Paul Starr on Beauty: Conversations with Thirty Celebrated Women
Author: Paul Starr
Paul Starr on Women and Beauty pairs original and revealing interviews with stunning photographs of Starr's makeup on thirty of today's most distinctive sirens. Starr's subjects-including Cameron Diaz, Iman, Jennifer Garner, Diane Lane, Salma Hayek, Michelle Pfeiffer, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Renee Zellweger-represent varied ages, ethnicities, and professions. The women speak candidly about their views on beauty and makeup; the dazzling photographs reveal how Starr's technique brings out his subjects' inner beauty; and comments from Starr explain how each look was created. A separate how-to section provides readers with step-by-step instructions on how they can use Starr's techniques to achieve the featured looks for themselves.
Paul Starr on Women and Beauty will set a new standard for books on beauty. It is the first book to show that using makeup successfully not only creates outer transformation, but that it can also reflect the beauty of a woman's spirit. A foreword by Linda Wells, editor in chief of Allure, completes the book.
