Beyond Beauty is the first book to give girls under 20 what they really want - tons of advice and insights on the issues that most fascinate them: beauty, style, health, fitness, fame, and the role that these concerns should play in their lives.25 teens, all notable in such areas as film, sports, science, fashion, dance, theater, and music, reveal to Jane Pratt how issues of physical appearance have affected them: how their experiences, accomplishments, and pressure from friends, family, and skinny girls in glossy magazines have shaped their impressions of what it means to be beautiful.The girls also share makeup tips, their favorite never-leave-home-without-it items, their least favorite physical features, what they love about their jobs (like kissing Brad Pitt) and what they don't love about them (like never getting to see friends), and where they hang out. Jane's own makeup and hairstyling gurus provide beauty techniques and tips especially tailored to girls under 20.
