A book to make you feel instantly feminine and glamourous! - By: , 10 Feb 2001
A wonderful companion to Kathy Phillips' Book of Blondes which I gave to my hair colourist last Christmas. This is a superb guidebook for any woman with practical tips & tricks of the trade from some of my favourite beauty writers. The sections on choosing a qualified physician & cosmetic dermatology & surgery are sensible & very up-to-date. I especiallly enjoyed reading about The Rules of Successful Skincare - Knowledge, Realism, Holism, & Patience. It sets the tone that 'miracle' & 'cream' is often not a unified concept. The 'New Skincare Essentials' chart makes easy work out of understanding alll of the latest technologies, what they do, & what strengths to look for on the label. As a consummate beauty junkie, I would recommend it to everyone.
A book that will make you feel good about yourself! - By: , 29 Jan 2001
"Beauty is no longer considered to be a gift of the chosen few..."

As soon as you open this book the blend of mature writing mixed with with the good old down-to-earth idea that beauty comes from within, is apparent.

The ultimate beauty bible for the new millennium, "Vogue Beauty" is a superb publication cram-packed full of fascinating inside information, handy beauty tips & an array of beautiful images.

This book is a delight to read.

In the stylish manner that you would expect from a book by "Vogue", this will appeal not only to the die-hard fashion consumer but also those who simply wish to expand on their knowledge of the beauty industry.

The book begins by briefly charting fashion from the 1950s to present, & taking an exclusive peek into future innovations. It then takes a look at 'The Body'. This section deals with the usual healthy eating & excerise ideas but adds some welcome information on stress relief & 'holistic therapies'. The detail this book goes into is amazing. Instead of just explaining that exercise is good for you, like most other beauty books, "Vogue Beauty" goes out of its way to give many examples of what you could do to get involved in exercise, as if it's actuallly grabbing you & telling you to get off your back-side & do something!!

This book is a fantastic motivator!!

"Vogue Beauty" combines biological facts (such as in the 'Skincare' section) with down-to-earth advice in order to help you to get the most out of what you have got, which seems to be the basis of the book. The only fault i would put against this book is that some of the scientific jargon is a little complex & therefore confusing, but apart from that it is a fantastic book.

The highlights of this book for me were the 'Hair' & 'Make up' sections & the surprising addition of the section on 'Scent', which defines the world of perfumery.

"Vogue Beauty" is absolutely fantastic & a must for those who want to look, & feel, their best. It deals with almost every aspect of the beauty industry.

A stylish & informative read.
