Beauty IQ

I really liked the programming a lot at first but everyone seems to be getting a little childish now. I find myself changing the channel. Would love to enjoy watching the tutorials without the interuptions and the constant silly banter. It can still be fun without it. I am all for fun but sometimes I just can't watch therefore, I don't buy.

When I heard about the show I thought I would love it since I like beauty shows. That girl with the long brown hair is cute and seems sweet but all the silliness and giggling drives me crazy. Also they spend too much time on one thing.

I am a self confessed beauty junkie and the BeautyIQ channel just isn't doing it for me. I'm in my mid 40's and I feel like I may not be their target audience. Maybe we need a BeautyIQ2!

Alberti is such an enjoyable person to watch and learn from.

Beauty IQ is just overkill. 90% of the products are awful.

The show is unwatchable. It is not Alberti's fault. Q appears to be having a youtube channel on TV that is not working.

That being said I can watch Alberti's youtube presentations when he is not surrounded by silliness and unusable products.

Unfortunately the beauty industry, like fashion, same as most movies and tv shows & fashion magazines along w/ advertising is geared to a 18-30 yr. yr. old demographic. Beauty IQ w/ the FB comments read during the presentations and the YouTube-like "look" of the makeovers and demos is proof. Each time I go to BEAUTY IQ on my IPad, it seems to be repeated segments of products all day. From 8PM-midnight Wed.-Sat. isn't much better. If by chance I flip over and it's in the middle of a makeover, etc., no way to rewind, so just don't watch. Love Alberti, but don't think 18 yr. olds and younger have the attention span to watch 1/2 demos and wait for the next. They can go to you tube and choose what they prefer to see. Uh, how are these kids watching BEAUTY IQ supposed to pay for their purchases? Our credit cards? No way!!!

While flipping channels and landing there seeing someone named Allan putting on so much highlighter he looked like the tin man and people thinking how awesome it looked I realized this was not really a channel I was going to be watching much

Clearly a beauty IQ can be a minus......

Absolutely yes! I agree....too much talking about nonsense. I'm looking for more of the tutitorial and product instruction, not the pointless jokes.

Well the millennials have outnumbered the boomers and this means business as it looks to the future for spending. Seems BIQ is targeting the youth.

Same here. I have enjoyed some of the programs, especially those featuring my favorite vendors (Laura Geller), but all in all, I would rather watch that vendor on live QVC. And I know I may be opening a can of worms, but I have no interest in watching a guy put on makeup.

Can't take the giggling either. At the beginning there was some new, like Dr. Gross, and it was presented in a mature way. All downhill from there.

It is a bit of a contradiction but I love Alberti.

The target audience that they think they are reaching have abandoned FB and onto different social platforms.

so that integration is basically useless and "silly".

I have to agree with many here. At first I was excited about the channel but the presentations and tutorials are too long for one item. Also the theme most of the time seems like a funky disco/techno party vibe that I'm just not into. I'll just watch the beauty shows on the regular channel. By the way, if anyone has a Roku they have an HSN Beauty channel. It's previously recorded material but each segment is only a few minutes for each presentation then it moves on to the next item. If you don't like what's on you can skip forward for the next presentation. I much prefer that over the Beauty IQ format.

I love shopping all things beauty but I don't last long on this channel. Too much silly childish giggling, almost like they have been drinking. 'Also to many very close up shots, great for cosmetics but not necessary for a blow dryer or moisturizer. The lighting is a bit harsh and washes out everything. Great opportunity with this channel but unless your market is 13 year old girls you need to rethink your host and how immature they act.

I have not tuned into Beauty IQ but have noticed they are using presentations from those shows instead of QVC. I had ordered some LG set of 12 eyeliners and was having second thoughts so I went back to watch the demo and the Beauty IQ was what they were using, not from the show I had just seen. Needless to say after seeing the following, I could not see/envision this product on me and cancelled.

I would love to see a from bare face to applied product demonstation in the event QVC is reading...listening...

It is full of reruns. They need to have more new products and it would be nice if there was free shipping from time to time. The Tips are great.

I watch IQ on Roku, and boy does the difference in the image quality vs had cable feed is significant. It makes the makeup look garish while it looks ok on QVC HD cable. I especially notice the difference with Jamie Kern Lima's lipstick.

I was hoping for some good tutorials, but have been disappointed so far.

I am a beauty junkiie and buy way more than I need. I was excited for the launch of Beauty IQ even though my husband groaned at the idea of all beauty all the time. It lasted about a week for me. I picked up some good tips, but got tired of the reruns. My favorite was a segment using Tarte. She started with a bare face while we watched and learned as she put on her makeup. Good, close up camera shots. Since then, I am bored. A lot of giggling and in my opinion juvenile behavior. I think it's a great concept, just would be better if they came up with some fresh ideas. I hope others enjoy it. I might not be their target audience (over 50).

I noticed this as well but with Mally. On the Roku her makeup looked clownish, especially the highlight/strobing. It looked like she had silver streaks across her cheeks and down the bridge of her nose. Very unnatural. This makeup look may be good for photo shoots where they use a lot of photo shopping but no way is this a good look for everyday real life. The quality on the Roku also shows the lines and imperfections on eveyones skin when they are singing the praises of whatever skin care line they say will erase wrinkles. Quite an eye opener.
