Editorial Review:

According to a recent study, only 2% of women describe themselves as 'beautiful.' (Dove Global Study 'The Real Truth About Beauty: A Global Report', 2004) The media instructs women how to 'look ten years younger,''cover up wrinkles,' or 'get fuller, plumper lips.' And even makeup products play off womens' insecurities, promising to conceal perceived flaws, define cheekbones, or make eyelashes fuller and longer. The underlying message? That there's something inherently wrong with the way women look and that they have to spend time, money, and energy keeping up with all the ways they should 'fix' themselves.
In GET POSITIVELY BEAUTIFUL, makeup artist Carmindy from TLC's hit program What Not to Wear shows you how to change your mindset from negative fault-finding to a positive beauty philosphy. You learn how to find and focus on your best features and how to combat negative thoughts about your appearance. Carmindy demonstrates easy makeup techniques for eyes, brows, lashes, lips, cheeks, and skin, and how to adapt looks to different weather conditions and 'beauty moods.'

Carmindy Vision:

This follow-up to "The Five-Minute Face" features a section of "real-woman makeovers", and in that respect is superior to its predecessor. I thought a range of non-model faces was a glaring omission in the last book that this one rectifies. I also appreciate the extensive list of Carmindy-approved products, in their Expensive ($$$) and Bargain ($) versions. The photography is stunning and Carmindy comes across as a very caring and upbeat person. I didn't glean any egotism from her text, but, as in the... more info

A resource for life!!:

A guilty pleasure of mine is watching TLC's What Not To Wear every day when I come home from work. And do you know what my favorite part is? Carmindy's segment! I always look forward to watching her make a woman feel beautiful by encouraging her to play up her unique features, and really look in that mirror and BELIEVE that she's beautiful. I never feel like the make-up segment is long enough to truly absorb the information that Carmindy gives us, so I was so excited to see she had come out with a book.... more info
