Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly
Hopkins, known as The Makeover Guy, explains fashion dos, don'ts and oh-no-she-didn'ts for women in the second act of their lives. A quiz helps the reader identify which of six Image Profiles suits her tastes (Casual, Romantic, Innovative, etc.); clothes, hair and makeup tips follow accordingly. Hopkins is encouraging and helpful: he does not simply tell women to clean their closets of any unsuitable clothes. He provides a checklist of what you'll need, a 10-step to-do list and a questionnaire to determine which clothes to keep and which to toss. Benefiting from this book requires a certain amount of dedication—this is no quick-fix beauty mag article. There is even a revival guide journal in the back where readers can mark down outfits that worked or didn't work, collect contact information on their personal beauty team and keep track of daily, weekly and monthly beauty tasks. Hopkins's constant self-marketing can get annoying: irrelevant photos of himself litter the pages, and he wastes space touting his fashion victories over difficult clients. But his appearances on Oprah, the book's attention to detail and some astounding before-and-after photos attest to Hopkins's expertise. (May)

5.0 out of 5 stars Chock full of content and great advice!, April 18, 2008
By J.J, "J.J" (Hockessin, DE United States) - See all my reviews
I am an Image Consultant that specializes in working with women over 40 and this is hands down the best book I have seen come out in a while!
I love how Christopher has put trends in the background and instead focuses on what these women need...some honesty, and softer lip color!
Some of the best makeover, I've seen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Staging Your Comeback, April 18, 2008
In yet another frustrating search for haircuts appropriate for older women, I stumbled across this book. I saw the makeovers of women like myself and thought why not? I love the book! I took the quiz and defined my "style" very quickly. That was one week ago and the compliments I received just today on my new haircut made the book "priceless". I believe my comeback has just begun!

5.0 out of 5 stars Its About Time, March 15, 2008
By Busy Body (Minneapolis, MN USA) - See all my reviews
Its about time that someone wrote a book addressing the beauty and issues of older women. Christopher Hopkins does it with a tremendous amount of artistry, skill, respect and compassion. The makeovers in the book are brilliant. The advice is remarkable in its detail and helpfulness. I strongly recommend this book to any woman but especially to women over 45.
