Review # 1 was written on 2019-01-11 00:00:00 Isaac Taylor The book is much much more than a anti-aging book. It is more like a super healthy you book! It features big and beautiful full color photos of the delicious foods that heal. Providing information about the what benefits each particular food provides. An excellent addition to the book would have been recipes for external skin care rather than just for the benefits of ingesting certain foods. If you like a particular food & are curious about it's health traits, you can easily look it up & find a good amount of information. Now remember, you aren't going to find info. about your favorite ice cream or candy bar! You will however find helpful info. about berries, fruits, veggies, nuts, dairy, meats, the sun etc. The main focus is what a particular food item does that is beneficial. The nutrients it contains, fiber, water, antioxidants. Whatever makes the particular food so good is the main focus of the food. If it has small amounts of Vitamin C, that probably isn't going to be mentioned. Loaded with Vit. E and or fiber? That will be mentioned. It also features a decent sized recipe section at the back of the book so you can incorporate your new found knowledge into tasty meals, snacks, & smoothies! Yum! I look forward to it's ease of use next time I am asked about a particular food item & I'm unsure of the answer, I can quickly find the information I need and pass it on. No more time consuming flipping through book after book.

Review # 2 was written on 2021-02-16 00:00:00 Ronald Aronds In July, a makeover at a Nars cosmetics counter rocked my world. The transformative powers of the products were almost an afterthought after fanciful details like black matte rubber packaging (designed by Fabien Baron) and amusing color names (my tinted moisturizer is "Finland," lip balm "Chelsea Girls," and eyeshadow "All About Eve" - all cultural references I dig). Like the makeup line, this beautiful spiral-bound book is at once solemn and approachable. Large, high-res photos of bare-faced models, with the facing page showing the same model made up. A transparent overlay shows which colors were applied where. If you want a step-by-step chronology of how to apply the makeup, simply flip to the appendix of each chapter. I learned how to do a grey smokey eye, a bright pink lip, and a golden Swedish lass look. A few potential beefs, and their resolutions: - Francois Nars only references his own makeup, and it can be hard to get a sense of what shades are really used, since the colors have such cryptic names (Karpates, Alhambra, Damage, Dolce Vita). But in the step-by-step texts, he describes colors (i.e. silvery grey, or black, or lilac) to help out the non-makeup-artist. - Almost all the models are pale white ladies. All the makeup applications would work as well or much better on Asian and darker-skinned women (especially the heavy eyeliner styles and lipstick looks, which are unflattering on pale skin), but many readers might be turned off by the lack of representation. If so, check out the sequel: "Makeup Your Mind: Express Yourself," in which Nars photographs a variety of models.
