Have you picked up The Makeup Wakeup yet? I told you a few months back that I got a sneak peek of the book by Sandy Linter and Lois Joy Johnson after I ran into Sandy Linter on my flight back from the Redbook MVP testing in NYC. But, I didn’t get my actual hands on MY own book till a few days ago – and I haven’t been able to put it down since!
It’s like having your own personal celebrity makeup artist at your fingertips.
This is a fabulous book on makeup for women over 40! Let’s face it, most all beauty books available are for women in their 20′s or maybe 30′s, but we have different beauty needs than when we were that young. This book gives you tips on what you can do to look fresher, younger without surgery and they also consult two top dermatologists and a cosmetic surgeon for those seeking those options.
You get close-up detailed photos of how to create a look, what tools you need and you are even given a list of specific beauty brands and shades recommended by Sandy. Things are tackled like dark circles, how doing your makeup the same way you did even a few years ago can age you, how to camouflage nasolabial folds or thin lips and so much more. Things that you would never hear a 20 year old worrying about. Women over 40 we’ll claim this as OURS!
Being Sandy is Lancome’s “Beauty at Every Age Expert”, Lancome has given me a copy of the book to giveaway to one lucky reader! Here’s how you can win:
Good luck!

I received a copy of the new beauty book Makeup for Ageless Beauty, written for women over 40 by makeup artist Linda Mason.
Linda has a makeup studio in NYC called The Art of Beauty by Linda Mason and over the years has worked with many top celebrities and models such as Brooke Shields, Paulina Porizkova and Anne Bezamat, Carol Alt and more.
In this book, Linda touches briefly on preparing your skin – from sleep, food and exercise to creating a perfect canvas with concealer and foundation. Then she gets into further details of how to create colorful looks.
There are 40 looks on women of all ages and colors featured along with the details of how she created the makeup looks on these women. Diagrams with product colors and placement work to help you create the looks at home.
Clearly Linda is not afraid of color, and she does not want us to be afraid either. Just because a woman is over 40 doesn’t mean she can’t wear color on her face. In fact, she embraces it. Just look at the lovely Carol Alt on the cover and how she used color on her. Not all the women in the book are models either, so you don’t see only women with perfect, flawless, airbrushed skin. She shows us how to work with what we have to enhance and make our lives a little more colorful.

See the hot African-American hairstyles transformation three Total Beauty readers got (and the major confidence boost that came with them). As a society, we’re constantly bombarded with images of celebrities peering out at us from everywhere, TV, magazines, websites — they’re all over the place. And, as women, celeb looks often inspire us to change our clothes, makeup or hairstyle. Three such women recently channeled their inner A-lister by letting their favorite celebrity serve as the inspiration for a Total Beauty makeover.
