Book Description
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 practical tips I've added from my friends in the fashion biz, this book will show you how tolook and feel beautiful -- inside and out.

Skin: How to get and keep that skin of yours glowing, from sun care to zit-zappers, from body art to body piercing.

Makeup: From keeping it real and natural to taking a walk on the wild side.

Hair: The Lowdown on dyes, cuts and styles, from waves to weaves.

Health: Working out, eating right and dealing with days when you're too pooped to pump iron.

Fashion: Stylin' and profilin', from hot trends to classic chic, designer habits to great fakes.

Alcohol and Drugs: On kicking bad habits, avoiding temptation and the path to reaching a natural high.

Relationships: Straight talk from girls' hearts and souls on good love, bad breakups and making a love connection that lasts.

Self-loving: Learning to accept the fool in you, as well as the part that got it goin' on. ... Read more

Tyra Is The Voice OfWomen
I love this book i remember seeing it when i was like in the 7th grade an she had that picture of her in the book with no make up on an even pointed out flaws an zoomed in on it an then showed what make up does to her to cover it up for a model to do that with the rumours you hear bout how cut throat they are an how they like to pretend there perfect i started an all new respect for Ms.Tyra Banks, this book goes everywhere from Make-Up tips to relationships an sex its a good book for those girls who arent sure how to cope with break ups to how to apply eyeshadow correctly an do evening an day looks i would suggest this to ALL women of ALL ages especially to those who have teenagers an young adults like myself who are still trying to figure out who they are an also know there not alone as far as doing crazy things when it comes to guys. Tyra also gives personal stories of her experiences of broken hearts an even her stories on sex, (Also she has A lot of pictures of her modeling pics an of her family an just home photos.

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.

A Keepsake!
I fell in love with this book since its release and highly recommend it. Sure, it contains tons of photos of Tyra, but this is the very nature of her work, people... HELLOOOOO. And it's obvious this book was going to focus on her by its title, it isn't called 'YOUR Beauty, Inside Out', now is it? Anyways, looking at her never gets boring because the pics are all varying in style and purpose. If you're a fan of Tyra or appreciate sexy-yet-wholesome beauty & personality then you'll cherish this book. It's one-parts autobiography, one-parts pictorial, and 1-parts self-improvement advice, the works mixed together! I get a strong feeling that this was the intention of Banks & Blake and I think it makes for a unique and fun reading experience.

Model Beauty
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". ... Read more

Naomi Campbell is an Englishwoman of Achievement
Naomi Campbell certainly isn't a black American, she was born and brought up in Streatham, London, England. She doesn't live in the US and doesn't have American citizenship.Can you trust anything written in a book that starts off that badly researched?

In the UK, black people are not called Black British, just British, like everyone born there.

Great to book!
This book is was very interesting. It told of lot of interesting things that tyra does does besides modeling. She is one of my favorite models. I think that is she very different from the other models out there and will always be. ... Read more

Nothing to do with fitness
What a disappointment of a book.Four unauthorized biographies with no information about what these people do to keep in shape.
To top it off it lacks accuracy.

Wow!
I'm in 8th grade and have been dancing since I was 6, lifting weights since I was 11, and interested in nutrition since I was 12. I bought this book because of my interest in health and was inspired by such a great book! It describes Tyra Banks, Denise Austin, Christie Brinkley, and Claudia Schiffer, some of my favorite famous females. If you're interested in health like me, no matter what age you are, you must try this book! ... Read more
