians continue to be ahead of of the U.S. with the art of BOTOX use for cosmetic purposes (I've made more than one trip there to learn from them).

Moreover, Dr. Carruthers is the Canadian physician who first wrote about using BOTOX cosmetically (after first treating her secretary and then others with BOTOX). She has continued with her research to lead the field.

If you want to know about the flood, talk to Noah if you can. If want to know about BOTOX, read this book by Jean Carruthers, MD.
