Book Reviews of The 5-Minute Face: The Quick & Easy Makeup Guide for Every Woman
Book Review: Beautiful. Modern Book...
Summary: 5 Stars
I think this book is beautifully presented, up-to-date, well organized and easy to understand. What I like most about this book is that is very new(it came out this year) and very modern so it talks about all the new cosmetics out there and the new trends in makeup that we have NOW. Other great makeup books from really famous makeup artists are very very dated, it doesn't matter that they are great if they are from the 90's. I like that Carmindy did not encourage people to buy pricey cosmetics in order to look fabulous and she even gives some advice on how to use stuff that you already have at home instead of buying the expensive stuff like how to do your own shimmery lotion among others. This is her first book and is very well done, the models were beautiful and the makeup breathtaking, she covers everyone,blondes, brunettes, asian women, black women, women in their 50's, teenagers, brides, redheads,and more. She teaches you here on how to create all those trendy looks on makeup like smoky eyes, using metallics, jewel colors in your eyes, bronze colors, retro sixties, nudes, red lips, glowy face, and much much more. One of the reviewers said that she expected Carmindy to tell all the products and tools that she use in the show, but if Carmindy did that then people will say that she is promoting people to buy those brands, so I think it was smart of her to just let people buy any brand they want. In the back of the books though she mentions all the products that she used on the model and then she gives another cheaper option which I thought was great. I love the show WNTW and love Carmindy because she really knows her stuff and I recommend this book 100%!
Summary of The 5-Minute Face: The Quick & Easy Makeup Guide for Every Woman
In "The 5-Minute Face", Carmindy (the makeup artist on the US TV show "What Not to Wear") 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 colour - 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.Beauty & Fashion Books
