Q&A with Carmindy

I recently talked with Carmindy, the makeup artist on television’s “What Not to Wear,” about makeup and her new book, “The 5 Minute Face.”

She has a very healthy approach to makeup, one that most women will appreciate. Even better, she likes to use both high-end and drug store products. That’s someone we can really relate to.

Check out my story in Sunday Living, July 15. Here’s a closer look at Carmindy.

Product you can’t live without: Highlight.

Favorite food: Japanese or my husband’s cooking.

I would never wear: Colored lip liner.

Always in my purse: The Q-tips purse pack.

Favorite cosmetics: You mean other than the ones I’m not doing yet? Right now, it would probably be Benefit.

Never leave home without: A lip gloss

Guilty pleasure: Tasty D Lite. Sometimes I’ll have a pint for dinner.

Best part of the job: Travel. I’m a travel junkie and I love it. Being able to travel all these amazing places has just been great.

Favorite city: New York.

Here’s the makeup she had in her purse the day we talked. It was a bit more than usual, she said, because she was meeting product developers about the possibility of her own line.

1. Fresh Satin Luster Highlighter

2. Benefit lipstick in Candy Store

3. Cover Girl No. 570 lipstick

4. Pout Flushed Blush in Flushed Pink

5. Maybelline Shiny-licious in a berry shade

6. Guerlain Cupidon lip pencil (a clear liner with a bit of shimmer)
