Beauty, The New Basics this question feed

Big, ebullient, brimming over with know-how and passion, BEAUTY by Rona Berg is the only beauty book you'll ever need-a one-size-fits-all, 500-page guide of information, anecdotes and attitude. Illustrated throughout in two-color and featuring a 96-page full-color section, BEAUTY is filled with step-by-step how-tos, professional techniques, brand and product comparisons, and inside tips gleaned from a pro's pro who's covered the world of beauty for The New York Times Magazine, Elle magazine and other national publications.

The book tackles all three major categories-The Face, Hair, The Body. The emphasis is on simplicity and a healthy, natural approach, and the range cuts across all ethnicities and ages. There are five minute skin regimes, facials, makeup tricks and health tips. How to reduce stress in the bath and pamper yourself with an easy home spa. The long and short of hair care-including what to do on bad hair days. Remedies for beauty emergencies (eyes puffy from fatigue? do what the models do and use a dab of Preparation H). Plus make-overs, recipes, historical lore, stories, time-lines, and an extensive glossary and list of resources. It's a knock-out.

This book is the most complete i've ever seen. I love it, it's honestly become my new bible. I also purchased a few others but this is by far the best. I highly recommend it to any girl who wants to know how to take care of herself.

Whether you are a menace to yourself with eye pencil or are a Femme Fatal already, there is so much up to date info and specific useful suggestions and product recommendations that I have completely changed how I care for my skin and the rest of me as well! I finnally feel like I have a handle on all this, and it's all for the good. I am going to buy a copy for all my friends, male and female. Why not? Everyone deserves to look their best, in whatever way the wish. Especially good if you are short of funds and REALLY need to know what can be skimped on and what can't.
