I Am Beauty: Timeless Skincare and Beauty for Women 40 and Over

by Riku Campo

Overview

A groundbreaking celebration of ageless beauty, providing the ultimate skincare and makeup guide for women in their forties and beyond from celebrity makeup artist Riku Campo.

The first makeup guide to celebrate and support women forty and over, I Am Beauty is Riku Campo’s labor of love. Riku has worked with some of the most beautiful and recognized faces in the world, like Cindy Crawford, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Anne Hathaway. But he has always wanted to create a book honoring those women we don’t always see on the runaways and in magazines—women like his mother, whose beauty is everlasting. 

I Am Beauty includes step-by-step tutorials, advice from skincare experts, and Riku’s best behind-the-chair tips every woman needs to revitalize her routine, including:

• Day and night skincare routines that keep you fresh and beautiful, whether you’re in your forties, fifties, sixties, or beyond 
• At-home facial massages to stimulate collagen production and optimal skin health
• Must-have everyday makeup tools
• Choosing the right foundation for all skin tones, types, and textures
• Tricks for modern, elegant eyebrows and keeping lipstick fresh all day
• Eyeshadow colors and types that work best on mature skin
• Finding the eyeglass designs that best complement your style and daily makeup

Riku also has one-on-one conversations and day-and-night makeovers with sixteen incredible women—each with her own unique style—and shares their secrets for finding beauty in all parts of life. 

Comprehensive, practical, and inspiring, packed with more than 100 full-color photos, I Am Beauty is the ultimate resource for women to maintain their glow and live their most joyful, beautiful lives.
