in paring down their silhouettes or trimming away the years with
clever illusions will find a wealth of tips and tricks."

Tips for looking thinner, younger, more confident!
After the holidays everyone is trying to get back in shape,
and there's no better start than Lynda Millner's fast amd easy
steps to looking good. Why wait to look your best while you're
fighting those extra pounds? Lynda Millner will show you how
to look and feel terrific at her upcoming booksigning and magic
makeover event at Barnes & Noble on January 10 at 2 p.m.
As you watch, Millner will take willing audience participants
and tranform them into their best-looking selves. Perhaps you'd
like to be the next volunteer to make the transformation?
The Magic Makeover by Lynda Millner, model, makeup
artist, and image wizard extraordinaire, begins with Ms. Millner's
wish to transform the ex-first lady, Barbara Bush, from the stocky
matron she presents herself as, to the regal lady she is. Millner
says the famous choker of pearls Mrs. Bush wears to hide neck
wrinkles only makes her large frame and thick neck look even
thicker. We're clued in to the news that a long rope of pearls
would make her look thinner-instantly. Also noted is Mrs. Bush's
love of print dresses and suits with pleated skirts that make
her look more like a sofa than a former first lady. Millner suggests
ditching all double-breasted outfits and switching to single-breasted,
with just a hint of fitting at the waist to give shape.
Millner doesn't just console the average, less-than-perfect
woman; she goes right to the wide hips of the matter-imperfections-and
lets us in on beauty and image enhancing techniques which will
knock the word "average" out of closets and vocabularies
forever.
In the first chapter alone we learn-and quickly!-ten steps
each to looking thinner, younger, and more confident, instantly.
From image management to makeup magic to accessorizing, The
Magic Makeover is a non-threatening how-to book for women
who want to change the way they feel about their bodies and their
appearance. This is the book that shows a woman how to
look and feel her best.

The Magic Makeover shows quickly and clearly how to evaluate
your personal image, body type, lifestyle and fashion style.

evaluating your body and image potential has never been so easy.
