Tyra's Beauty Inside & Out

by Tyra Banks and Vanessa Thomas Bush

Book Overview

Some of you may look at me and think, That girl's never had an insecure day in her life. Well, I think my experiences will prove that you can't always judge a book by its cover (not even this one). I've struggled with chronic warts, poor body image and one too many broken hearts on the road to supermodel status. And I know all about pressure we're put under to be perfect. That's why I wrote this book. Between the life lessons I've learned and the...

Customer Reviews

fun to read

I really enjoyed reading this book. It's more than just looking good. Yes, there is a ton of information on skin care, makeup, body care, etc, but Ms. Banks also includes self-esteem, sex, generosity, self-respect, smoking, alcohol, and more. I expected a more frivolous book from a supermodel, but this is real quality. Tyra seems like someone you would know. She has such a friendly, sweet attitude reflected in her writing and is so humble. This book is filled with pictures, lots of color, and is fun to read. Great book!

Must Have for All Teens!

This book covers everything from pre-teen awkwardness to dating responsibly. Tyra has done an excellent job not only talking the talk but walking the walk! This book should be released and for all to enjoy.

Tyra, you are definitely the best!!!

There are lots of models in this world all with beautiful and distinctful looks, but the same personality. A typical model might act like she's all too good for herself---like an ordinary person is below her...that's posh!!! Tyra...there's something different about her. She shows the world who she really is---not being afraid of what other people might think of her. I'm an aspiring model and I take modeling very seriously as other models might and I too, also have a reputation to keep as other models might. But I don't act like I'm shy and quiet most of the time when I'm really not---I'm myself. I don't try to act a certain character to fit other people's bill. Tyra Banks is my #1 role model aside from God and my parents. She proved to me with this book that she's very different from your typical model. In this book, she revealed her true self and encourages other to do the same. I'm not saying that all models in the world are the same; I'm very positive some are different. Models are not only models for clothing ads, magazines, billboards, etc.; but they're also models to set a good example for other people---young, old, middle age. Tyra is a perfect example and trust me, you will LOVE her book. If you don't have it already, GO GET IT! ENJOY!!!

Become drop-dead gorgeous, beyond your wildest dreams!

Tyra Banks, with Vanessa Thomas Bush, has written the perfect beauty guide for every woman. Full of beautiful pictures, information and helpful tips, Tyra has included just about everything a woman should know about being her best - "Inside & Out". From cosmetics, fashion, diet and exercise to smoking, condoms and rape to love, sex and self-esteem. I'm overwhelmed with how complete this book is. She even included a [frightful] picture of just how cosmetically imperfect even she can be. But with the right techniques, as illustrated in this book, anyone can become as beautiful as the supermodels.As a beauty photographer, I have learned many new ideas from this book that I will share with the models with whom I work. I bought several copies as gifts, and to keep at the studio.The book is easy to read, has lots of pictures along the way, and it contains some of the best beauty tips I've seen. It's an invaluable reference, and I give it my highest possible recommendation. By reading this review, you've indicated that you're looking to be your best. This book will help you to bring out the beautiful, magnificent woman you want to be.Good Luck

Love Tyra? -then check out her awesome book! ****

This is a perfect book for any teenager girl and deserves a four out of four star **** review. A makeup tip book and a lot more, supermodel Tyra Bank's book gives insight to what it's like to be a supermodel, as well as illustrates her unique, down-to-earth, fun-loving personailty. Chock full of pictures and tidbits of information, this book is garunteed to keep a teenage girl entertained. (Hey, I am one! Plus all my friends are borrowing it now) There is even a picture of Tyra WITHOUT any makeup or airbrushing, and then a picture WITHairbrushing and makeup. (A pretty daring move for a supermodel) The difference is amazing and shows that yes, Tyra is beautiful, and yes, even supermodels have imperfections.
