Review
In Looking Younger, hair and makeup artist and author Jones delivers an illustrated makeover solutions guide to enhance a woman's beauty no matter her age. Jones sticks to makeup application, which is his expertise. His tips and techniques to turn back the clock are practical, with good detail and instruction. Readers learn to apply makeup to cover typical age-related beauty problems such as puffy eyelids, uneven skin tones, and wrinkles. Before and after color photographs of women of different ages and ethnicity show real-life application and transformation through simple and subtle makeup changes. The folio-sized book is an easy read, with sound advice for women of any age. Recommended for public libraries. -- Library Journal, Oct 15, 2008

Good advice, but don't rely too much on the pictures
I liked the advice given on application. As a 37 year old woman, I have found myself putting on more foundation to try to make my skin look better. As most already know, this didn't tend to work as well as I had hoped. I was making myself look older when my intent was to make myself look more polished (and my Lord, where did those ginormous pores come from!?). I had also noticed the eye makeup I was wearing was making me look tired--I have slightly over-plucked brows and dark circles under my eyes, so my age was beginning to show there, too. The step-by-step process aided me in applying better, not more, and the result was a softer yet still polished look. I got a compliment today about how good I looked, even though I was tired from a restless night's sleep. That alone was worth the cost of the book.
The only downside to the book is the pictures. Look closely--these pictures are obviously airbrushed. Also, I think the end result in the photos is unrealistic. These already gorgeous women had their makeup applied by a professional, which probably took 90+ minutes. The photos were immediately taken, and then the photos retouched to remove crows feet, pores, shine, under eye bags, and other imperfections. Nice to sell the book, I suppose, but not really representative of what the average woman should expect to achieve with 10 minutes in the morning and no time to really touch up during the day.
All things considered, I think this is the most helpful advice on cosmetics for the over-35 crowd that I have encountered.
Look Younger without Surgery!!!! 
robert jones book Looking Younger- is a refreshing account of the Real woman, and her needs to look younger without surgery!!- no other makeup book gives you the information that he shares!
I appreciate a book that shows Real woman putting on her makeup- not having it done for her, and especially Chapter 11- becoming younger step by step- it helps those that are easily intimidated ( like me ) to see what to do- and why you would do it!
Finally a book about the Real woman!! Not the celebrities and overtly dramatic befores that make the afters into a reality show. I think robert really speaks to the real woman that goes to the makeup counter so unsure- but wanting to understand- robert gives me that confidence now
A MUST HAVE !!!
This book is a must have for anyone who wants to look younger, beautiful or wants to help someone else with their look!! If you are a make-up artist, you must have this book in your library. The tools, tricks and training that Robert supplies you with will surely increase your bookings, confidence and style. By simply showing this book to clients, you will be able to get a better idea of what they are looking for you to do. Additionally, if the client or you don't have any idea where to begin, look no further, Robert will take you through the steps in terms that you can understand and easily teach your client.
If you are doing your own make-up, this is book for you, no more fears, no more tears and no more botox!!! You choose, shots in the face or tips for a lifetime!!!
The before and after pictures are AMAZING...I have all of Roberts books and this is, by far, THE BEST...
