Re: Carmindy’s tutorials today (Christmas day)

While watching Carmindy, the few things I do differently are: I apply concealer before foundation...you end up using much less foundaton once darkness and imperfections are covered. Sometimes, no foundation is needed. I also place blush further back, not on apples, especially on a woman over 40. "Apples" are lower once you stop smiling dragging the face downward. 

 

When she did the college students, I doubt they needed full foundation, spot concealing would have been enough. 

 

It was quite weird seeing NY as it used to be...all the people and traffic. It's like a ghost town now. I kept wondering how long ago they filmed that piece.


@Shanus  She used the same reason for using foundation first and then concealer that you do for concealer first.  You end up not needing as much.  I used her technique this morning while getting ready for church.  It is true......I usually did it the way you do.  However, on my face foundation gives a nicer finish than concealer.  I liked the result and will give it a go again.

 

Also the few that I watched, she turned the client away from the mirror.  These were women that wore very little make up in the past.  Doing their face and then twirling them around for a reveal does nothing to teach them how to apply the makeup.  Hopefully she gives them a tutorial afterward, off camera.  

 

And finally, I could have done without the inspirational, uplifting, confidence building jargon.  These women didn't seem like they were lacking in that department.  They just needed a little "me" attention.  I hope they gave them tons of samples to take home.  Smiley Wink
