About Staging Your Comeback: A Complete Beauty Revival
Product Description Christopher Hopkins first became known as “The Makeover Guy” during his two appearances in Oprah’s over-50 makeover shows. Since then, he has dedicated his talents and passion for fashion, makeup, and hair care to this booming audience of women. In Staging Your Comeback, Hopkins champions women over 45, teaching them how to command attention by looking and feeling great. With compassion and brutal honesty, Hopkins tackles and rectifies problems that women face as they age. Hopkins’s simple tips and tricks help women create their own self-expression and turnaround common mistakes they make in fashion and hair and skin care. Some topics include: Gray or nay? Your ideal hair color Working with over-40 skin Discover your image profile Second-act ground rules Your ideal silhouette When symmetry goes south Myths and misconceptions Long hair in act two: Does it work? Managing curl What you need to know about undergarments Fads, trends, and classics From Publishers Weekly Hopkins, known as The Makeover Guy, explains fashion dos, don'ts and oh-no-she-didn'ts for women in the second act of their lives. A quiz helps the reader identify which of six Image Profiles suits her tastes (Casual, Romantic, Innovative, etc.); clothes, hair and makeup tips follow accordingly. Hopkins is encouraging and helpful: he does not simply tell women to clean their closets of any unsuitable clothes. He provides a checklist of what you'll need, a 10-step to-do list and a questionnaire to determine which clothes to keep and which to toss. Benefiting from this book requires a certain amount of dedication—this is no quick-fix beauty mag article. There is even a revival guide journal in the back where readers can mark down outfits that worked or didn't work, collect contact information on their personal beauty team and keep track of daily, weekly and monthly beauty tasks. Hopkins's constant self-marketing can get annoying: irrelevant photos of himself litter the pages, and he wastes space touting his fashion victories over difficult clients. But his appearances on Oprah, the book's attention to detail and some astounding before-and-after photos attest to Hopkins's expertise.

It really is." - Kathy Lee Gifford "You really did a great job!" - Hoda Kotb, --The Today Show From the Author I'll never forget Oprah Winfrey's reaction to my makeovers on her show. "Amazing! Amazing!" she repeated. "Fantastic, just fantastic!" she replied again. You can pretty much say you've been validated when Oprah has praised your work. Though visibly impressed with the makeovers, Oprah asked the question on many women's minds. She asked, "Christopher, how do you help these women hold on to their new look?" At the time I really didn't have a good answer, so I said, "You just have to maintain it. Life is maintenance. It's a daily thing." Not the brightest comeback, but it got me thinking. How can I help these women do it themselves, and maintain it? Though it took years to develop this system, and what seems like even longer to get it to the public it was worth every angst ridden minute when I hear how it has improved people's lives. Women all over the world have told me what a difference the book has made in their lives and for that I am completely and forever humbled. Truly. Here are a few: Dear Christopher I'm 64 yrs. old and this has come at a perfect time for me. I'm trying to lose weight that I have recently gained due to the passing of my fraternal twin sister. Your information is wonderful and I'm learning things about myself that I didn't know before. Your various quizzes and your sections to write things down is a great idea. The affirmations and the tactful way you give us stern advice is great. It is like you are right in our homes and giving us a one on one consultation. Thanks so much for this won
