Marie Angell, July 20, 2008

Nobody wants to look old, especially the old. I mean, older. The young-old. Fifty is the new Thirty. Whatever.

I don't want to look old either, so I read a lot of books like this, many of them ridiculous.

So it quite refreshing to encounter Charla Krupp's take on "fast, effortless ways to look 10 years younger."

Ms. Krupp has a very good grip on reality and understands that (a) most women don't want to look like teenagers, they just want to look fresh and attractive; (b) most women don't have a ton of disposable cash to spend on themselves.

The book is well laid out with each chapter devoted to a particular subject (clothes, makeup, etc) and, within that chapter, suggestions and products at a variety of price points.

The style is pleasantly conversational, not pushy; the author's years of experience in the beauty field shows, as well as her own experiments.

I have tried enough of the advice in the book to know that she is on track. Dressing well but youthfully cuts years off your look; good foundation garments make a huge difference. Her advice and brand recommendations are on target.

Her product recommendations are probably worth the price of the book, because you can spend a lot of money experimenting.

This book is probably the best I've read on the subject. Highly recommended.
