A groundbreaking celebration of ageless beauty, providing the ultimate skincare and makeup guide for women in their forties and beyond from celebrity makeup artist Riku Campo.

I Am Beauty includes step-by-step tutorials, advice from skincare experts, and Riku’s best behind-the-chair tips every woman needs to revitalize her routine, including:

Riku also has one-on-one conversations and day-and-night makeovers with sixteen incredible women—each with her own unique style—and shares their secrets for finding beauty in all parts of life.
Comprehensive, practical, and inspiring, packed with more than 100 full-color photos, I Am Beauty is the ultimate resource for women to maintain their glow and live their most joyful, beautiful lives.

My Thoughts
While I rarely read books of this type, the cover and title called out to me. Would it be information that was only for the rich and famous? Full of product suggestions that typical woman wouldn’t have the funds or time to deal with?
I had to find out.
And what I discovered certainly pleased me. The book was full of information. Not products. Some topics interested me more than others. But all of it was fascinating and informative.
If you can’t tell, I was very very pleased with what I discovered.
The book was full of illustrations and color pictures that were extremely helpful. The chapters included such things as:
- Skincare
- Eyebrows
- Lips
- Eyewear
- Minimalist
- Natural Beauty, and much more
I Am Beauty is a beautiful book that you won’t be sorry you purchased. The pages are gorgeous and crammed with information in an easy-to-read format. I loved learning how to make my lipstick last longer and choosing a color.
I highly recommend this to anyone looking for clear instructions and tips.
Many thanks to the publisher and TLC Book Tours for a gift copy, all opinions are mine.
