A stylish and informative guide to beauty from the golden age of Hollywood glamour, Vintage Secrets: Hollywood Beauty teaches readers how to recreate a wide variety of iconic looks from the pencil-thin, arched eyebrows and kohl-rimmed eyes made famous by silent-film starlet Clara Bow to Rita Hayworth’s luxuriant locks and Marilyn Monroe’s blonde all over’ glow. Inside, you’ll find a wealth of tips and tricks used by icons of the silver screen and learn just how far some of them were prepared to go to obtain their famous looks. Packed with instructions, illustrations, and classic photographs, as well as timeless advice from fashion figureheads such as legendary Vogue editor Diana Vreeland and iconic designer Coco Chanel, Vintage Secrets: Hollywood Beauty is the go-to beauty guide for film fans and fashionistas alike. Review: Nostalgic and entertaining - This is a charming look at days gone by, made up of spliced together beauty magazine articles from years ago. No beauty tip stands out as too outrageous from today’s viewpoint, but I always laugh at eggs and food ingredients used as hair masks. They are a huge mess and don’t do anything, a total waste. Olive oil? Have fun getting it out! This book is nostalgic and reminds me how an earlier, more innocent generation talked. Review: Very interesting to read - Very interesting to read. I've tried some of the secrets and for the most part they worked.

Incredilbe book, wished they did more on women of color from the past
This was a very informative book on the beauty secrets of Old Hollywood. i just wished they did delve into women of color from the past and their practices such as Dorothy Dandridge, Lena Horne, Dolores Del Rio, Anna May Wong, etc. And the book was very limiting in only addressing a certain hair type and skin complexion.

piacevole lettura
È un ottimo modo per trascorrere il tempo e rispolverare l'inglese. Ci sono degli ottimi consigli di make up. Poi è pieno di foto patinate di dive del passato. È piacevole la lettura ,unico neo poco considerate alcune attrici come Grace Kelly, vivien Leigh, Liz Taylor esaltate invece altre, visto che parla delle donne dalla bellezza assoluta. Per il resto va bene.

O livro é muito interessante e bem completo no quesito beleza, a leitura é fluida. Tem um pouco do contexto histórico, teoria de visagismo, e as dicas das atrizes da Era de Ouro são valiosíssimas. A curadoria das imagens é um espetáculo a parte, as atrizes belíssimas, assim como os recortes das propagandas dos produtos. A autora poderia lançar sobre outros assuntos como perfume, roupas, acessórios que eu compraria facilmente!

Needs more women of colour
This book is very informative and glamourous! Its only fault is that it does not have a lot of women of colour golden age stars … would of been nice to add Dorothy Dandridge, Eartha Kitt , Josephine baker , Anna May Wong, Dolores del Rio etc…. These women made a huge contribution to golden age glamour as well
