Looking Good, Feeling Beautiful: The Avon Book of Beauty (1981)

Description: Here's a great Gift Idea! Looking Good, Feeling Beautiful The Avon Book of Beauty Amply illustrated, this concise book gives you the basics of skin care, makeup selection and aplication, and other topics pertaining to feeling beautiful! (See sample pages above.) From the Introduction: To enjoy good health, to feel alive and happy, to look one's best —these are the goals of just about every woman I know. And this desire to look good is both natural and healthy. The urge to improve one's appearance is not new. Women of ancient Egypt shadowed their eyes and tinted their nails. And we have all seen pictures of the tightly pinched waists and powdered pompadour hairdos that were the rage of the late 1700s. But today, enhancing one's looks is an individual matter. Rigid rules about beauty and fashion no longer apply. Designers no longer dictate one silhouette to be worn by everyone, and beauty experts no longer proclaim that you have to have eyebrows that conform to a perfect arc. Today, the mark of an attractive woman is that she is interested in fashion and beauty trends, but selects and adapts what is right for her. Even fashion models reflect this attitude of personal style. I've attended photography sessions and seen them without their makeup, looking much like any other young women. But with makeup, as if by magic, each appears glamorously unique. Each has highlighted those features that make her special: like high cheekbones, or bright eyes, or full lips. That is what the Avon Beauty Book will help you do — choose what is right for you. And because self-knowledge is so fundamental to good looks, our program begins in Chapter 1 with a Beauty Checkup—a self-assessment and self-discovery. As you start your program, keep in mind that making changes in your appearance will mean making changes in your habits and attitudes. That's not always easy or comfortable, but only change can get you out of a rut and ruts are boring—for you and those around you. "All right," you may be thinking, "I'm ready for self-discovery and I'm willing to make changes. But how do I find my personal style?" This is the question we believe this book can help you answer. As the world's largest beauty company with over a million Representatives worldwide, we at Avon are constantly asked for beauty advice. Like the majority of women today, Avon Representatives and their customers lead demanding, busy lives. They want information that is basic, reliable, and practical. That is why we've approached the subject of beauty simply, and directed you toward a look that we call "naturalness with style. " It's all here, gleaned from our beauty experts, cosmetologists, scientists and consultants and filled with proven tips and suggestions from women just like you. Making the commitment to becoming the most attractive woman you can be is really the biggest step. Once taken, you'll soon know that making some changes and investing some time in yourself is well worth it. It's not only looking good. It's feeling beautiful...every day of your life. Phyllis B.
