Congrats! And thanks to the folks at Hachette Book Group for sponsoring this giveaway.
If you’re here for the first time from the Bloggy Giveaways, welcome to Chic Critique! We hope you’ll sit down and stay a while.
We are regular women who love to try out beauty products and talk about it. We aren’t experts, we’re just a few girlfriends with the gift of gab, and we like to share what we find! So take some time and browse the archives (everything is categorized by topic – you can find the categories on the sidebar) and learn a little more about us on the Contributors page. You might even see some familiar faces!
I’ve been a fan of What Not To Wear since the very first episode aired in 2003 with Stacy London and Wayne Scott Lukas.
That’s right, I did NOT say Clinton Kelly. Wayne Scott Lukas was the first male co-host of What Not To Wear. I was hooked on the show immediately and have been a loyal fan ever since.
So when I was asked to review Carmindy’s latest book, get positively beautiful, I tripped over my two left feet zapping back an enthusiastic email. I did manage to have the wherewithal to request a giveaway, and the publishers were so generous they are giving me FIVE copies to give away! YES, FIVE! Three here and two on 5 Minutes for Books!
But before we get to that, let me tell you about the book. I have read it cover to cover. Her overriding theory of beauty is that "a confident face knows its finest features and plays them up." Carmindy starts by demanding that her reader turns off negative thoughts about her appearance and focuses on the fantastic. I love how she encourages us not to compare ourselves to other women, particularly movie stars and supermodels. Throughout the book she emphasizes the belief that there is no set beauty ideal and every woman has unique beauty.
As a Christian woman, I believe that God has made each of us unique and beautiful in our own way. It is not wrong to focus on our assets as long as we don’t allow them to become a point of pride. It IS wrong to tear down what God has created. So while Carmindy may go a bit overboard with her "mirror mantras", I think her overall point is valuable. We will be much happier and more productive if we focus on the good and not the bad. And this book helps us do just that.
I particularly liked it when she said that our pore obsession has become "utterly insane and is a poor use of our energies". I have certainly spent too much time bemoaning the craters pores that have appeared on my post-35-year-old face. Carmindy encourages her readers to embrace their complexion and focus on finding products to showcase it.
In fact, she goes through every facial feature and explains in detail how to make the most of it with makeup and skincare. She breaks it down into several different categories (for example, for the eyes she describes makeup techniques for each eye color and shape) and gives specific instructions for maximizing your assets. She encourages her reader to determine her "feature focus" and start there.
There is a chapter describing the tools you need to optimize your makeup application. Carmindy’s advice is to start collecting the tools that help enhance your feature focus and then build your toolbox as you experiment. I have already added a few new tools to my collection on her advice.
At the end there is a section with before and after shots and descriptions of how Carmindy achieved their dramatic makeovers. I pored over these pages, studying the makeup techniques she used.
This is a book for every woman who wants to make the most of her assets. The advice is practical and affordable. There are even product recommendations in the back.
WIN IT! For your chance to win one of three copies of Carmindy’s get positively beautiful, all you have to do is leave a comment on this post telling me your "feature focus" – your best feature, the one you want to maximize with Carmindy’s beauty techniques. The winner will be selected on Friday. Good luck!

About Jo-Lynne
I love love love Carmindy and WNTW. But I haven’t read her book yet, so thanks for the giveaway opportunity. All my life, people have told me I have gorgeous eyes, so I guess that’d be my focus feature.
I, too, have been a faithful What Not to Wear viewer from the beginning. Don’t you kind of miss Wayne?! Carmindy has always managed to make the participants look fresh, well-rested, and current. Usually just with her “touch of highlight in the inside corners of the eye” and the “perfect pink gloss.” I’d love to read her book and find out the rest of her ideas. Like, where do you find the spray foundation she seems to use?
Oooh – I love “What Not to Wear”! My feature would be my deepset eyes – I like them but it is hard to make them up without making them look even more deepset…kind of a challenge! This 45 year old needs some makeup tips, would love a copy of the book!
Eileen (in Toronto – can Canadians play?)
This book looks fabulous!
My feature focus would probably by mouth — I inherited my dad’s family’s mouth and my husband says it’s my best feature. 🙂 Thanks a ton!

this book sounds great. i would love to play up my eyes! my hubs says he thinks they are beautiful and one of the first things he noticed about me.
Oh, I sooo love WNTW and Carmindy is the voice of reason on makeup. My best feature is probably my eyes but now that I’m in my mid-40’s, I could use a few “tricks.”
I would love to win a copy! I think my best feature is my eyes… they’re blue with flecks of silverish gray. But I have a hard time finding shadows that enhance them! And I can’t seem to get the right balance of eyeliner–it’s either church mouse or street walker! 🙂
I have to say WNTW is my guilty pleasure. I love sitting and watching for hours when they run their marathons. Just wish someone would nominate me 🙂
I have to say my best feature is my eyes. I’m just starting to use makeup (I’m 33) and I can use all the help I can get.
One of my favorite shows is WNTW. Carmindy is amazing! I wish I could say I had a best feature. I’m not sure what it would be. I need help with everything! I’d LOVE Carmindy’s new book. Could I maybe borrow Carmindy too?
I’ve got pretty eyes, but my heavy-duty glasses tend to minimize them. I’d love tips on how to bring them out without looking overly “made-up” and without having to get up thirty minutes early.
Thanks for the giveaway, and please stop by and check mine out!
I absolutely love WNTW. Carmindy is the best at making women forget their flaws and focus on the fantastic! I’d love to be able to do something with my eyes. I do like the color, but with glasses, I need to play them up more.
OH MY WORD! I MUST win this! Thanks!
People used to comment on my eyes but not so much anymore. I’d definitely like to know some tricks to perk them up again.
I LOVE to hear Christian women out here in the blogosphere! Give yourself a high five from me!
I’m a huge WNTW fan. I walked into a store last month and said, I’d like the what not to wear jeans please and the clerk led me straight to the mid rise, straight leg, dark wash jeans. :o)
I would love to learn how to do my Eyes like Carmindy!
Blessings, Whitney
What Not To Wear is one of my all time favorite shows. I love the makeover portion. It boggles my mind how much hair and makeup can change some people.
I think that my best feature/favorite feature are my eyes. They’re a pretty hazel color and I like trying to use Carmindy’s highlighting techniques on them.
My favorite feature is my smile..

My eyes, for sure.
elizardbreath8@hotmail.com
Despite some dark circles under my eyes, I still think they’re my best feature. I like using lavender to play them up – I’ve just recently gotten glasses with a pinkish-purple color on them, and like they way they “pop”.
Please, count me in for your giveaway!
I’d like to play up my eyes… thanks!
I use to think my best feature were my eyes but with age I’ve gotten bad dark circles and would love tips on how to minimize these.
My fav feature would be my eyes.I would love to learn how to enhance them! monk5@charter.net
I think my best feature is probably my eyes. With 3 little ones 4 and under, I’m getting a little “tired” looking, and I’d love to get tips on how to camoflauge that!
my blue eyes
I love this show and watch it whenever i can:) As far as my best feature I would have to say it’s my green eyes- I did enjoy your articles about eye makeup because my eyes change colors too.
I want this book!! I think my eyes would be the easiest feature to play up, I just have no idea how to do it! Does the book give tips on how to keep eyeliner in its place?!?
My eyes, I guess, they could use some help.
GREAT giveaway! My “feature focus” would have to be my eyes. They always have been and I love making them POP! They’re green but change colors, kind of like a mood ring :-). No black for anger though, just green, blue, and a grey. Oh and I also have great eyebrows!
One thing I could use some work on would be lengthening my lashes. They need help and I suck at the curler.
Thanks for entering me and check out my giveaway here… http://thepitterpatterboutique.blogspot.com/

Jo-Lynne,
It’s been fun seeing all of you try out the secrets in this book! I’m with you – I think the eyes have it. 🙂
I have been wanting this book thanks to all the great blog posts about it here! My favorite feature would be my eyes 🙂
I loved Wayne! I have to admit, although I love him now, it took me a long time to warm up to Clinton just because I missed Wayne!
Definitely my eyes.
My favorite feature is my eyes, everyone says there beautiful and I do admit I like them, although I wish they where blue and not green
My best feature would probably be my eyes. Though since I got my braces off a year and a half ago (at age 28!), I’d have to say my smile is a good second. 🙂 Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
I guess my focus feature would be my eyes. They have a little bit of every color in them which I think makes them hazel but after reading Megan’s post I am not too sure. I think I need this book to figure it out.
I am lucky enough to have high cheek bones and would love to play them up a bit!
I’m a huge WNTW fan, too and I LOVE Carmindy 🙂 I have rockstar eyelashes. LOL
This might sound conceited, but after participating in your Blog your face, I think my whole face is my best feature then moving down my body from there. Honestly I’ve come to the place where I love because God made me, and my husband loves me for who I am. It makes me feel more beautiful therefore I am more beautiful!
My eyes. I would love to bring out my eyes.
I love What Not to Wear. My daughter and I watch it all the time; it’s one thing we can agree on to watch!
Gotta love my lips!
I would also have to say my eyes.
As I have aged my eyes tell it all!
My eyes are definitely my feature focus!
I think my eyes are my best feature- I would love to learn how to play them up.
I love What Not to Wear! I would love to focus on my eyes! I definitely could use the help! Thanks for the giveaway!
I too have been watching ‘What Not To Wear’ since the first episode. I love Stacey and Clinton together, they’re the best.
I think my eyes are my best feature, as I’m aging though I feel I need to update my look. I think Carmindy could work magic for me.
I guess my best feature would be my eyes. They change color from day to day. Some days Green others Brown.
Probably my best feature is the one that taught me the best life lesson. When I was a “tweener” I would get teased for having “fat lips”. As an adult, I get so many compliments on having naturally full lips. Funny how life works out, huh?
I have been reading your blog for about 6 mo. and really enjoy the imput. My best feature are my eyes. I am almost 60 so I’d say my least appealing feature (one I’d like to diminish)are now my krinkles. (probably not something she deals with), so then it would be my nose.
I remember the original male host of WNTW, too. I would love to play up my eyes more… They’re a great green but so tired! With two little girls, it’s no wonder!
JLHalsted(at)hotmail(dot)com
My best feature is my skin and I hope to win. Hey…that rhymes!
Hi there! My best feature is probably my skin. I am blessed with a nice peaches-and-cream complexion that requires little upkeep, even on my 45 year old face! I love WNTW — I’m the only female in my house and it’s like hanging out with a good girlfriend. Hope I win!
My favorite feature is my eyes – and I long for a way to truly rid them of my (apparently hereditary) dark circles!
I would like to be able to feature my eyes better.
I love What Not To Wear! And love all of Carmindy’s tips. I would have to say I get the most compliments on my eyes. But I feel like I am in a rut & would love to get some new ideas on how to make them stand out! And I would love to know where she gets the spray on foundation!
My eyes are my “feature focus”.
Thanks for offering it!
princesslimey (at) gmail (dot) com
I would love to read this book! My fave feature – the eyes have it…
I loved Wayne, too! I miss him, I like him better. Loved his hair. I would want to play up my eyes, definitely. They’re my strongest feature. Thanks, I would love the book!
I would love this! I’m studying makeup professionally, and it’s so fun! My best feature are my lips, so I would love to read tips on how to give them an extra flattering appearance.
Thanks!!
My best feature is my dimples, so I’d like to maximize my cheek area.
That’s a tough question! I guess I’ll go with my cheek bones. Not because I really notice them on myself – but because I do tend to notice them on my sister who everyone claims looks just like me.
My eyes! I love the show too, although I don’t remember it without Clinton and I refuse to consider a WNTW without him! 🙂 I already follow some of Carmindy’s techniques for eyes and she is a genius!!
I discovered your blog a couple of weeks ago and have loved reading through the archives. You’ve cost me some money! LOL
My best feature would be my skin and eyes, although now that I’ve entered my 30’s, they’re both taking a beating it seems! I, too, love WNTW, but am a Clinton fan!
I absolutely LOVE WNTW and have watched it for years. I’ve learned so much about how to dress my body type. Carmindy is awesome. My sister has her book and loves it and I’d love to have my own copy, too.
I think my best feature would be my eyes– green is great!
Well, everyone else is saying eyes, but that was going to be my answer too. So, I guess I’ll follow the crowd.
I love What Not To Wear. I think my best feature is my eyes, and since I don’t currently wear any makeup, I would love to learn how to wear makeup appropriately.
Thanks!
amytarnold(at)gmail(dot)com
Love the show and have picked up so many great tips. My best feature is probably my lips. Thanks!
Ooooh….coool!
My favorite features that I would like to learn to play up better are my eyes and my lips.
Oh how I miss Wayne. I totally love Clinton now, but Wayne was awesome. It’s sad that some people would not know him. I think I’ve seen every episode ever, thanks to the beauty of Tivo.
I’d like to learn some new eye techniques!
my eyes are the best feature i like to work on but i seem to have so much trouble! i’m eyeliner-challenged and a bunch of other things all at once so i sure hope carmindy can help me out!
I like my eyes so would love to know how to make them look amazing and get people to look at them and not my chest (I’m rather top heavy lol)
I love my eyes! They are hazel which is really fun but I would love some tricks to play up the green in them. This is a excellent give away
Great Giveaway!! Really would love to read this book.
Green Eyes I guess, since my lips are shrinking away as I edge closer to 40! 😉
my best feature? um, well, i have pretty hazel eyes, and i can’t seem to get them to “pop”. i’d love some help with that!
Sounds like a great book! I like my complexion. 🙂
Considering I have no hair, and my eyebrows are temporary tattoos, and I kind of have my eyes figured out…I have to go with my lips. I have NO CLUE what to do with them.
I love WNTW! My best feature is my eyes. I remember Wayne!
I love What Not To Wear.. I just forget all the tips lol I would love to win the book. I think my eyes!!

My eyes and nose
My focus feature is my eyes.
I love What not to wear and Carmindy. She makes makeup application seem so easy. I love how makes everyone look flawless.
I love my eyes and would love to read how she recommends I make them more vibrant!
Hope I win!
I’m a huge Carmindy fan as well – I think she does such beautiful makeovers; never too much! I do believe that my eyes are probably my best asset, but I would love to learn more tips!
Definitely my eyes!
Thank you for the giveaway!
kerin0874 (at) yahoo (dot) com
I’m told my lips. I probably should do something to spruce them up a bit, can’t handle lipstick though.
thank you!
First of all, Wayne wasn’t bad, he just had terrible hair and you can’t have him as a fashion authority if he is looking like that.
My feature focus is my lips or my eyes, I like to change it up.
I would love this! about 12 years ago I started in the make up business and was in it for about 3 years, I think I have gotten so rusty that this book would help me remember some of my forgotten skills!
My favorite feature is my smile.
thanks so much!
My eyes!
I really love my eyes and with two young children, really need some help perking them back up.
I think my eyes are my best feature.
Thanks for the give away.
I loved Wayne, too. WNTW has been a favorite since season 1. Even my husband enjoys watching it! I would like to go on the show, but I think I’d just cry the entire time. And I like to think I don’t dress THAT badly.
I like my eyes the best. thanks.
I think my eyes are my best feature, but everyone always comments on my cheekbones or skin. We are so harsh on ourselves, this book sounds great. (And helpful!!)
I would really like to accentuate my eyes. I wear glasses and so most makeup disappears behind them. 🙁
I would love this book! I think my eyes are my best feature and would love to show them off.
I would love this book! WNTW is a wonderful show, even my husband has watched it with me!
My eyes would be my best feature if they weren’t hidden behind my glasses these days.
Definitely would play up my eyes. Would love to receive and share this book!
It is all about the eyes. 🙂
I would to have this book! I really enjoy WNTW and Carmindy always looks so great.
I think my best feature are my eyes, however, they must unfortunately be hidden behind eyeglasses.
my best asset is probably my smile, its so disarming 🙂
Thanks for a generous giveaway. I hope I’m the lucky winner.
I would have to say my eyes.
I need help not looking all worn out and tired.
I could use a makeover….honestly!
I would love to win this…my best features are definately my eys.
I’d like to focus on my eye makeup as it’s always a daunting job trying to make the eyes stand out. I try to watch WNTW anytime I see it on tv, as there’re always helpful tips from the experts that I could use. Thanks
Not a huge fan of WNTW, but I can always use tips to look better. I think my eyes and them my smile.
What not to wear is awesome!! My eyes are my best feature, no question. Thank goodness I have them! (:
My favorite and best feature are my eyes. I love learning new techniques.
Hi everyone tells me my cheekbones but I like to highlight my eyes.
My favorite feature is my eyes for sure. I try to play them up, but I’m not sure if I’m doing it well or not. Would love some more pointers!
I like to play up my eyes. Thanks for a chance to win!

rlgrady [at] yahoo [dot] com
I think my eyes are my feature focus. They’re hazel, which I’ve come to love. I used to want blue eyes, but these suit me much better. I love Carmindy. She’s one of the best makeup artists I’ve ever seen.
My favorite feature are my eyes! I’ve always been told that my eyes give me an exotic look.
I would love a copy of this book.
I would love to have a makeover by Carmindy and Nick! I think my best asset is high cheekbones. I’d love some advice on how to make up my eyes. They are an unusual color and I’d like to enhance them.
My favorite feature is my smile
MY eyes!!! very cool giveaway!!
My best feature is my eyes (they’re green, which just happens to be my favorite color, so that’s cool). However, I wear glasses which kind of obscure them, so tips are always nice!
I always thought my eyes were my feature focus, but my hair is what gets attention – it’s red (and I’ve always been too chicken to dye it). Thanks for the giveaway!
Mine would probably be my eyes. Thanks for the great giveaway!
Lindsey
Oh, I LOVE What Not to Wear. My feature focus would have to be eyes. Thank yoU!

Back when we watched TV I really enjoyed WNTW. My favorite feature(s) would have to be my eyes & lips! Thank you!

Thank you!
OOOhhhhh I love Carmindy!! And I’d love the chance to win this book. My eyes are my feature focus I’d pick. Thanks!

I like my eyes! I want to maximize them and minimize the dark circles that surround them!
Help me, Carmindy!
My best feature is my blue eyes, for sure.
I love Carmindy. I have been a fan of what not to wear for years. I have always been amazed with what she can do with the average person to make them look wow. I think that my best feature is my eyes. I would love to make them look better.
My favorite feature is my feet…but I doubt that’s what your going for here. Hmmm…my hubby likes my eyes. Does that count?
I would love to learn how to bring out my eyes! =)
I would love to win! Thanks!
Well, it feels cliche, but my best feature that I want to accentuate is my blue eyes. 🙂
My eyes – definitely my eyes! My best feature, unfortunately becoming “hooded” with the years…
My favorite feature is definitely my eyes! I know that they can be awesome because they are bright green so it would be awesome to learn some techniques to keep them the best feature!
My eyes are my best feature.
I would like to focus on my eyes
My eyes…I just need help knowing how to make them shine.

I think my best feature is my cheekbones
I love Carmindy and am always so interested to see how she changes someone’s look. I need help with my eyebrows, and I think this book would help.
I think my eyes are nice. I like my smile, too. Without glasses, I’d say my eyes are my best feature, though.
I miss WNTW so much since we cancelled our cable. 🙁 But this book would be fantastic…I think my eyes are my best feature and I’d love to get some new tips.
Oo I love Carmindy on WNTW, she’s the reason I watch the show
My favourite feature would be my smile [I recently got off of braces last year and have been smiling at every oppurtunity] and my dimples 🙂 I would focus mostly on my lips/cheeks and keep the eyes soft and subtle
I LOVE What Not to Wear and I totally remember Wayne. I hated his hair. LOL! My feature focus would be my eyes. For some reason I’ve always loved them. I was devastated in 2002 when I got a squamous cell carcinoma on one of my eyelids. But I found a fabulous surgeon who removed it and made my eye lid look almost like new. 🙂 Crisis averted.
it would definitely have to be my eyes!
I would say my eyes. Please enter me in your contest. manyblessing@gmail.com
The windows of our soul would be my best God-given feature-yup the eyes have it! itoo am afan of WNTW and Chic Critique. Blessings!
I love What Not to Wear! It has helped me focus on the good and not the bad. I am reminded of my body now and dressing for it now. It is amazaing how you can look if you dress for your body. I’ve always enjoyed the makeup and hair part of the show too. Carmindy does a fab job of finding the positive and helping the new learner in her chair find the positive too.
I think my best feature to play up is my smile. I enjoy playing with the eyes though!
The love that is inside me 😉
My eyes have it! ilove WNTW
Awesome giveaway! I have pretty thin lips so I would love to know how to make them better.
Wayne was pretty cool… gosh that was a long time ago!
I love What Not to Wear! I think it is so funny to watch the complete turn around of everyone. I even blogged begging for some help on my blog haha.
My feature is definitely my lips. I want fuller lips and I bet she has tons of tips!
Thanks for the giveaway!

I would love to maximize my eyes.
I would love to learn how to enhace my eyes.
My feature focus: my eyes.
I think my smile is one of my best features and I would love to win this book and learn all of her beauty tips and secrets. Thanks!
I would love an opportunity to win this book. As approaching 40 on a fast train, any help would be greatly appreciated. I have always been grateful for my eyes. God did give me nice long lashes. But the bags, dark circles under my eyes seem to draw the attention. Carmindy, please help.
This is a great giveaway. I really could use some “freshening.” I think my lips are my best feature. Thanks!
This book sounds wonderful. I think my favorite feature would be my cheekbones
I had forgotten all about the fact that Wayne was first!!! Now…I think it is probably my lips…they are pretty dang pouty!
thanks
Angie
I like to think my eyes would be my feature. Maybe after reading the book I could figure out some great techniques.
learningmama at yahoo dot com
I love What Not To Wear!! My “best feature” would be my dark blue eyes.
I love What Not to Wear!! (See my most recently blog post!) And I love how Carmindy is able to help women see that they ARE beautiful! 🙂 Anyhow, I love my mostly clear complexion but would love to learn how to play up my eyes. 🙂
My best feature is my eyes – blue and lovely. I would love to know how to enhance them and use goodies like eye liner. Thanks!
Lips. And I love that show.
I guess my favorite feature are my ears, ok dont laugh:) but anyways pretty near perfect in size and shape for my head. Thanks for the chance!
skyskyaa11(at)gmail(dot)com
I would like to focus on my eyes. I think they are my best feature. I have never really learned how to “play them up” correctly.
Whatever happened to Wayne? I love Clinton, but I always wondered what happened to him.
I would love to maximize my lips. Thanks!
i have been wanting this boo. My eyes would probably be my best feature
My best feature used to be my smile… then, because I never wore my retainer, it became a problem for me. I think the feature I’d love to focus on would be my eyes.
lisakay720[at[yahoo[dot]com
I would love to win this. I really want some help with makeup application. I would prefer to enhance my eyes. They’re a very light blue but small. I would love to see what Carmindy would suggest in her book!
i love what not to wear! my favorite feature is my eyes
My focus feature is definitely my eyes. They’re hazel but can look really green.
I would love to know how to play up my eyes.
Wow, I read the entire post (I know most people just skim) and wanted to say that I am also a Christian and I loved your bit about how God doesn’t want us to tear ourselves down. We are made in HIS image and by complaining and pointing out the flaws we’re telling Him, “You didn’t do a good enough job!”
Great reminder and I’m really happy to be entered into the giveaway. Thanks!
Oh oops, disregard this as an entry but I forgot to mention my focal feature- my eyes! Almond-shaped green eyes!
I love WNTW – didn’t know that Clinton was not always around. I have taken so many fashion and beauty tips from the show. My husband tells me my best feature is my eyes – I agree!
I love watching WNTW! I have been told my best feature is my lips….MUAH! But, I need help making my eyes “pop” more.
I am a WNTW watcher too. I’d never want to be the “contributor”, but I wouldn’t mind a few tips. My lips are not my best feature, so I’d like to know how to make them look better.
I’d focus on my eyes. I think they’re my best feature.

I’ve always loved my eyes. I think the eyes tell so much about a person.
I think my eyes are my favorite feature! Thanks
I would do best to focus on my eyes! I love how Carmindy can make any woman look younger and prettier!
Never miss What Not To Wear ~ it’s a favorite in this house. I would love to try some of Carmindy’s routines on my eyes especially. Get an idea of the right colors I should be using! Thanks for the chance to win!
My feature focus… my cheeks. I’ve got cute round cheeks when I play them up with the right makeup. I could definitely use a guide though!
I would feature my eyes.

I love WNTW but I just became a fan about a year ago so I never saw Wayne.
I think I would want to play up my eyes and learn about a good foundation for dry skin that is not cakey.
My blue eyes are what I try to play up! Also love WNTW and have my 7 year old loving it too.
I think my eyes are my best feature. I would love to learn quick tricks to improve them! Thanks!
I would have to say my eyes,big cow eyes and I would like more tips on how to look my best. I enjoy watching WNTW,fun show and I would love to be on it. Count me in to win this fabulous book

Eyes, of course!
I love eyes and how eat set are different, so that’s probably my favorite feature.
I love Carmindy! My best feature would have to be my eyes.
I have spent the past 37 years as a fair complexioned, natural redhead SEARCHING for the right color combination to not make me look like BOZO! (Pink, rose, peach, orange…who knows?!?!) I love WNTW and Carmindy – she makes it look so easy! 🙂
My favorite feature is my eyes 😀
I so love Carmindy! I ask my husband all the time “If I start dressing really bad will you nominate me for WNTW?” I want to go on it just to have Carmindy do my makeup and Nick do my hair! My best feature is my eyes. Everyone thinks I wear colored contacts because they are so blue. Until they see the rest of my family that is, we all have them!
I adore WNTW! My best feature would be my brown eyes with long lashes. However, they are hidden behind my glasses and I cannot wear contacts. : (
I would love to hear Carmindy’s suggestions for that.
My eyes. Thanks for the contest.
I would try to milk all of Carmindy’s tips for enhancing my eyes, which are the lightest shade of blue there is.
Please enter me in this giveaway! 🙂

This is probably a common answer for a lot of people, but… my eyes are always the feature I play up. My nose has a bump on it and smile is a smidge wide (there I said it) so it’s all about the eyes, baby! 😛
(And seriously? Y’all liked Wayne? He gave me the creeps. Was glad to see him replaced by Clinton.)
my best feature would be my eyes-but I also wear glasses
First time visitor but I now have you bookmarked. What a great site. I also love WNTW.
I would have to say my eyes would be my best feature but after turning 40 this year I need some “advice”. (lol)
Thanks for the entry.
Uggh. I’d love to win – but don’t think I could say I have a favorite feature!
I would say my eyes or eyebrows. Thanks.
I am a What Not to Wear addict and I’m always amazed at what Carmindy does with just a little makeup.
My best feature for sure is my eyes, I am clueless with makeup and would love to learn how to highlight them!

I love What Not to Wear, I seriously wish I could be on the show. Carmindy is great and I love how she always makes the women feel beautiful. I hope I win this book. What a great giveaway!!!!
Ooops I forgot to tell you that my favorite feature is my lips
People say they like my smile.
Oh, I would like this! As I get older…things have just changed a bit!
My eyes or my dimples/smile.
Thanks for the cool giveaway!
My eyes!!!
My favorite is my eyes!
What a great giveaway! My mom and I are always saying things like, “Well, Stacy says . . . ” or “Carmindy says . . .” so I’d love to give her this book! The feature I’d want to maximize with Carmindy’s beauty techniques is my eyes (although I already use one of her tips–a bit of white eyeshadow in the inner corners makes your eyes seem larger)!
I love Carmindy as does my tween daughter. This would also be a great book for her as she gets into those tricky teen years. I so badly want her to see that God made her perfectly unique in His image!
I think my eyes would be my best feature that I would use her techniques on…I hope I win!

My eyes are my most complimented feature!
My daughter and I watch this show every Friday. I’m always curious about how to play up my eyes without playing up my dark circles!
I would love to focus on my eyes
I LOVE WNTW! I’d say my best asset is my eyes. I hear ya on the pores/craters…any makeup tips for this mama of 2 would SO helpful!!
