Product Description
From School Library Journal
YA-A successful model tells all in this readable self-help book. By sharing the beauty secrets she has learned from experts, Banks gives practical advice on skin care, cosmetics, hair, exercise, and fashion. She also addresses serious subjects such as substance abuse, romantic relationships, sexual concerns, and being a complete person. Jammed with full-color photographs and a variety of page layouts and type fonts, this glitzy book looks like a popular magazine (without the advertisements) just begging teenagers to pick it up. Interest is maintained through the breezy writing style that includes phrases such as, "I thought I was so smart...," diary entries, funny family stories, and before-and-after photographs. Since most of the photos are of Banks, one might be tempted to say that the book is aimed at African-American young women, but there are tons of hints and useful information for those of any racial or ethnic background. A wonderful choice for today's beauty-seeking teens.

Very Good!!,
By Ms Berry-Jolie "Jude" (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tyra's Beauty Inside & Out (Paperback)
As soon as I received Tyra's book, I was amazed by how blunt Tyras is and how she tells a lot of tips in it even though bit was written in 1998. I did had high expectations about this book and I'm SO not deceive!!Very Good choice!!

Model Beauty,

This review is from: Tyra's Beauty Inside & Out (Paperback)
As a model myself, I found Tyra's book to be informative and fun at the same time. I suggest it to all women, especially young girls just getting into the "make-up scene".

Tyra, you are definitely the best!!!,
By "surress" (Dallas, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tyra's Beauty Inside & Out (Paperback)
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!!!
