This book has become an all time favorite of mine. For those of you who are approaching 50 this is an excellent book on beauty for women over 45. It is fresh, inviting and uplifting to know that we are not out of the Beauty race just yet. In this book the author Christopher Hopkins talks about his own mother and her beauty routine for every day. It was amazing to read what she did every day just to weed the garden or work in the house.

The book is written from the perspective of not trying to keep up with the younger generation but keeping up with age appropriate fashion. Beside fashion he talks about beauty, make up, body styles and hair cuts. He explains what to look for. He even mentions the unmentionables such as not wearing thongs or how your bra should fit for your body type. He has great recommendations for looking your best at all times.

The book is designed to be interactive. After each chapter there is a task to be completed before moving on. As you go through he explains each part and you decide where you fit in for your beauty comeback. It is totally customizable. By following his examples you really can't go wrong. By interacting and completing the task, you begin to see the potential for your own beauty to flourish. Now there is a willingness to stick to be creative and stick to the plan.

The book can be used by all women ethnic or not. You will learn some interesting thing about yourself and other women. You will also realize you are not alone in trying to define your own beauty. Now there is help. Use it as a guide or use it as a beauty bible. But the tips advice and information that is contained in this book will never go out of style and it's not just another fad. He talks about trends and what to look for if a trend is going to stand the test of time.

Through it all he encourages you to set up a system of maintaining your new found beauty so that you can look your best not matter the occasion. In the end, if you have done all the tasks and steps in the previous chapters you will now have the making of your maintenance system for your beauty. He even gives you room in the book to write down all your answers and your results. There are forms in the back to help you with self assessments, goal setting and maintenance. Use these forms to design the new you and don't be afraid to dream.

While it may look like a lot to go through to acquire your beauty revival , let me reassure you it is, but we are so worth it. Some of us has spent our adult lives raising kids, working and taking care of family, being everything to every one. We deserve a turn at being beautiful once again just for the sake of being beautiful. If you are one that has laid your beauty aside for the time being, this is book for you. If you are trying to figure out what would be your perfect look this book can help. It helps you build a foundational plan to work from. Once the foundation is laid you now have the freedom to experiment and find what is uniquely you.
