A lot of effort has gone into creating awareness and knowledge about the subject. It is a book for every man and woman who wants to be a beautiful person. It is a book meant for every questioning mind.

Preface

A thing of beauty is a joy forever," said Keats. Beauty has been the prerogative of the fairer sex since ages. In recent times, beauty and body care have become more important because they boost one's self-confidence, improve present ability and enhance chances in career development. As it is said-'A good face is a letter of recommendation.'

Many books have been written on the subject of beauty to help beauty-conscious generation of men and women to look good and feel good about one.

The book makes an endeavour to help the readers to use the art of make-up to camouflage one's flaws and highlight the good features. It provides information on the new products that have flooded the market with emphasis on their intended use.

It is a book for those who want to be beautiful people. Some are lucky enough to be born beautiful while others can equip themselves with the vast treasure of knowledge provided in this book.

Introduction

Ever since God created Woman, she has been interested in looking good. Down the ages, women have devised various ways and means to improve their appearance. They have experimented with various potions and lotions so that they could preserve their beauty and enhance it. Cleopatra has been known to have used asses' milk for bathing, all for the sake of a beautiful and smooth skin.

This is the era of youthful looks, energy and vivacity. Whether it is a man or a woman, everyone wants to project a pleasing personality. While in a job or social interchange, appearance plays an important role. The cult of beauty is no longer the prerogative of the idle, rich women but a social fact, not a luxury but an obligation and not a necessity but a priority for every woman, whatever be her standing in the society.

Beauty gives confidence to a person. In this world of tough competition, in every sphere, beauty is one more weapon, which comes handy when you are fighting for the top notches, whether in a career or personal life. This is the age of beautiful and smart people. The new millennium will see hordes of confident and beautiful people marching forth with renewed energy, vivacity and verve. We want you to be a part of that lot.

Some women are lucky to be born beautiful while others can make use of the vast treasure of knowledge that has come forth in this century, to make the beautiful. I believe that every woman is beautiful in some way or the other. Each of us has a specific quality and beauty; it is just a matter of highlighting that plus point and brings it forth for the world to notice. And all it takes is some effort and interest, to create a beautiful presence.

In this book, you have within your reach, a thousand tips and hints, which will help you revive your beauty and create a new persona. The queries that have always bothered you and the answers you have sought after are now within your reach. These solutions will help you unravel your hidden beauty and personality. The ideas given here are tried and tested for efficacy. They have been around for ages but in fragmented form. These fragments have now been collated to put in use by the busy young women who do not have the time to pore through hundreds of books on beauty, hair care and skin care to take care of them. Almost all topics related to a beautiful appearance have been brought under an umbrella.

A book like this takes a long time to take shape. There are hundreds of questions that occur to the mind. Some have easy solutions and some defy solutions. Painstakingly and patiently, I have tried to sift out the mundane and give place to the relevant. The types of questions given here are asked by women of almost all age groups, all over the world. Beauty has a strange unifying quality, women the world over face similar problems of the hair and skin. I have come across various doubts and confusions that persist in the minds of women whenever new products are launched with a great fanfare. The information given by the companies can be misleading or exaggerated and there is always a lingering fear about the efficacy of the cosmetics. The changing pace of the world requires quick solution to almost all problems. It has been my Endeavour to hand over the answers in a platter to those eager minds that are clouded by hundreds of questions. Here is wishing you a beautiful beginning!
