Book Description
How My Cancer Banished Darkness for All Time Written in real-time on her iPhone, Love and Light tells the story of how one woman chose to face stage 3 colon cancer — from the initial diagnosis while waking from her first colonoscopy ... to the moment when she swallowed her final chemo pill with a tall drink o’ water and a chaser of Malibu Rum. The earliest draft was read by her mom, who dutifully passed each page to her dad. They read at different paces and she watched as her mom laughed, while her dad cried — and smothered a giggle when they looked at each other, befuddled and bemused, as the story ricocheted between moments that were heart-wrenching and heartwarming. Pay no mind to the occasional curse word as you navigate the truly personal, up-close, front-row, blow-by-blow, head-in-a-bucket details of her faith-filled journey — told through actual, real-life, uncensored and unedited texts to family and friends … to girlfriends and besties … to a husband and a Hoya … to one sister and two poker brothers … to cowboys and broncos … and a boy next door.

The “exquisite and richly illustrated” New York Times bestseller from the renowned makeup artist, “a retrospective written for all women, everywhere” (Vogue France). Makeup, as we know it, has only been commercially available in the last 100 years, but applying decoration to the face and body may be one of the oldest global social practices.

Face Paint explores the practical and idiosyncratic reasons behind makeup’s use, the actual materials employed over generations, and the glamorous icons that people emulate, it is also a social history of women and the ways in which we can understand their lives through the prism and impact of makeup. “Makeup artist and Lancome global creative director Lisa Eldridge drops serious knowledge in Face Paint, her book on the history of beautifying.” —Marie Claire “Clear your coffee table and turn off YouTube—Lisa Eldridge’s book is a must read.” —Teen Vogue “The book is not only rich with history but also with a series of paintings, sketches and photographs in an intense array of colors, selected by the make-up artist herself in the most aesthetically pleasing universal statement to women you’ll ever see.” —Vogue France “Face Paint delves into the history of makeup, with glossy pictures to match . . . the book’s cover is striking.” —New York Post
