Looking good is just a book away

I’m more hung up on not looking old than not looking my age.

I know plenty of women who are many years older than I am and they look youthful, current and modern. They update their makeup often, embrace stylish hairstyles and build their wardrobe around classics that are, well, timeless. Then they add to the mix a  trendy bag or pair of shoes. They look great.

It’s not about botox or lipo or plastic surgery. It’s about paying attention to the details. (Isn’t that the way it is in mos things?)

Such thinking seems to have spilled its way into a couple of new books. Charla Krupp’s “How Not to Look Old: Fast and Effortless Ways to Look 10 Years Yonger, 10 Pounds Lighter, 10 Times Better” is a must-read for women over 35.  We all can benefit from her reminders — Shaped and clean eyebrows can be an instant facelift. Dark lipstick is aging. Amen, sister.

Then there’s Christopher Hopkins’ new book, “Staging Your Comeback.”  He wants to help women who are in the 40s rediscover fashion and beauty that helps them look their best.

I haven’t read his book, but I could probably benefit. Read an excerpt –http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25479026/
