Summary: Great Book
Comment: This is just a great book. I found it at a time in my life when I really needed some help.
Christopher has a unique way of writing that makes you feel as though he is sitting right next to
you while you're reading, he really cares about you and he's not afraid to tell you exactly what he
thinks. We all should have a friend like that, and that's what I feel I've gained with this
experience, a new friend. He gives you information and a plan to carry it through, not just makeup
and hair, but your total self, right down to cleaning out your closet and your makeup bag. He
encourages you to eat right and get moving, stand up straight and be proud of who you are. This
book is a must for anyone who wants to age gracefully and look good doing it.

Summary: Young 62 year old female
Comment: ORDER THIS BOOK RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!! It's excellent! Around 55 I couldn't figure out how to dress my
changing body, much less what to do with my thinning hair and forget the makeup...everything at the
cosmetic counter was geared for a dewy 20 something. Now I know how to dress for my shape and what
kind of makeup to use so I don't look like a circus clown. I'm starting to feel better about
myself. Aging gracefully is just a matter of changing our outdated ways and this book outlines in
detail new techniques for us old broads.

Summary: He Knocks it out of the Ballpark!
Comment: This book, graphically lavish, grabs you from the beginning and delivers. Hopkins is
straightforward, endearingly honest, wickedly witty, and an expert in his field. He delivers the
goods -- chapters on finding your "authentic self," things we need to do and the ones we must never,
hair, clothing, makeup and stunning makeovers. Lots of books offer this information: Hopkins gives
more. He isn't holding anything back -- he really does want you to bask in the beauty and
self-confidence inherent in all women. So many "beauty self-help" books don't live up to their
potential: this one does and it's worth every penny.

Summary: Not just for over 40 crowd
Comment: I'm only 32, but when I saw Christopher promoting his book on TV I knew I had to have it! I know
the target audience is for ages 45 and up, but I had already fallen into the same ruts described on
pages 11 and 12.

Below are several reasons why this book truly delivers on teaching how
to stage a comeback:

The most important feature of the book is that it covers the major
subjects thoroughly enough for the reader to attain success, but it is not bulky or
overwhelming.

The journaling aspects of the book are very helpful, indeed necessary, so
that the information being given can "sink in." The questions asked are right on the mark, so there
is no time wasted.

In reading the pages, I could sense that Christopher really wanted
the reader to succeed -- he has added a personal warmth that makes this much more than a cold-read
textbook.

The book addresses common objections (that keep women from looking their
best), teaches how to wear hair/makeup/clothes/accessories to the best advantage, and helps the
reader identify their style.

After reading the book, I could begin to easily see what
didn't work for me AND WHY! Shopping is now a lot more fun, since I know how to look for the things
that suit me and walk out having purchased items that I'll wear again and again.

Even
younger readers can benefit from Christopher's timeless advice.

Summary: By far one of the best books for women over 45
Comment: This is by far one of the most helpful books for women well over 40. It is right on the money for
style tips and practical advise, dealt with a very knowlegeable yet gentle hand. This man truly
appreciates older women. It gave me the tools, and did a lot as far as adjusting my sagging
self-esteem (as well as body parts lol)- bringing everything back up to where it should be. Most
books are trite, frumpy, too trendy and sound desparate - whereas this book helps you embrace who
you truly are, at any age, and rejoice in that. Well done. Wish I had found it before I wasted money
on other similar texts.
