CHRISTOPHER - DO I REALLY NEED TO CUT MY HAIR? May 16, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Being a woman with long hair, the first thing I wanted to know was Christopher's opinion on the subject. My hair looks wavy and smooth when it is long, but the shorter it gets the wilder it gets. Some of it is curly, some straighter, and its overall curliness changes depending on the weather, how much it has been brushed, the moon phase, etc. - you get the idea... so maybe when I'm 90 I'll feel I just have to have it shorter (unless I still look 30 - unlikely). What I learned from Christopher is that some women can get away with longer hair provided it's not thin, straggly, or gray, and their face does not look old. In fact, he says and shows, "long hair on an older face looks insecure, not confident, and not sexy." But if your face looks young and your hair is full, healthy, and young-looking, he won't twist your arm to cut it - am I representing you accurately on the subject?
Anyway, the book is not just about hair - it is a complete holistic approach to looking and feeling fabulous. The book is full of valuable insights that you can learn and apply to your hair, makeup, and clothing such as "the five fundamentals are line, proportion, color, texture, and accent," and "Looking beautiful is an art, particularly as you age." Christopher does not try to force you to conform to just one look - you don't need to worry about a one-size-fits-all approach. The book's advice is tailored to the look that best suits your Image Profile - classic, casual, romantic, dramatic, alluring, or innovative. The book will tell you how to choose the best clothes for you, how to select and apply makeup that will make you look best, and of course, how to do your hair.
What makes the book even more special is that woven through its practical advice is an underlying theme of self-discovery and personal growth, which comes from a combination of enhancing the inside as well as the outside.
Christopher, congratulations on the wonderfully successful career you are having! You are making women feel good about themselves - it is a wonderful gift you give, inspiring women to "stage a comeback" and giving them the tools they need to make it happen. A great book - highly recommended! Debra Lawrence, author of THE 3:00 PM SECRET: Live Slim and Strong, Live Your Dreams. P. S. Are they talking behind my back about the hair?
It's an INSPIRATION! May 13, 2008

Let me begin by stating that I usually hate beauty books. They seem to capitalize on the fact that 99.9% of the women in the world do not look like the coat-hangers who appear on fashion runways -- and hate themselves for it. Readers frequently come away more depressed than energized.
I don't want to be a coat-hanger, I'll never be 16 years old again, and I don't believe Voge will be calling me any time soon to be immortalized on its vacuous pages.
However, I am over 40 and I'm a real woman who doesn't always want to look like I'm fresh from a trip to the laundromat.
There is light at the end of this tunnel, and his name is Christopher Hopkins! If you want to look like a fresher, more vibrant you, I highly recommend that you get Staging Your Comeback -- and let the miracles begin.

I loved the book! It is informative as well as inspirational. The message (that we deserve to be the best we can be) and the makeovers are incredible.
All of the info is delivered with grace, style and a bit of dry humor. It is absolutely perfect!!!

Great Resource! May 8, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is a great resource for women over 45 who wants to find the right look, but is having trouble finding what exactly that is. What looked good when they were younger may no longer fit them in their middle years. Author Christopher Hopkins (known as the "Makeover Guy") shows women how to look great by using techniques they can actually do themselves. This book covers everything from body types and shapes, clothing, make-up to hairstyles. It's all here in one volume! The graphics are great so you can visualize the author's tips.
I highly recommend this for women in mid-life.

I loved this book. I was a natural look girl all my life and that's fine when you're young, fit and trim. I felt like a clown with makeup so I never bothered to learn to apply it correctly. As I moved into my forties I tried it a few times but hated it and finally decided that men look great with bare faces and character lines so that would work for me as well. I am who I am, right? Now at 47 I've finally accepted that I need a little help. This book was just I needed. I've learned enough about style and makeup in these past few days to make a real and positive difference in my appearance and self image.
My only complaint is that I wish there was more detailed information about makeup products and their application.
