Pretty Honest

A witty, wise and truthful beauty handbook for real women on what works in real life from Sali Hughes, beloved journalist and broadcaster.

“Pour yourself a drink, put on some lipstick and pull yourself together” Elizabeth Taylor

Beauty books. Exquisite coffee-table affairs featuring improbably beautiful models with wholly-unachievable-to-most women looks, product review-heavy volumes which become almost instantly outdated, or tracts of holistic mumbo jumbo, like how to make an unproven face pack from organic molasses and rough-hewn porridge oats.

Not anymore.

In Pretty Honest, Sali Hughes draws on over 20 years of wisdom, advice and expertise to show real women how to make the most of makeup’s physically and emotionally transformative powers. Covering everything from teenage skin to mature beauty, botox to bridal make-up, sickness to good health, it's a work that is part instruction manual, part love letter to makeup – in a writing style that combines beauty editor, feminist and painfully funny best friend.

Un manual de frumusete intelept, intelept si adevarat pentru femei adevarate despre ceea ce functioneaza in viata reala de la Sali Hughes, iubit jurnalist si difuzator. „Turnati-va o bautura, puneti-va niste ruj si trageti-va impreuna” Elizabeth TaylorBeauty books. Afaceri rafinate de masa de cafea, cu modele incredibil de frumoase, cu aspect total imposibil de realizat pentru majoritatea femeilor, volum mare de recenzie a produselor, care devin aproape instantanee, sau zone de mumbo jumbo holistic, cum ar fi cum sa faci un pachet de fata nedovedit din melasa organica si ovaz de terci taiat dur. Nu mai este. In Pretty Honest, Sali Hughes se bazeaza pe peste 20 de ani de intelepciune, sfaturi si expertiza pentru a le arata femeilor reale cum sa profite la maximum de puterile transformatoare fizic si emotional ale machiajului.
