Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I swear that I read much of her material in other books (by other authors). She is very fond of name-dropping (and I actually have previously gone to two of the hair stylists she mentioned so I'm not impressed by her connections) and uses up a lot of pages talking about movie stars, famous stylists etc., then dropping a tidbit from a stylist or makeup artist. I'm not particularly impressed by how many famous people the author has known, I was looking for fashion, hair and makeup tips. This book isn't "heavy" on any. This book wan't very helpful to me. Why? 1. Hair: She addresses three "types" of hair: Short, Medium and Long. All "tips" seem to assume that the reader has great hair and a great cut. No tips for people in humid climates, people with fine hair, how to look great in rain, etc. She says you need "smooth" hair, but doesn't say specifically how to accomplish that. So if you really do need advice, you won't find it here. 2. Makeup: Different advice sections sometimes disagree with other sections in her book. Many of the makeup colors or specific product names listed are obsolete. I felt that several of the descriptions/drawings of how to create an eye "look" contradicted themselves when discussing colors or placement of shadows. Shadows mentioned in drawings (not by brand!) are not listed in the text, so how do I know what brand to buy? Overall, I have received more advice and demonstrations from You Tube than from this book. On the plus side, she did have some interesting advice about skin care (although again, some sections contradicted others). I gave it a 2 rather than a 1 because it helped pass the time on a long plane flight, and gave me some good-sounding lipstick colors (which I will buy if they still exist). I don't recommend spending the money on this book that reads like it was written on a long plane flight, itself.
