4 Must-Have Beauty Tricks from Carmindy

One of my longtime favorite shows is TLC's What Not to Wear, which features makeup artist Carmindy who is known for giving WNTW participants natural-looking, real world-ready makeovers. In this month's Glamour I found some tips from the makeup artist herself:

1) You can pull off red lips.
"Try a gloss and don't swipe it all over. Put some on your pinkie and dab it onto your lips--you'll get color and shine, but it won't look gooped on."

2) Look fresh after a long flight.
"Hydrate halfway through by spritzing your face with water, then reapplying moisturizer and lip balm."

3) Customize your moisturizer.
"Add a couple of drops of essential oil and liquid luminizer to any bottle of unscented body lotion. It smells great and gives your body a glow."

4) An easy skin refresher:
"Fill up your sink with [lukewarm] water, add a cup of apple cider vinegar, then splash your face about 10 times. Rinse with cold water. It's the best toner!"
