Since her Southern California childhood, Carmindy has dreamed of traveling the world doing makeup and meeting inspiring people. Through hard work and an unstoppable attitude, she's made that dream a reality. She's painted faces in the studios of Paris, on the beaches of Brazil, and on the streets of Havana.

Beauty can be overwhelming. Walk by any cosmetics counter or into any drugstore and you’re suddenly surrounded by thousands of products promising to make you look younger, fuller, lusher, thicker, and just about every other “er” you can think of. It sounds too good to be true and most of it is. But who has the time to navigate all the beauty myths out there (or even their own makeup bag!) to find the tricks that will help you be your most beautiful? Can it really be that hard to look and feel your best?
Not anymore! Carmindy, the makeup artist on TLC’s hit show What Not to Wear, is opening her beauty treasure chest and sharing the hundreds of beauty tips and secrets she’s learned on the show and during her years as a makeup artist across the globe. Her new book CRAZY BUSY BEAUTIFUL: Beauty Secrets for Getting Gorgeous Fast is for all the women who are crazy busy but also want to be beautiful without spending hours in front of the mirror and their life savings on creams and powders.
Carmindy is always looking for the next great way to communicate with her fans. She writes a monthly e-newsletter featuring answers to questions submitted through her Web site www.carmindy.com, and is a freelance beauty writer for several other high-traffic beauty Web sites.
