Title: Beautiful book -- would love to see more!
Review: I agree with chicagojess' comment that the book doesn't really address beauty issues faced by women of color. Berg does include photos and some models of color, which I applaud, but as an Asian-American woman, I felt that the issues brought up for Asian-Americans were very generalized, as if everyone of a certain race would have the same coloring/hair texture, etc, etc. The one makeover that featured an Asian woman had her with stick-straight jet black hair and powder blue eyeshadow--not very useful for everyday wear. It would be nice if there were a special chapter dealing with women of color.But all in all, I really enjoyed reading this book. The layout is wonderful, the book is stuffed with good information, and it's easy and fun to read. It's great that Berg tries to cover all age groups as well. I would love to see her publish a beauty book that just deals with young women in their 20s -- of all faces and colors.
