It is an honor to be featured in this book. I was waiting anxiously to receive my first copy. I must say, questions that Carlota asked me during an interview were so enlightening and made me stop and think, brought my inner subconscious believes out, it was very touching and full of self discovery. But!
After reading it cover to cover I feel that my perspective on beauty got even more emphasized and I must say.. it is truly of a huge importance that we realize that beauty lies Within us. Incredible job on capturing every each aspect of being and feeling beautiful.. thank you Carlota!

This book is AMAZING. It offers such a fascinating perspective on what it means to be beautiful, what changes are occurring in the beauty industry, and how different people perceive beauty around the world. As someone who wasn't very knowledgable about the beauty industry before reading this book, I can truly say that it is the perfect book for all audiences- from beauty industry experts to interested consumers! It's a great read over the holiday season and would make a fantastic gift.

Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2020
This exciting book reflects changing trends in the beauty industry. Top professionals chronicle society’s new inclusive views of beauty that reflect a societal awakening. The author has interviewed beauty leaders to paint a comprehensive picture of the field as it exists today. Rodriguez-Benito explores a diverse cross-section of cultures and generations in her presentation. The core message offered in the book is that physical beauty expresses inner radiance. The book is an interesting and inspiring read.

Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2020
As someone who has worked in the beauty industry and also a self professed product junkie, I appreciated this book and how it illustrated that beauty is more than skin deep. The industry and messaging is definitely shifting from just being about a pretty face to being about lifestyle and feelings. The intention is clear - to encourage the reader that "feeling beautiful" actually makes you beautiful. Five stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars exploration of cultural and social beauty
Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2020
This is an interesting and informative read that chronicles changing attitudes in the beauty industry. I liked how this book took a very broad perspective to explore cultural and social aspects of beauty, both internal and external. Each chapter stands well on its own, so you can jump around to whichever topic interest you at the moment without losing anything. Worth a read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice read!
Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2020
It is a very nice book to read and reflect on with a glass of wine on a summer evening.
I loved that every chapter is a separate story, thus it makes the book more entertaining, less 'lecture-style'. It does provide a lot of valuable information, stories, and material to think about at the same time

5.0 out of 5 stars Self Love
Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2020
A positive book that promotes having a love for your natural beauty. One, of many favorite quotes from this book, "People in Hollywood were not paying attention to the features in their faces that are already beautiful". Each chapter stands on its own and there is likely something in there for everyone.
