War Paint: Elizabeth Arden and Helena Rubinstein, Their lives, their Times their Rivalry. by Lindy Warhead
The double biography of two extraordinary women with exceptional daring and drive, both starting with nothing, burning to prove themselves, workaholics. During their six decades in the cosmetic business, they founded the principles of beauty care taken for granted today and with their colossal wealth had enormous influence in the international art and racing worlds as well. Extreme rivals, they never met. Not only an excellent biography but a valuable history of make-up, art and fashion in the twentieth century.
