Product Description:
Forget getting older gracefully--This is the beauty and style bible every woman has been waiting for!HOW NOT TO LOOK OLD is the first--ever cheat sheet of to-dos and fast fixes that pay-off big time--all from Charla and her friends, the best hair pros, makeup artists, designers, dermatologists, cosmetic dentists and personal shoppers in the biz. Packed with eye-opening details on hair color, brows, lipstick, wrinkle-erasers, jeans, shapewear, jewelry, heels, and more, the book speaks to every woman: from low maintenance types who don't want to spend a fortune or tons of time on her looks to high maintenance women who believe in looking fabulous at any price. There's also too-old vs. just-right before and after photos, celebrity examples of good and bad style, shopping lists of Charla's brilliant buys in fashion and beauty products, coveted addresses of "Where the top beauty pros go," fun sidebars--and more.
Known to national audiences from her ten years on NBC's Today show, style expert Charla Krupp dishes out her secrets in this "ultimate" to-do list for looking hip and fabulous -- no matter what your age.

This is one book which truly gives honest, terrific advice about what its title indicates: How Not to Look Old. I have especially benefitted from the advice on what stockings to wear with a dress. I used to wear nude stockings. Now I am wearing black tights and they make this 47 year old look great. The author was right! I also learned I should not wear dark lip liner with dark lipstick. I am trying to find the right shade of pink lipstick. I really liked that the author gives actual brand names of products to try. And she doesn't just stick to expensive department store brands. If you like the show on TLC, What Not to Wear with Stacy London and Clinton Kelly, you will love this book.

With books like this one, the reader can either approach the subject matter with an open mind, or take offense to all the flaws in yourself that the writer helps to continuously point out. My first reaction was to take offense when I realized just how many 'apparent' flaws I had. Once I got past my initial indignation and applied the advice a little less seriously, I realized there is actually some good information in this book. The trick is, take some of it on board to less the ageing process, but don't get caught up in the whole totally aesthetic and vain theme of it all. Woth a read, but probably not at the asking price.

I read this book cover to cover in two days. I couldn't put it down. It was full of useful information. I had gotten comfortable with same "old" products, routine and dress. All I needed was a little tweaking which I got from the book.

This book offers a lot of tips--from the very simple and inexpensive to the costly and surgical-- that in the opinion of the author and experts help a woman not look old, but rather "young and hip." I'm gonna say right off, that while I don't want to look old and passe, I can't at 48 look young and hip. That would be silly and even desperate seeming. I simply want to look better for my age. This might serve as a career enhancer, however, for women in competitive careers where staying youthful is a necessity, not a luxury. Ageism sucks.
The cover pic of the author, btw, looks highly processed (as in airbrushed). The blond hair is fake (too light) and has darker brown roots showing. The teeth look done (ie capped or lumineered or something). Her figure is trim and her out fit is, indeed, flattering and youthful. Charla Krupp is an attractive woman who does, indeed, look high maintenance. You can tell she works at it.
However, when I saw dark roots and overbleached hair and overly white looking teeth and airbrushed looking pics, I start off thinking, "Did I buy the wrong book? Is this the person to advise ME?" I know, that's not a generous response to a pic, but that is what I thought. I don't want to be bleached blond, bleached teeth, and botoxed. Most of us just don't have the inclination, time, or money to keep up with such things.
I set aside my response to the photo and looked inside. Yes, she does offer helpful tips...
