"Staging Your Comeback" is not a typical quick fix makeover book, but rather a complete head-to-toe beauty revival, Hopkins says. He wants to motivate women to revive their looks with his proven comeback system, dramatic visual makeovers, humor and practical, easy to understand tips. The book gives "boomers" simple solutions to revive hair, makeup and clothing that does not cost a fortune. Hopkins also offers insider tips on lifting eyes without plastic surgery, how to handle thinning hair and dressing for every body type.
Obsessed with the ease in which busy women "let themselves go," or "focus on others, instead of themselves," Hopkins has dedicated his life to making over women in need of a comeback. He helps women with the challenges they face as they grow older and arms them with no-holds-barred advice and wake-up-call techniques to fight their way back to center stage as they enter what Hopkins calls "our second acts.""Staging Your Comeback is a labor of love to help women who want to look their very best but are too busy to spend the time or can't put all the pieces together," Hopkins says. "I don't see a woman for what she should be, I see a woman for who she can be."
