I'm trying to save money in this economy and I really don't want to spend any more cash on makeup. How can I look fresh with the cosmetics I already have?
Carmindy:
That's easy! Simply combine or layer old colors together to create new shades. If you have a deep lipstick blend it together with a lighter gloss to create a pretty new sheer lipstick. If you have a shimmering shade of eye shadow mix it with a darker matte one to invent a fab fall hue.

Is there any way to wear deeper wine shades of lipsticks without the color making my small lips look smaller?
Carmindy:
Yes by going for sheer sparkling wine shades. The sheerness and sparkle will reflect light making the lips stand out. You can also use a Q-Tip to trace the outer rim of your lips first with my Natural Highlighter in Pink Luster. This will make lips look full and pouty.

Eyeliner always disappears throughout the day. How do I make it last?
Carmindy:
First prep your eyelids with a little shadow base or foundation then set it with powder. Next use my waterproof Forever Stay Eye Pencil to apply a smooth line that will stay all day long.
