Get Positively Beautiful

Get Positively Beautiful is my manifesto. It’s the philosophy I have believed in my heart for years and this book is my opportunity to sing it to the mountaintops. The process of writing it was pure joy because I could envision women everywhere starting to liberate themselves from the constraints of self-hatred and insecurity. Knowing I had the chance to change women’s lives and allow them to celebrate their unique beauty was so exciting that the book practically wrote itself.

Most women I meet on What Not To Wear, on photo shoots or touring the country with my product line all seem to be suffering from the same flaw focus and the compare and despair game. When writing this book I was able to give them the tools to change the way they see themselves and learn fun easy tips on how to play up there fabulous faces with makeup. Makeup for me has always been a wonderful way to enhance your natural beauty, not change it to fit some unrealistic standard. I was able to interview and shoot 12 real women for this book and to hear their unique stories on how they grew up and dealt with their own beauty issues. What I learned was incredible and the best part was when given the opportunity to shine these women did! All they needed was permission and their confidence went through the roof!

I know this book will reach women of all ages and backgrounds and the beauty revolution will then begin. Women everywhere will start to celebrate themselves, spread contagious compliments to others and insecurities over looks will evaporate. I am proud of this book and even prouder of the women who embrace their looks and live life free from the ridiculous self imposed insecurities ravishing American women.
