Masters Way to Beauty By George Masters [first edition]

Some women think nothing of paying one hundred fifty dollars for a new dress but without the face and hair to go with it, they might as well leave the dress in a closet. For the same one hundred fifty dollars thousands of women have taken my twenty-minute cram course in how to do their own beauty makeover jobs. My aim has always been simply this--to make you look as attractive as possible without drawing attention to any one feature, to make you beautiful without making it obvious that you've tried. I believe if someone tells you your hairdo looks great that's and insult. Undo it. When I do you, they don't say you hair looks great or your makeup looks great. They say YOU look great. This book was inspired by all those lovely faces in the kaleidoscope of my makeup mirror through the years, the faces that seemed to come alive with a special glow and a smile. It was inspired by the memory of Marilyn Monroes's face gazing earnestly in to her mirror and saying wistfully, "Please, George, make me look beautiful," echoing the plaintive secret wish of all women; by the slow, incredulous smile that came over Ann-Margret's face as she said to me in her small, whispery voice, "But George, you've made it look normal again", meaning the side of her face that was crushed from her accident; by the women who have looked at their new faces in the mirror and said, always in tones of surprise, "But it makes me feel better, too"; and mostly by all those women who have urged and nagged me to put down how I do it in writing so they can copy it and do the same thing for themselves.
