Carmindy put a section in the back of her 5 minute on cheaper ($)& expensive ($$$) beauty tools. If you can get a copy of the book (I borrowed mine from the Public Library), you should be able to see the brand names she suggests.

Where can I find Carmindy’s eyelash curler she uses for Asian eyes?

My worst makeup blunder is in my graduation pictures. I am a simple makeup kind of girl, so I wanted to look natural and pretty in my portraits. Well, I only had a few makeup products at the time. I had black kohl eyeliner, a sheer shimmery purple lipstick, and gold lipstick (I know you are probably shaking your head right now). I used the sheer purple lipstick on my lids as eyeshadow and then used the gold lipstick as a highlighter for my brows. Finally, I lined the outer corners of my upper and lower lashes. I love my eyes!

Then onto my lips, I applied lip balm and the gold lipstick, but I usually apply lip liner first. Well, I did not have any lip liner, so I lined my lips lightly with the black eyeliner! I’m African American and I usually use a brown lip liner, but I didn’t have it with me that day and I didn’t want my lips to look undefined so I used the black eyeliner.

Now I have a constant reminder of my worst makeup blunder every time I look at my graduation pictures at family and friends’ homes especially in my house because I have a 10×13 shot of me in my office.

I went through a ‘phase’ a few years ago during which I thought it was ’sexy’ to smudge my lipstick above my lip. I was under the impression that the smudge made my lips look fuller and poutier. The smudge apparently wasn’t subtle. I became aware of this dismaying fact the day my attractive male co-worker told me I looked like an old lady who couldn’t keep her hand steady long enough to apply her lipstick accurately. Um, oops.

I can’t seem to find the right color foundation it never matches my neck color and I use it heavily. One day I went to my cousins wedding and when I went to hug the bride my makeup rubbed off on her beautiful very white wedding gown!
