Oh I love What Not To Wear. I wish one day to meet Stacy London and Clinton Kelly with their $5000 Visa in hand–yet without the embarassing video of me dressing all frumpy or dancing in the mirror to “My Humps” for all of Tv land to see.
Benefit Cosmetics has a 5 Minute Face routine put together by Carmindy of What Not To Wear that features her recommendations of products from Benefit. If you purchase any of the products from the 5 Minute recipe, be sure to add High Beam to your cart, use the promo code: CARMINDY at check out and you will get it (High Beam) for free.

Thanks Tracee!
I went out last night to Spehora and bought the Benefit lipstick (hug it out) and blush (Dallas. These colors are perfect for every skin tone. The lipstick is so silky smooth. Love it! I plan on buying the other products later.
Christie, thanks for the update! It’s been a while since I’ve bought lipstick (I’m more of a lipgloss girl), but a silky feeling lipstick sounds wonderful.
I thought I saw Carmindy using a spray foundation to “even out the skin color”. does anyone know where to get it and the name? thanks so much!
Hi Lorrie, yes I wrote about it here:

I’m a Senior citizen and would love to have hints about foundation for the over 65 face. Carmindy talks about the light spray that evens out the tones but I can’t seem to find it because I don’t know the brand.
oh yes. i just love makeup. yes yes yes. i have very wrinkled skin, and need tipss. anyone?
Carmindy is wonderful! Her makeup always looks so flawless and natural. And the wonders she can do with people! Can I be next please?
That Carmindy code sounds awesome; a whole bottle of high beam for free? I should have been reading this blog earlier!
wow that was a sweet deal! me want ;-(
I think I said something about it earlier, but I really want Carmindy’s book. When I flipped thru it everything just seemed so easy and uncomplicated. Maybe it’s time to finally just invest in it.
era spray foundation.
Hello, I was wondering if anyone knows what glorious lipstick pallette Carmindy uses…it’s got all the essential color’s and looks so glossy and some creamy!!!!??
anyone

I am 63 and just tried a couple of Carmindy’s new natural make up products from the Sally Hansen company. This stuff is great! I used the foundation and lip stick and lip moisture stick. Feels good and smells yummy. Sorry, I don’t have the official names of these things while I am typing this. The lip products are light and refreshing and the foundation comes in a pump bottle which I like. I have a hard time finding a light foundation at my age that still covers well. This is the one. Doesn’t look cakey. I used my fingers to dot around my face and then smoothed and blended it with a makeup sponge. One mistake I made was pumping too much out of the bottle the first time. It only takes one small pump on the dispenser and that will cover your whole face, believe me! This should make it a good buy because it will last a long time, right? My next purchase will be the mascara and maybe a shadow. It’s very exciting to see this make up line as I just love her and how she transforms people with just a few quick tips.
i need tips for palest beige skin,the same shade of brown dark eyes and hair, my question is what three shades of shimmery eyeshadow? I look good with navy blue eyeliner. Also, Ilike tawny lipstick,but I would love to know the correct shade of pink to try. I need help with evening wear.
Does anyone know what Carmindy uses under the eyes to lighten up the area? Also what shimmer she uses? Thanks!
I would like to know what bronzing ’spray’ you use on the show What Not To Wear
Carmindy uses Era face spray foundation and spray bronzer and the highlighter is benefit Eye bright. All of these products are awesome I use them myself.
