Good point! I bet Carmindy doesn't have trainees like Nick does, though, huh?

Non-Fiction TV: I Reject Your Reality and Substitute My Own
This thread is for non-fiction TV, including but not limited to reality television (So You Think You Can Dance, Top Chef: Masters, Project Runway), documentaries (The History Channel, The Discovery Channel), and sundry (Expedition Africa, Mythbusters), et al. [NAFDA]
My sister-in-law does runway/model/art make-up. I'm sure she'd be happy to say nice things. She'd say them in Russian though, so maybe not as helpful.
ETA: like this. [link]
She used to have some of her crazy arty stuff on line, like some of the bizarre challenges you see on ANTM where they're all done up like leopards or something. I wonder if I have any of those saved anywhere. Really neat.

Heh.
I just feel like Carmindy always has something really specific and positive to say.
I love Carmindy.
Carmindy is pretty cool, even though she does tend to use more makeup than I think she should for people who are going from NONE to some.
I would kill to have Nick cut my hair, though. Just so I could listen to him talk, really.

Yeah--I actually ended up seeing the "Blossom" episode the other day, and she put a TON of makeup on someone whose whole thing was the hippy-boho style of no makeup at all. I was like...seriously? I'm sure the woman used to wear tons of makeup in front of a camera, but...you just put multiple foundation flavors and brightener and blah blah blah on her. Do you REALLY think she's going to do that, five minutes or no? Maybe try a tinted moisturizer?

Exactly! You could tell Mayim was like, "Uh huh. Sure."
But she means well!
I tend to think of the makeup as the equivalent of the mannequins -- here's something to look at, and if you can meet us in the middle, we'll call it good.
I hate the glossy lipstick Carmindy puts on everyone.
I think they have to put a lot of make up on you when you are on TV. I doubt that's what Carmindy would do if you just went to her for an everyday consultation.
The only reason that I wouldn't want to go to Nick is that, like most hairdressers and Mia Michaels, he's a cutter. Although, I am always impressed that Nick can get down with black hair as well as he does. I don't know that they've ever had an african american woman on the show without a relaxer who wore her hair straight, but I would love to see what he'd do with that.
