The 'Be Beautiful' book is written by award winning beauty journalist Alice Hart-Davis with her teenage daughter Molly Hinghaugh & is a practical comprehensive guide to the essentials of skincare, hair and make-up for teenage girls. The book provides a unique mother and daughter perspective on the tricky questions of looks and how to make the most of them while offering a helping hand through the minefield of often inappropriate beauty advice that besets today's teens!
As Alice says herself on the book - "Sooner or later every girl reaches an age where she starts asking questions about her skin, her hair and her looks. When my daughter Molly started asking me about everything from moisturisers to mascara and whether she should shave her legs, it wasn’t too hard to give her answers. My job is writing about beauty and health, and over the years, I have worked out what works best.One question led to another: how to deal with spots, how to blow-dry hair, how to choose the right things to eat... When we put them all together, this book began to emerge. Be Beautiful is about getting to grips with the basics of skincare and discovering the fun of make-up.It’s also about learning to do all this in a way that isn’t going to cost the earth – and that’s not too grown-up."
The book is beautifully illustrated throughout with full colour photographs of Molly & her friends trying out home-made face masks to learning how to perfect smokey eyes, the book also contains tips on hair styling, skincare to spots, make up & even throwing a spa party at home! Definitely every young girl's dream book!
