A Beautiful Truth: The Art of Grooming for Women

Many a girl wants to end up like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. Many a girl wants the elfin, unforgettable charm of Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady. Many a girl wants to win Miss World, wear a glittering tiara and wave to the cheering crowds. But what many a girl needs to know is that she must exfoliate, tweeze, condition, exercise and try on a couple more skirts, before she gets there.

Winning the Miss World title gave me direct access to an incredible wealth of information on all aspects of grooming including an in-depth knowledge on Hair, Makeup, Skin, Body-shapes and how best to dress them. For over 10 years I used this knowledge to help prepare and groom Beauty Queens of various nationalities for international beauty pageants like Miss World and Miss Europe. I also lecture extensively around the world on this subject. While conducting research for my lectures on grooming, I found that there was a tremendous amount of misinformation and confusing directions being handed out to women everywhere. Having gone through the long arduous metamorphosis and being equipped with the correct knowledge on all aspects of grooming, I was ready to share this knowledge with women across the world. This book is a result of that expert advice and training, along with my personal experience of teaching grooming.

A Beautiful Truth: The Art of Grooming for Women speaks to women practically, truthfully and purposefully and ends the confusion caused by the daily barrage of fickle trends and the latest 'it' thing.

A Beautiful Truth is a clear and definitive guide that truly educates you about body shapes, sizes, colours, techniques and assembling a look that defines your individual style. Most importantly, its about understanding what you need versus what you've been told to want.

A Beautiful Truth: The Art of Grooming for Women is the definitive guide for women everywhere. Written by Diana Hayden, Miss World 1997, this book enables you to transform yourself into a woman with a truly arresting physical presence. You can benefit from the advice gleaned by Dianas interaction with internationally acclaimed practitioners for over a decade in the fields of skin, make-up, body care, clothing, accessories, poise, posture, health and fitness.

This book extracts the best of Dianas grooming lectures, workshops and research information, backed by hundreds of sketches, diagrams and photographs. Where others have simply skimmed the surface, A Beautiful Truth leaves no stone unturned, offering detailed answers to your most pressing questions.

Within these exhortative 256 pages, you can leave the hype behind and demystify the tricks that have not only been extensively explored by Diana, but on which she herself depends. Included, are also little gems of personal anecdotes, ranging from the time she won the Miss World title to her confinement in the Big Boss house.

A Beautiful Truth is a comprehensive guide in grooming knowledge that has stood the test of time and is quick and easy to implement. In today's hurricane world, this book can be a woman's choicest weapon.
