Lina was known as "the most beautiful woman in the world."

After her retirement from the stage, Cavalieri managed her cosmetic salons in Paris. She was asked many times to offer her beauty hints for publication. In 1914 she published My Secrets of Beauty, which offered "More than 1,000 Valuable Recipes for Preparations Used and Recommended by Mme. Cavalieri Herself.
