Raise your hand if you think you look fat. You’re not alone. Almost
every woman I know thinks she does—even those who exercise every
day, eat nothing but salads and salmon, and wear a size six or less!
—Charla Krupp, from the Introduction
A
ll women want to look thinner and chicer, but are constantly sabotaged by
their clothes. Style expert Charla Krupp, bestselling author of How Not to Look
Old, knows: It’s not you, it’s your clothes! If you stop wearing things that make
you look heavier than you actually are, you can look thinner by tonight—without
starving, exercising, or doing anything crazy.
In HOW TO NEVER LOOK FAT AGAIN, Charla has devised a fresh, fast,
and simple way to determine whether a piece of clothing is going to pack on the
pounds. All you have to do is think about each item you wear in terms of how
fattening it is. Simply steer clear of high fat clothes—those guaranteed to make
you look flabby and frumpy—and wear no-fat as often as you can. How simple
is that?
You’ll never get dressed the same way again once you discover:
smart, easy ways to hide arm flap, a big bust, a muffin top, back fat, a
Buddha belly, a big booty, wide hips, thunder thighs, heavy calves—and
that’s only half the book!
which fabrics, colors, and styles make you look fat—and which ones
make the pounds drop away
clever solutions for special situations—workout gear, evening wear, and
even swimsuits!
Charla’s “Brilliant Buys”: the brands, fashions, and services that really
deliver—and a list of which products to avoid
the top ten tips for every body issue that will make you look thinner by
tonight!
Finally, you can stop asking your husband, girlfriend, boyfriend, sister,
brother, mother, coworker: “Does this make me look fat?” Now the answer will
always be “No!”

AUTHOR’S NOTE:
Over 100 products under $25!
Over 125 NEW PRODUCTS!
→ So how are those high-fat and no-fat looks going? After my tour of twenty-
one cities showing women all over this country how easy it is to look THINNER
BY DINNER(!), I settled in for a few months testing well over 400 beauty and
body products, shapewear, bras, and workout gear along with my beauty-savvy
magazine editor friend, Brette Polin. I needed to see if the newer versions of all
the original brilliant buys in the hardcover edition of How to Never Look Fat
Again were in fact better than all the products that have launched since that book
hit the printer. As a result of all that dabbing and schmearing and inspecting my
face and body for results, I’m introducing you to over 125 new products in this
updated edition of How to Never Look Fat Again. I’m thrilled to tell you that in
the new version you’re holding, there are over 100 products under $25!
Why? Because in this economy, finding a beauty product that performs
miracles for over $100 isn’t as exciting as finding one that will do the same for
less. I don’t care how much money you have, every woman I know wants to pay
less and get more. So, in judging these brilliant buys, price mattered. If two
products were equally as effective, the less expensive one was the winner. But,
of course, the ultimate winner in all this is you! If you already own the
hardcover, you are going to save money by picking up this paperback, too!
The new message in this updated edition of How to Never Look Fat Again is:
Don’t be loyal to products. Loyalty to people is a virtue; loyalty to beauty
products and fashion items can make you look old—and fat! Your personal style
is constantly evolving, and your products need to evolve, too. Say your favorite
lipstick is discontinued. Are you one of those women who chase down whatever
remaining tubes are left on the planet? If so, better to save your precious energy
and just embrace the change as a signal from the universe to move on to another
shade. In the world of beauty, newness most of the time benefits you as it’s
usually an upgrade in efficacy, ingredients, formulations, or delivery system.
Unless, of course, it’s the same old product with an upgraded price tag!
I still believe that a change of makeup and skin-care products can make a
difference. I’ve seen it firsthand. My sister, Lora, who lives a very casual
lifestyle in California, came to New York City to visit me and we spent a lot of
time testing new beauty products. When she got on the plane to go home, she
looked so radiant, as if she had done something much more dramatic than try out
new exfoliators, moisturizers, serums, foundations, blush, eyeliner, brow filler,
mascara, and lipstick. When she got home, her friends demanded that she tell
them what she did at my New York derm, to get her skin so glowing. No one
could really believe that it was simply a change of products! So have fun
checking out these new brilliant buys with your sister, friends, book club
group… It’s all about sharing the wealth with women you love. Let me know
what new products you are obsessed with at charlakrupp.com. Here’s to
everyone looking younger, sexier, thinner, better by tonight!
XX,
Charla
