Book Description

October 15, 2002

Bobbi Brown, renowned beauty authority and author of two New York Times bestsellers, follows up with her most important book to date, Bobbi Brown Beauty Evolution. A celebration of beauty across the generations, this positive-outlook guide for women of all ages reflects, as Bobbi says, "What happens to us as we make our way through life, and how we can continue making ourselves better."

In Bobbi Brown Beauty Evolution, Bobbi shares her candid views of her own beauty odyssey, as well as her formidable makeup expertise, to help women feel good about themselves at every age. Readers from their twenties to their seventies and beyond will experience a new appreciation of themselves through Bobbi's enriching book, and ultimately, even embrace -- yes, embrace -- the aging process.

In the engaging, down-to-earth style that's pure Bobbi, she addresses the need-to-know issues we all face at one time or another -- from how to deal with changes in skin to what adjustments in makeup application are really necessary (and appropriate) as we age and everything in between.

With more than 300 photographs specially commissioned for this book, Bobbi Brown Beauty Evolution includes the personal, heartfelt thoughts of real women from all walks of life -- all ages (from 20 to 101!), shapes, sizes, and ethnicities -- reflecting on what beauty means to them. Their words serve to underscore Bobbi's message that true beauty isn't something you're blessed with -- "it comes from having confidence and feeling good about who you are."

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Brown, celebrity make-up artist and founder of a highly successful cosmetics line, here follows her bestselling Bobbi Brown Beauty and Bobbi Brown Teenage Beauty with a winning guide to looking good throughout a lifetime. With the warmth and encouragement of a fellow comrade, Brown encourages 20-somethings to keep their makeup minimal, 30-somethings to take better care of their skin and 70-somethings to relax and enjoy all they've achieved (easy for Brown to say; she's 45). Peppering her book with diet and exercise tips, Brown includes how-tos on getting rid of body hair, spider veins and those annoying bumps ("not exactly a rash and not pimples") that can line certain female arms. With chapters on pregnancy, plastic surgery and even coping with cancer, this friendly resource is one to keep next to the eyeliner. And throughout, Brown urges her readers to feel good about themselves: what makeup can't fix, she says, self-confidence can.

5.0 out of 5 stars THANK YOU BOBBI, November 9, 2002
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Bobbi Brown Beauty Evolution: A Guide to a Lifetime of Beauty (Hardcover)
AT LAST! I cannot believe that a book has been written for ALL ages....whenever I am reading a magazine (or book) about make-up, it sounds like women are no longer interested in looking good after 50! NOT TRUE! In just a few years I'll be reaching 70 and I want to look as good as I can at this age, and Bobbi has great suggestions and tips. I loved this book. I am SO tired of reading about make up suggestions for 20's, 30's 40's 50's then NOTHING, like women over 50 or 55 no longer exist. Also, seeing older women on tv, just on arthritis commercials. Can't we see some pretty older woman on a commercial for make up, or a hair product???? When I was reading Bobbi's book, I felt I was "still in there"...someone like Bobbi knows there are women like us who care about themselves. She helps us use makeup the right way for all ages!!! Thanx Bobbi......you made MY day.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous!, October 15, 2002
By 
Wendy L. Grodnitzky (Owings MIlls, Maryland United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bobbi Brown Beauty Evolution: A Guide to a Lifetime of Beauty (Hardcover)
I am a 46 year old mother and wife. ALthough my husband and I are almost empty nestors (next year) I will always continue to try to make myself look my best for me and my family. Your book allowed me to read and learn the natural way to do this. No on needs to be heavy handed when applying make up. It seems by your books that the more natural looking the make up the more beautiful you are. Letting your flaws come through can show ones beauty. Thank you for your inspirations.

4.0 out of 5 stars BETTER THAN HER FIRST BOOK, September 26, 2004
By 
This review is from: Bobbi Brown Beauty Evolution: A Guide to a Lifetime of Beauty (Hardcover)
I find this book to be better and more complete than Bobbi's first book. It contains basically the same techniques, but presented in a different format. It is less restrictive regarding colors and makeup application and uses more real women for models. Also, the tone is less bossy, and I liked the aproach to makeup divided in several age groups. My guess is Bobbi read all the bad reviews on her first book and tried to improve it. Well, she succeded.
If you don't own her first book and would like to read something of hers, definitely buy this one, don't waste your money on both. This one is more complete and has better pictures. Whereas you might be a little uncomfortable with her way of speaking (don't do this or that...) you'll appreciate her advice in the end. After all, she did come to revolutionalize the makeup industry with her natural approach to makeup. Before her, the choice in foundation colors was very limited and basically pink-toned. She was the one who suggested women should wear yellow-toned foundation and natural blush (not the diagonal stripe along the cheekbone). Many people may not realize it, but the current trend to make makeup natural is here to stay and she brought it forward!!! Thank you Bobbi, because of you we see less mask-like pink foundation, less horrible blush, and even less brown liner on the lips! If you haven't changed the way you apply makeup n several years (or decades), you will love Bobbi. Also, if you are in a makeup rut and use foundation blush and lip liner in this way you should DEFINATELY buy this book and liberate yourself of the horrid 80's style of applying makeup. You'll be grateful for being able to show your most natural and pretty face!!
