Raves for War Paint

"The amount of research and meticulous personal data in this book is really quite remarkable and compelling. It provides a wealth of information from which to draw wonderfully three-dimensional characters and humanizes this iconic twosome."
–Raquel Welch

"I have seldom enjoyed a book so much as War Paint. The research is staggering–I loved all the detail about society and the arts in Paris, New York, and London that so beautifully set our two heroines in context during such a long span of years . . . it was a wonderful read."
–Lulu Guinness

"A compelling cosmetic portrait of the first half of the twentieth century."
–W magazine

"So riveting that it reads like the movie that will surely be made. . . . With first-hand research and fast-paced prose, Woodhead has succeeded in turning dusty archives into high drama."
–Suzy Menkes, International Herald Tribune

"It might seem impossible to wring another drop of H2O (water is still a 90 percent base of most cosmetics), let alone humour and historical interest, out of the absurd but ever-alluring beauty business, but Lindy Woodhead has succeeded."
–Nicky Haslam, Literary Review

"These were women who were tough in business, who had a single vision–an idea of what they believed in and would do anything to get there."
–Bobbi Brown
