5.0 out of 5 stars Love this book, April 1, 2005

By	Girl on the go! "Hello" (Northeast, USA) - See all my reviews

I bought this book to whip myself into shape for my wedding day. (I bought this and Pedersen's other book, KISS Guide to Planning a Wedding, at the same time.) It worked. The book was so filled with smart advice that I was able to concentrate on those things that were going to actually make a difference in my looks, while avoiding those which werw a waste of time and money. Like another reviewer said, I love that there is also information on creating a beautiful life and an aura of beautifulness.

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite beauty book, April 1, 2005

By	Lady Me "Geraldine" (Chicago) - See all my reviews

Having read numerous beauty and "improve your lifestyle" type books, I feel qualified to say KISS Guide to Beauty is the best I've come across. Great information given in an entertaining way (Pedersen can be very funny). The book goes much further than most beauty books do--discusses things like how to create a beautiful "persona" and is beautiful look at as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous Insider Info, April 18, 2002

By A Customer

So you're ready to look better--a lot better. You know you need help, but you're unsure where to turn. A beauty book, perhaps? But which one? THose model-written books are too unrealistic, those makeup-artists books are too weird. Other books aren't in-depth enough. What you want is something to give you the nitty-gritty, behind the scenes, all-encompassing makeup, hair, skin, body and cosmetic surgery secrets that will make you look as gorgeous as you can--and more gorgeous than anyone you know! KISS Guide to Beauty is that book. It not only gives you specific tips to make you look gorgeous, it tells you how to go about creating that unique aura that all unforgettably beautiful women have. I've bought copies for myself and four of my closest friends. This book is that good!
