The Handbook of Style -- Do you need to polish your look? Are you ready for a fashion makeover? Authors Francine Maroukian and Sarah Woodruff have approached today's top hair stylists, skin specialists, fashion designers, and makeup artists for a crash course in personal presentation. The result is The Handbook of Style, an essential reference guide to fashion and beauty.

Jim Crawford of Revlon explains the trick to applying false eyelashes. Evelyn Lauder of Estée Lauder shows the best moisturizer for your skin type. Arden Hess of Wolford teaches how to match silk stockings with shoes. And personal shopper Mark Gill spells out exactly what to look for to find the perfect little black dress.

With elegant step-by-step illustrations, this mock-crocodile-covered paperback is a stylish, must-have object in itself. No woman's bookshelf will be complete without one!

Francine Maroukian is a frequent contributor to Town & Country, Esquire, and Travel + Leisure, and is the author of Chef's Secrets (Quirk, 2004).

Sarah Woodruff is a freelance writer who lives in New Jersey.
