Self-Help

You're only five minutes away from your most beautiful face—and celebrity makeup guru Carmindy is here to show you how to make those minutes fly!

The key to a gorgeous face isn't expensive cosmetics, complicated makeup regimens, or cluttering your bathroom counter with bottles and tubes—it's using the right products in the right places to enhance your own unique, natural beauty. We know what you're thinking: "Sounds simple, but how do I know what's right and where to put it?" Carmindy, makeup artist on TLC's hit show What Not to Wear, knows exactly what and where—and she's here to share her secrets.

Carmindy believes that the key to a great look is learning how to enhance your best features with sheer washes of color rather than hiding under layers of artificial-looking makeup. In The 5-Minute Face, Carmindy shares her beauty philosophy, offering a practical, easy, and always successful makeup routine that works for all ages and skin types.

The steps for achieving the 5-minute face—from smoothing on foundation to slicking on lip color—are simple. In each chapter, Carmindy provides easy step-by-step instructions on perfecting the makeup technique that's right for your face, including tips on how to decide which products fit your skin tone and how to apply them for optimal results. In addition to the 5-minute makeover, she discusses:

• How to Get Brows That Wow: Learn what brow shape best frames your face.
• What's Age Got to Do with It?: Tricks and trade secrets that keep every woman looking beautiful, from teens to women aged fifty and over.
• Beauty Comes in All Colors: Freckles? Blemishes? Carmindy solves the problems that make finding the perfect makeup for your skin tone difficult.
• Building on the 5-Minute Face: Carmindy shows how to build on the basic face for special occasions, covering everything from sexy dates, to looking right in all-white at your wedding, to mastering hot trends like smoky eyes and metallics.

Accompanied throughout by beautiful photography by Palma Kolansky and Devon Jarvis, The 5-Minute Face is every woman's guide to enhancing their unique and beautiful features with the perfect makeup routine.
