5.0 out of 5 stars Your Beauty is in the eyes of the celebrites ?, August 17, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Seventeen: How to Be Gorgeous: The Ultimate Beauty Guide to Makeup, Hair, and More (Paperback)

If you want a book that tells you how to look on the outward appearance based on how "celebrites" look like and you are not apart of the "how i want to look" this book is not about that. This book tells about how to be yourself, looking on our own strengths, not what someone else wants you to look like. Know that we can look our own unique way with our own makeup, hairstyle, and more. I myself am a teenager and felt somewhat oppressed by all the glamour and glitz and looking through this book this is one of the best books ! I encourage you to buy it. Just click "add to shopping bag" and you got a great book !

5.0 out of 5 stars Moms will be very impressed with this book too, September 6, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Seventeen: How to Be Gorgeous: The Ultimate Beauty Guide to Makeup, Hair, and More (Paperback)

I picked up my daughter's copy of the book and was extremely impressed with the amount of valuable information it contains. I love the idea that it encourages readers to be themselves rather than to try to emulate others. And.. there are some great hints for moms as well! I highly recommend the book!
