Carmindy was raised in Southern California where she started doing makeup 15 years ago — it's the only job she has ever wanted and the only one she has ever had! She soon moved to Milan, Italy, to further her career, and then to South Beach Miami, and finally to New York.

Carmindy loves traveling to exotic places to practice her art on what she calls "new and inspiring people." Some of these people have included Cindy Crawford, Isabella Rossellini, Heidi Klum, Bjork, Ricky Martin, Molly Shannon, Ricki Lake and Christie Brinkley, to name a few. Her work can be seen in the editorial pages of magazines such as Cosmopolitan, Elle, Vogue, GQ, Essence, Details, Marie Claire and InStyle.

Carmindy's watercolor approach to enhancing a person's natural radiance gives a unique look, reinforcing her catch phrase: "Using the right products in the right places."
