内容简介 美国著名时尚杂志《魅力》(Allure) 主编、美容教主Linda Wells为您奉上美容、扮靓心得！
Book DescriptionAfter 15 years as Allure's editor-in-chief, Linda Wells has learned a thing or two about beauty--things that other people might not tell you. From how to keep lip gloss on longer than six minutes, to the best fix for frizzy hair, to how to use the latest anti-aging products, ALLURE: CONFESSIONS OF A BEAUTY EDITOR has all the answers. The book includes essential makeup techniques, sidebars, expert tips, emergency fixes, and information on how to get the best products for your money. Writing with the humor and honesty for which Allure is known, Linda and her editors share every dirty secret, explode many common beauty myths, and give readers the honest truth about how to look their best.
From BooklistErase myths like "dabbing toothpaste on a zit will make it disappear." Remember that face cream, once opened, has only six months to live. It's this type of credible, proven information--and dozens of other tidbits--that'll make anyone's eyes open wide, not shut. From the editorial brains of Allure magazine and its editor in chief, Linda Wells, this candid, no-holds-barred book provides data in an easy-to-digest manner--provocative headlines ("Tricks of the Trade," "Beauty Myths"), 1 commandment for each of 10 chapters, three- to five-step how-tos for basic beauty chores (for instance salon waxing or shaving)--in short, a practical treasure trove from experts. Every page, in fact, should elicit a surprised look, an ah-ha. Antiperspirants do not cause cancer--or Alzheimer's. Shape nails in "squoval" fashion (squared-off ovals). And long hair should not extend past breasts. Skin, facial, and whole-body advice for any age.

媒体推荐 Spot Reviewsmostly good, but a little disappointed, October 4, 2006
By Edie Sousa (Manhattan)
I'm a regular reader of Allure, and I've always felt like Linda Wells is more approachable and humane--less judgmental, less attitude--than the typical fashion/beauty diva. I still believe that. However, if you read the magazine, you've probably read just about everything that's in this book. Even the 10 chapter openers come straight from the pub letters. In addition, there are 66 full-page color photos that have little or nothing to do with the text--they're basically decorative. Pretty 20-something faces. The book could have benefitted from some serious how-to photos or diagrams in a few places. The layout is a little hard to follow in some areas as well. I suppose that there's really not that much new under the sun in the world of beauty basics--I just expected more. I wish, for example, that she'd addressed the issue of leg/body makeup. But maybe that's a different demographic!

Great Book!, March 31, 2007
By Bethie D (Stokesdale, NC)
I'm not someone who reads Allure on a regular basis, in fact, I rarely read it. So this was a great book for me. I'm a 30 year old who doesn't spend a whole lot of time on myself so this was a great book to give me basic information about most every part of the body. My only complaint is that I wish it had more instructional information on applying makeup.
I really recommend this book!
