ABOUT THE BOOK
EDITORIAL REVIEW
Good beauty advice is hard to come by these days. Women are constantly inundated with products that promise to remove wrinkles, reduce puffiness, highlight cheekbones, hide blemishes, and make them look younger, healthier, tanner, and even thinner–but do these products really work? Are they worth the time, money, and effort? Carmindy, makeup artist on TLC's popular show What Not to Wear, believes that the secret to a great look is to focus on the positive: learn how to enhance your best natural features with sheer washes of color rather than hide under layers of artificial–looking makeup. In The 5–Minute Face, Carmindy shares her beauty philosophy, offering a practical, easy, and always–successful makeup routine that works for all ages and skin types.
The steps for achieving the five–minute face–from smoothing on foundation, to slicking on lip color–are simple. But as Carmindy demonstrates, many women don't know which product is right for their skin tones, or are clueless on how to apply makeup for optimal results. Throughout every chapter, she provides valuable advice on perfecting the makeup technique that is right for your face, including product tips and accompanying "toolbox" sections that describe which tools to use with each type of makeup.
No matter what your age is, or whether you have porcelain skin or rosacea, Carmindy will help you look fabulous. In addition to the 5–minute makeover, she discusses:
•How to Get Brows That Wow: Learn what brow shape best frames your face
•What's Age Got to Do with It?: Tricks and trade secrets that keep every woman looking beautiful, from teens to women fifty and over.
•Beauty Comes in All Colors: Freckles? Blemishes? Carmindy solves the problems that make finding the perfect makeup for your skin tone difficult. Also includes tips on lash dying for those fair lashes, and lash perming for those who want permanently curled lashes.
•The 10–Minute Face: Carmindy shows how to build on the 5–minute face for special occasions. Everything from sexy dates–looking right in all white at your wedding–to the perfect look for a job interview.
Accompanied throughout by Palma Kolansky's beautiful photography, The 5–Minute Face is every woman's guide to enhancing their unique and beautiful features with the perfect makeup routine.
USER REVIEWS
"This was a quick and easy read. I'm a complete makeup noob so I found some of her tips informational. I haven't been able to try any of it, but I plan to someday. It seemed like the book had more photos of irrelevant things than information. I'm glad I got such a good deal on the book at Amazon. If i had paid the price at Borders i'd feel like it was a complete waste of money."

"I purchased this book because my 13 year old daughter LOVES watching "What Not to Wear". It has helped her to learn more about how to look the way she wants to look and not to look "made up". It is a great how-to for anyone of any age."

"I like Carmody and I got the book and I returned the book. If I were younger I'd be raving about the book however, I'm older and would really like to see a book for us "old broads" on what to do with make up. This book stops at 50, well I didn't stop at 50 so if you are older than dirt, don't get the book. Will someone out there do something for us over the hill gang, please!"

"The 5-minute face delivers exactly what it has promised - it's a "quick and easy makeup guide". Nothing fancy, nothing complicated. True enough, I did learn how to create a (nearly!) flawless face in 5 minutes, which helped me heaps in the few precious minutes before leaving for work. There are a number of beautiful photos too. However, I distinctly remember wondering why they used a flawless woman (who had brown eyeliner on) in the 5-minute routine photos. I couldn't spot the difference before and after the application of foundation.
This is not the book for makeup artists or fanatics. This book will just bore you. But if you want to know the fundamentals of makeup (and become a makeup artist or fanatic later on) - this would be the best book to buy."

"Carmindy did a good job. I have been using make up for 15 years now, but there was always something missing. I had a feeling that I don't know how to use make up, and I don't like exploring it myself. I want to be done and look good. I do read magazines and I read several books about make up, but here I learned several valuable tricks that made me go from OK to great.
Thank you Carmindy"
