I trust her completely’Marian Keyes‘Obey Sali. She writes about beauty with love, authority and honesty. ‘Britain's best beauty writer … This book is equal parts sass, sense, lipstick and laughs’Lauren Laverne‘If it's on my face, it's because Sali recommended it.’Caitlin Moran‘Sali is a total joy to read. She knows her stuff’ India Knight‘Sali decodes beauty for any woman with smart, simple and practical advice’ Bobbi Brown
A witty, wise and truthful beauty handbook for real women on what works in real life from Sali Hughes, beloved journalist and broadcaster.“Pour yourself a drink, put on some lipstick and pull yourself together” Elizabeth TaylorBeauty books. Exquisite coffee-table affairs featuring improbably beautiful models with wholly-unachievable-to-most women looks, product review-heavy volumes which become almost instantly outdated, or tracts of holistic mumbo jumbo, like how to make an unproven face pack from organic molasses and rough-hewn porridge oats.Not anymore.In Pretty Honest, Sali Hughes draws on over 20 years of wisdom, advice and expertise to show real women how to make the most of makeup’s physically and emotionally transformative powers. Covering everything from teenage skin to mature beauty, botox to bridal make-up, sickness to good health, it's a work that is part instruction manual, part love letter to makeup – in a writing style that combines beauty editor, feminist and painfully funny best friend.
Sali Hughes is a leading broadcaster and journalist with over 15 years experience, who draws on her experience as a makeup artist to George Michael, The Pet Shop Boys and Belinda Carlisle.
"then you'll have found your best friend in Miss Hughes" according to MizzHK. Sali Hughes may come off as prim and proper, but her writing is imbued with dark, sardonic wit. It's not difficult to spot, and you can tell each word, piece of advice, and product endorsement comes from an authentic place.When or if you're obsessed with cosmetics and parfums, then you'll have found your best friend in Miss Hughes.The book covers EVERYTHING related to beauty and wellness.. one of the best beauty books out there Lucia This book contains a lot of information. It is a nice read to both people who are starting with beauty and beauty experts. Sally knows what she writes and I couldnt agree more with her opinion about beauty. It is easy to read and not at all boring. I would highly recommend.. "Great Quick Read" according to Beth. I enjoyed reading this book and the fact that it was straight forward. While I did disagree with a few things she mentioned overall I did enjoy the information she provided. I fell though that if you know a lot about skin care or can do your own research then this book is not for you. However, if you are just starting out and want to really understand what you need to do then this book is a great place to start but remember your skin and its needs might be different than what she suggests or anyone suggests. Only you know
