CARMINDY

Shanus — Wed, 12 Feb 2020 12:01:12 GMT

I caught an episode of What Not To Wear from 2008. She did the same techniques with almost the same products as she's selling now. Times have changed for sure and so has makeup.

Have you watched her on Q? Purchased anything? Thoughts?

Used to love WNTW. Haven't purchased any of her products. I haven't even seen her on the Q.......truthfully I used to think she should have been a client on WNTW....I hated the way she dressed.

Someone here said the Q was putting lots of faith in the CARMINDY line to sell lots of cosmetics. I see the same "5 minute face" she spoke to the women about at least 15 years ago. Nothing exciting in her upcoming show. Well, I wonder who's great idea this was?

I think Carmindy is beautiful and love her makeup application. Different artist appeal to different people. I like the pretty lip color and eye makeup she is wearing. I do not like nude lips and dark eye makeup

I have never tried her makeup, but I think she is very pretty, and seems like a nice person. She does demonstrate her products very well. I may have to try something in her line the next time I need makeup...

I enjoy her shows, because she explains and demonstrates so well-no yelling, and no hard sell......I never saw her on the other show....

I think Carmindy is definitely still in the last decade, or beyond. She is beautiful, no doubt about it. But she is another brand that thinks all shades work for all women.

I saw her one-size-fits-all presentation a few weeks ago, during one of Shawn's Dare to Share Beauty shows. A very light pink blush, lip and shadow demonstration. One of her models was a gorgeous African American woman. When Carmindy got through with her she looked like a circus clown, all while saying how beautiful it turned out. Anyone could see it looked ridiculous. That sales pitch of don't believe what you see, only believe what I tell you has never worked for me.

I have not watched her since. Since I never heard of her before QVC, I don't feel a void.

This lady looks beautiful wearing Carmindy makeup.

I loved her line when it was sold at CVS. Basic products. Nothing trendy or flashy.

Makeup lines have definitly exploded with highlighters & glitter products & I wish that it had happened earlier.

For my life style, I don't wear as many glitters & shiny products as I might have a few years, ago.

I do like a bit, but mostly I still need good strong basics. If Carmindy can provide those for me, I will try them!

I was never impressed with Carmindy. And "Carmindizing?" Really? Adding that bit of light to the inner corner of the eyes has been around since before Cleopatra lol. She sure didn't invent it.

As usual, too, the ones updating looks always appear to be stuck in a rut, themselves. On WNTW, I had to laugh seeing her in the same old blah hairstyle, and running around in what always looked like an old slip--that hardly inspired confidence.

And nothing's changed.

I used to love that show but was never a big fan of her's or the hairstylists they had on the show. In fact, I always felt like Carmindy could use a make-over herself.

I was never the least bit tempted by any of her products no matter what shopping channel or store she was in. I'm even less impressed with her items now. I don't need my make-up products numbered or color coded, etc. to tell me in what order to use them.

@Lipstickdiva I always cringed when I saw the hairstylists with a razor in their hands. They're the worst for the hair leaving split and shattered ends. I always request scissors only...no thinning/texturizing shears or razors.

@Iwantcoffee Unfortunately, neither women in the video in this item # A372611 benefited one bit from the shades Carmindy used on them. I'm just saying, "lovestruck Rose" is not a universal shade, even though she sells it as such.

I agree that very shade does not look good on everyone but i do think her line has shades that do look very pretty. Everyone will not like Carmindy or her brand, but that is true for every artist and brand.

@Caaareful Shopper . You are right. I did see this particular show and I thought OMG! That color was all wrong for that model. It was not a color for all skintones for sure......I pay very little attention to makeup artists that say oh this is a color that will work for everyone, because most of the time it isn't true!!!!!!

From what I can tell, everything on the Q was in kits. I don't think she offers enough shades for foundation. I guess I would have to read reviews to see how her products perform. (This has nothing to do with this thread but if I see one more commercial on Pillow Talk by Tilbury, I will scream). Oh, I just looked at Carmindy's products at how can you purchase foundation with no pictures except that tiny, little round circle with the color in it? You really need larger images of the shades.

I really liked her mascara, it doesn't flake and doesn't smudge. That's the only thing I've purchased of hers.

Re: CARMINDY

jackthebear — Thu, 13 Feb 2020 12:11:25 GMT

universal shades????

I don't buy into that, it's a way to sell stuff without bringing a lot of inventory that may or may not sell
