Makeup-Artist to the Stars Carmindy, Talks About Getting Spring/Summer Ready

Love Carmindy, she has great beauty tips every woman can use and more importantly a message of positivity.

Make-up artist to the stars and “What Not To Wear” beauty expert, Carmindy, sat down with Paltalk’s Diana Falzone and discussed several tips on improving oneself; inside and out.

Below are some of her beauty tips on how to get spring/summer ready!

On Skincare:

The importance of good skin – “Skincare is the most important thing because you have to start with a good canvas before you swipe on lip gloss or lipstick.”
Exfoliate at night – If your skin is oily, exfoliate every other day, for normal skin exfoliating once or twice a week will suffice.
Secret Beauty Tip – Carmindy recommends exfoliating with granulated white sugar. Simply gently buff onto a wet face.
**Exfoliating after shaving prevents ingrown hairs which can be especially important for men after shaving.

Improving your outlook on life and self:

Make an effort to treat other women positively. Don’t criticize, compliment.
Stop buying gossip mags; articles about celeb beach bodies or stars without makeup doesn’t do anything for self esteem.
Stop the compare and despair game and focus on being the best you can be.
Carmindy stresses, ““I don’t care about what size or shape you are or how you look, it’s all about how you feel and what you can accomplish each and every day.”

Angelina Jolie lands $10 million modeling contract with Louis Vuitton!

We haven’t seen Angeline Jolie as a model in a while. Her last modeling campaign was for the clothing line St. John. Jolie modeled for the label for 3 years. She’s also been the face of Japanese beauty comapny Shiseido.

Those are both relatively small brands – compared to the new brand she just landed, Louis Vuitton!

Angelina Jolie just bagged a lucrative endorsement deal. E! News has learned exclusively that Jolie is set to be the face of an upcoming worldwide ad campaign for designer Louis Vuitton. The print-only campaign, which is scheduled to launch this summer, will be marketed globally…

A source familiar with the deal between Jolie and the French fashion behemoth tells E! News that the actress will get paid “close to $10 million” for her high-end endorsement deal, believed to be the most lucrative of her career.

We hear that Annie Leibowitz will do the photo-snapping honors within the next couple of weeks.

A rep for Louis Vuitton had no comment. Jolie’s publicist did not return calls seeking comment.

Jolie, who last year ended a long-term endorsement deal with St. John and recently launched a jewelry line, has long been a fan of the brand, often sporting its handbags in public.

Past celeb endorsers of L.V. have included Jennifer Lopez and Madonna.
