Beauty, The New Basics

Beauty, The New Basics
by: Rona Berg


Editorial Review:

Overflowing with know-how, passion, and secrets revealed, BEAUTY by Rona Berg is the only beauty book you'll ever need. BEAUTY is filled with step-by-step how-tos, professional techniques, brand and product comparisons, and inside tips gleaned from a pro's pro who's covered the world of beauty for The New York Times Magazine, Elle magazine and other national publications.

The book tackles all three major categories-The Face, Hair, The Body. The emphasis is on simplicity and a healthy, natural approach, and the range cuts across all ethnicities and ages. There are five-minute skin regimes, facials, makeup tricks and health tips. How to reduce stress in the bath and pamper yourself with an easy home spa. The long and short of hair care - including what to do on bad hair days. Remedies for beauty emergencies (eyes puffy from fatigue? do what the models do and use a dab of Preparation H). Plus makeovers, recipes, historical lore, stories, time-lines, and an extensive glossary and list of resources. It's a knock-out.

Outdated:

I just received my copy in the mail and skimmed through the entire book in about 4 hours. The make it at home stuff was neat but I thought just buying it already together was faster and cheaper. I got a little bored with it as I already knew just about everything she mentioned thanks to beauty magazines. As always no one mentions Mary Kay products. I tried to look up several websites and many were outdated and the sites were closed. I do plan on returning it and am angry at myself for not noticing the... more info

much more than just the basics:

I bought this book about a year ago and refer to it often. I agree with other reviewers that it contains a wealth of information about beauty and the beauty industry.
However, in going back and rereading this book I have noticed a few things that I disagree with. Berg mentions in a few different places that mineral oils clog pores and should not be used by people who are prone to breakouts. This is debateable; there are plenty of dermatologists who believe that mineral oil is not comedogenic. Berg also... more info

Comprehensive:

I found this book to be very informative and comprehensive. It is a must read for anyone who wants to learn how to take care of herself. The only problem I have with this book is the product suggestions are outdated. Many of the products are no longer on the market. But it teaches enough for you to be able to use it as a guide in selecting similar products.

Real World Beauty!:

So many times it seems beauty editors are overly influenced by the hordes of free samples they get from obscure/expensive make up/hair companies and they forget about us real folks. Not everyone can spend $$$$$ on Creme de la Mar although I'm sure it's completely worth it--but so is my car!
This books uses the faces of everyday folks--warts, wrinkles and all so you can clearly see that makeup is an improvement--it won't fix many years of bad decisions and wear and tear. Many good suggestions on... more info
