A sun-kissed complexion is an easy way to make teeth look whiter. Brush on a bronzer if your skin is looking sallow, but "avoid ones with gold sparkle, which can enhance yellow," says Carmindy, makeup artist from TLC's What Not to Wear.
Well known for her makeovers on TV's "What Not to Wear," Carmindy helped create the natural and 100 percent paraben-free Natural Beauty lineup.
The makeup artist on TLC's What Not to Wear (and co-creator of Sally Hansen Natural Beauty) shares five favorite tips from her new book.
Power base: Foundations with lifting and firming ingredients plus light diffusers can give the impression of complexion perfection. New York City makeup artist Carmindy is a fan of La Mer the Treatment Creme Foundation SPF15 ($85). "It goes on like a dream and makes every complexion look immaculate, luminous, and better rested," she says.

'Dated make-up will instantly add 10 years to your real age.' says Carmindy. 'Thick, heavy textures and dark, matt colours suck away at your skin's natural radiance. Instead, go for fresh, light finishes with light-reflecting ingredients,' she says. 'But the most common ageing mistake has to be eyebrows. Over-plucking in a bid to look groomed just makes your features look harsh.'
Carmindy says: "The littlest bit of makeup can unleash a wave of self-esteem."
