I love this book as resource and a roadmap and I think you will too. Lois and Sandy have figured out what it takes to face the world.’ – Bette Midler
Most of us discover the miraculous benefits of makeup in our teens. But twenty, thirty, forty years later you begin to face the fact that the face you’ve known has changed. That’s when you know it’s time for a Makeup Wakeup! Beauty experts Lois Joy Johnson and Sandy Linter say it’s time to quit fooling around and learn what will work for you now. They’ve long been in the business of making models, actresses and women from all walks of life look drop-dead gorgeous. Within these pages are some iconic names in the worlds of modelling and entertainment. But unlike other makeup books, this is not a glossy album or a rehash of beauty dos and don’ts. Makeup Wakeup is the beauty book you’ll want to tell your friends about; the one you’ll keep next to your makeup mirror and actually use for reference.

Review
Ajoke Kokodoko, Oakland P.L., "Library Journal Express" 3/25/11
"In a youth-obsessed culture, aging can be difficult. But celebrity makeup artists Johnson and Linter provide an age-defying beauty guide that enables women to minimize flaws and maximize their beauty. Unlike most beauty books, this resource focuses on the concerns of women entering middle age and beyond, such as sun damage, hormonal acne, sagging skin, fine lines, and thinning hair. Readers are given step-by-step makeup techniques and advice on how to deal with the inevitable changes and look their best. Celebrities and models also speak candidly about their beauty secrets and regimes. Included are color photos of actress Sigourney Weaver, singer Debbie Harry, and models Veronica Webb, Carol Alt, and Cheryl Tiegs, among others. The shots of models with and without makeup illustrate the differences correct techniques can make. For those considering cosmetic procedures, a team of medical experts discuss pros, cons, and alternatives.
Verdict: This book takes the fear out of getting older. The authors thoroughly cover what women can do to look good as they age. A highly recommended reference readers will turn to time and again."

Elizabeth Hurley recommended this so I thought I'd see what all the fuss is about. Good read and picked up a few tips here on make up - but my make up now takes three times as long to apply and I just don't have time. Tips aren't great if you're always in a rush like me

changed my life!

I'm 74 and havn't really bothered with eye make up for the last several years; a little foundation, some blush and lip gloss;
that was it...until I read " The Makeup Wakeup". I was inspired and bought some of their recommendations, sat down and started
playing, following the very easy to understand visual directions. Suddenly, I looked so much younger and, I might add, so much
prettier! I can't believe it! My eyes really sparkle, my brows are now brushed and filled in and I've thrown away all the old makeup
that had been sitting in my drawer for the last ten years. I'm even using a soft colored lip pencil which defines the shape of my
mouth. This book is FABULOUS!!!! Thank you Lois and Sandy, you've changed my life. P.S. My husband keeps telling me how
lovely I look.

Valuable Info for Older Women

i found many important and easy suggestions throughout this book. The authors understand our issues and provide meaningful advice to help us aging ladies look our best. I have enough makeup items to follow their makeup steps - and I'm thrilled with my updated, improved look.
I look forward to adding some new cosmetics and tools based on the chapter suggestions and my makeup kit's deficiencies. Surprisingly, I found that my fav makeup items were included in the authors' recommendations, so I was already "onto" some key makeup items that work well for aging skin and faces! Now that I know so much more about which processes, products and tools will likely yield a favorable result, I'll shop more confidently at the higher-priced makeup counters... I may even save money because I can more easily avoid buying the items that are aging and/or dated.
Kudos to the authors! And many thank yous to you both for affirming and inspiring this lady who has accepted her reality that she'll never look 25 again!

Finally a beauty book for REAL women!
23 Mar 2011
By Ageless Beauty

Format:Paperback
The Makeup Wakeup is possibly the best beauty book I've ever read. No other beauty book has lessons, and information like this one! The eye makeup chapter really explains how to do your eyes with professional results. The cosmetic surgery chapter is the first of its kind I've seen to offer inside secrets and options for REAL women. Simply amazing!!!
