Good Information

I enjoyed this book a lot and found much of the information useful. The photos are very good too except for the fact that all the models have flawless skin! The step by step guide for eyebrows is fantastic. The main let downs I feel it had was the limited information on Blondes and Brunettes particularly. Firstly, not all blondes are cool-toned - some actually need warm toned makeup to look their best. Secondly, not all brunettes are medium skin toned. There are many fair skinned brunettes such as myself and I feel there is no specfic information for us! Also lacking is information for women over the age of 50 which may disappoint a few ladies out there, I am sure.

I LOVE THE SHOW WHAT NOT TO WEAR

I've enjoyed watching Carmindy on the show "What Not to Wear" on TLC. I've learned quite a few tips. This book offers even more. Great pictures and very informative. A must have for make-up enthusiasts.

Makeup book

This book is really great-lots of tips for different occasions, easy to follow instructions, something for everyone.

Okay . . .

I hate to be a dissenting voice amongst the other reviewers, especially since I really like Carmindy on WNTW, but there it is. This is an okay, not great book. If you are experienced with makeup application you might find this to be a repeat of the basics, with no real new tricks added. There are many pictures of Carmindy, and even though I think she is lovely, I would have liked more (before and after) photos of other women -- I already know what Carmindy looks like.

There are a couple of lists in the back that are interesting: they detail the products Carmindy uses (and cheaper alternatives). I was pleased to see many of the same brands I like and use: Smashbox, NARS, Cargo, Dior, MAC, Lorac, Benefit, etc. and for these lists I gave the book three stars. On another positive note, if you are inexperienced with makeup or if you are a teenager, then this would probably be a useful book for you to purchase. I am 40, I have been using makeup for a long time, and was a bit disappointed by this book. I still think that Carmindy is a great makeup artist, I just didn't glean a whole lot from "The 5-Minute Face."
