Editorial Review:

From Dr. Leslie Baumann, a world-renowned dermatologist, comes a program that’s revolutionizing the way people everywhere think about–and shop for–skin care. Now you can identify and buy the products that are right for your true skin type. Answer the Baumann questionnaire inside this book and within minutes you can learn…

As everyone knows, all skin is not created equal. But whereas previous books identified only four basic skin types, through her cutting-edge clinical research in Miami Beach, Dr. Leslie Baumann discovered that there are actually sixteen distinctly different skin types–each with unique needs all its own. But caring for your skin doesn’t have to be complicated. As Director of Cosmetic Dermatology at the Miller School of Medicine at the University of Miami, Dr. Baumann has tested her program on thousands of patients, developing a system that is already transforming dermatology. Now her proven program is available to you. You’ll discover:

• Your personal skin type profile detailing exactly what will work–and what won’t–for your unique complexion

• An extensive product guide to name brands suited to every skin type and budget, including cleansers, moisturizers, toners, sun blocks, foundations, and much more

• Natural health and dietary advice for beautiful skin

• Tips on preventing skin aging and “problem” skin

• The latest information on the new world of prescription products, facials, chemical peels, Retin-A, Botox, and collagen injections

So take the questionnaire, discover your type, and find the products you need to look like a million bucks without spending a fortune. With this book in hand, you’ll save time, money–and something even more valuable: your skin.

Satisfied yet puzzled... 5 out of 5 stars.
11 of 11 people found this review helpful.

I just bought this book today, having looked at most of the pages at the bookstore. I love his suggestion about the basic color palette needed to create depths and midtones and highlights for the eye area - given on page 63. There are 13 shades all in the ranges of beige-brown-pink-orange group so it is all about playing with gradual tones working with your skin; no blues, purples, greens etc. which always come and go with trends and seasons basically!

I do love the contouring techniques that are consistent throughout the book - on all the various face shapes, hair colors, eye colors and shapes. I do believe that these subtle shading and contouring techniques are what separates normal everyday faces from the Hollywood divas!

I have two problems though however with the presentation of the book.
1. The images look like they have been digitally enhanced here and there with something like Photoshop SmartBlur. It MAY be that Mr.Jones's technique of contouring is so subtle and perfect that the skin looks like cheese(flawless, smoothed out), or maybe it's the specific lighting they've used - but something about the skin just looks so fake!

It's even more apparent since the before pictures look like they have been taken under a colder lighting with white backgrounds, and the enhanced pictures look like they have at least 3 different lighting sources to give that professional glow with a gradually varying tonal background that makes the faces pop out from the page, and also the hair is done to perfection also. So although the makeup he uses in the book DO enhance the faces, it's all these other little sneaky things that make the Before/After pictures look all the more disparate.

2. A lot of the contouring done seems to have that orange glow - and although they look good on flat paper with all the correct studio lighting and background that flatter the faces, I'm not so sure how these faces will ACTUALLY look in an average life setting. Will they look overly done, too orange, too barbie like, air-brushed like some 80s painting???

Anyway, those are my two complaints or doubts if you like. But I do appreciate a lot of the things shared in this book - the photos ARE quite amazing and beautiful. The colors do inspire me, I love the sensitivity of the subtle changes and variations and gradations Mr. Jones applied to the faces. They are quite picture perfect...

The explanations he gives are really sound visual advices I'd say. I've bought many books regarding makeup, I've taken some professional one-on-one classes with a Korean makeup artist who does a lot of top Korean actresses/models here, and yet, there are things I'd love to try out following the advice given here. I'd like to see how much all of these seductive illustrative images will do for my own face!!!

I just checked out his website too - and realized he had a DVD. I wish I had known that he had these before I bought this book though. It seems like the images in this book may have been recycled though; I saw that there was another book featuring the same photos with MORE detailed color chart with numbered steps on shading, which I'm a little disheartened about. So check out ALL his books before you settle on one!!!

OK. Just my two cents.

Editorial Review:

Forget extreme makeovers! Robert Jones, makeup artist extraordinaire, outlines step-by-step how even the ugliest duckling can become a swan-with makeup alone! In hundreds of awe-inspiring before-and-after photos, Robert makes it easy for any woman to achieve true beauty.

Unlike most makeup books that focus on celebrities or the already-glamorous, Makeup Makeovers shows every woman how to be her most beautiful. No matter what your age, skin tone, or profile, Robert can show you simple techniques that camouflage flaws and highlight each woman's unique beauty.

Best of all, it's EASY! Even if you've never worn makeup before, you can learn how to bring out your best in just a few minutes.

Editorial Review:

Dressing the Man is the definitive guide to what men need to know in order to dress well and look stylish without becoming fashion victims.

Alan Flusser's name is synonymous with taste and style. With his new book, he combines his encyclopedic knowledge of men's clothes with his signature wit and elegance to address the fundamental paradox of modern men's fashion: Why, after men today have spent more money on clothes than in any other period of history, are there fewer well-dressed men than at any time ever before?

According to Flusser, dressing well is not all that difficult, the real challenge lies in being able to acquire the right personalized instruction. Dressing well pivots on two pillars -- proportion and color. Flusser believes that "Permanent Fashionability," both his promise and goal for the reader, starts by being accountable to a personal set of physical trademarks and not to any kind of random, seasonally served-up collection of fashion flashes.

Unlike fashion, which is obliged to change each season, the face's shape, the neck's height, the shoulder's width, the arm's length, the torso's structure, and the foot's size remain fairly constant over time. Once a man learns how to adapt the fundamentals of permanent fashion to his physique and complexion, he's halfway home.

Taking the reader through each major clothing classification step-by-step, this user-friendly guide helps you apply your own specifics to a series of dressing options, from business casual and formalwear to pattern-on-pattern coordination, or how to choose the most flattering clothing silhouette for your body type and shirt collar for your face.

A man's physical traits represent his individual road map, and the quickest route toward forging an enduring style of dress is through exposure to the legendary practitioners of this rare masculine art. Flusser has assembled the largest andmost diverse collection of stylishly mantled men ever found in one book. Many never-before-seen vintage photographs from the era of Cary Grant, Tyrone Power, and Fred Astaire are employed to help illustrate the range and diversity of authentic men's fashion. Dressing the Man's sheer magnitude of options will enable the reader to expand both the grammar and verbiage of his permanent-fashion vocabulary.

For those men hoping to find sartorial fulfillment somewhere down the road, tethering their journey to the mind-set of permanent fashion will deliver them earlier rather than later in life.

Editorial Review:

It’s not your age that’s causing half of those lines and crinkles. It’s your life.

Now, Amy Wechsler, MD shows you how to de-stress your skin and take years—years—off your face.

In 9 days.

Liking the way you look is vital to your health and happiness. But that’s not easy when life runs at warp speed—you’re simultaneously coping with ever-increasing demands: dependent kids, aging parents, or both; shopping; cooking; laundry; money pressures; and more, more, more. Good bet you’re super-stressed, tightly wound, sleep-deprived—and it shows.

Sure, but your thirties you’ve accumulated the first signs of normal aging: crow’s feet, a bit of safe, some broken capillaries. But stress aging—how the madness of modern life affects your physical features inside and out—is today’s biggest skin and health challenge.

Happily, stress aging is very reversible. And it takes only a few days. While you may never be able to totally turn off all the pressure (if only!), Dr. Wechsler has plenty of combination strategies—from her own favorite stress buster to her number one wrinkle reverser—to help you turn back the aging effects of tension and time. She’ll also teach you how to slow down and, to some degree, reverse the natural aging process. This is your guide to feeling, looking, and living young.

In her book, she shows you how to:

-Find out your SkinAge with a groundbreaking test that reveals how old (or young!) you really look
-Personalize a 9-day renewal plan that’s right for your face, wallet, and psyche
-Understand the different cosmetic procedures and products available today
-Adopt a mind-beauty regimen that will keep your skin—correction: your whole body—looking and feeling terrific—not just for now, but for life.

The mind-beauty connection is powerful and can dramatically affect how well—and how fast—you age. The rewards for soling it go far beyond a quick fix. They’re transforming. You’ll not only look better, you’ll also sleep better, feel better, and likely lose unwanted weight as you begin to feel healthier, less stress, and more alive.

Ready for a whole new you?

Open this book and let’s start!

Amy Wechsler, MD, is a dermatologist and a psychiatrist, one of only two doctors in the country who are board-certified in both specialties. Evidence of the mind-beauty connection walks into her office every day: “Premature aging and adult acne are the two most common skin problems I see, and stress and exhaustion are often at the bottom of both,” she says. Dr. Wechsler practices in New York City, where she lives with her husband and two kids. She is a member of the RealAge Scientific Advisory Board.

Not what I expected 2 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I was looking for a book to enhance my creativity with makeup thats when I came across this book "Eye Candy." When I seen the cover I thought to myself well if the cover is that pretty I wonder whats on the inside? Natural courosity so I bought the book. I waited and waited finally I got recieved it in the mail and it seems to be for teenagers. All the models look to be under the age of 18 and overall disapointing, almost seems as though they went into their mothers makeup and painted their little faces as quickly as possible before they were caught. Im not sure what the intial intention was with the book or how it was came up to use "young models" but Im out of my teens and wanted something for ideas for myself not my niece. Long story short I am disapointed with my purchase, so please consider who is going to be the client before you purchase this book.

Editorial Review:
