Latina Beauty
by Belen Aranda-Alvarado, Daisy Fuentes (Foreword)

The leading magazine by and for Latinas presents the first total beauty guide exclusively for the rapidly expanding market of Hispanic women. Latina beauty is everywhere...Salma Hayek tamed Will Smith in Wild, Wild West... Christina Aguilera is storming the music charts...Jennifer Lopez is heating up the silver screen...In fact, the growth of the Latin market is nothing short of remarkable: from the salsa craze to Ricky Martin to the Taco Bell chihuahua, there's no question that the Latin moment has arrived! Today, Latina women are some of the most savvy, affluent, appearance-conscious consumers out there. Now there's a beauty book designed just for this dynamic audience of 11 million.

Compiled by the editors of Latina magazine, Latina Beauty fills a long-empty niche in the beauty book category. Featuring insider tips from the hottest stars, models, and beauty experts, it redefines total beauty from the unique perspective of the Hispanic woman. From the styling gel in their hair to the polish on their toes, Latinas take pride in their appearance--they love talking about it, learning about it, and experimenting with it every day. Gorgeously produced in full color, and packed with information, inspiration, and celebrity insight, Latina Beauty is the only guide they'll need, and the first guide to celebrate what makes Hispanic women so distinct, so powerful, and so beautiful.

TIP from UPN show: Be careful not to over makeup- you have enough natural beauty- let it shine with coppers, plums and mauves.

African American beauy tip:

Try caramel to deep-cabernet colors for lips- apricot and gold tones for cheeks!
Go for richly pigmented eyeliners, topped with matching eyeshadow so the color really stands out. Also, do not use translucent powder- it is too ashy on black skin.
-Makeup artist Courtney Corvan, as read in Marie Claire Summer 2003.
