Some days it's all a girl can do to brush on some powder and mascara before leaving the house. No problem, says Carmindy, makeup artist extraordinaire of TLC's What Not to Wear. She believes in less makeup with more impact, a motto any girl on the go can get behind. Carmindy, author of The 5-Minute Face, has penned a new book with 600 skin care and makeup tips along with illustrations (for those of us who still can't put on eyeliner straight) to help every woman channel her inner "glamazon." For instance, your kindergartner's Elmer's Glue works as well as a pore strip to remove pesky blackheads on your nose. Who knew? Carmindy will sign copies of Crazy Busy Beautiful: Beauty Secrets for Getting Gorgeous Fast 7 p.m. Monday at Legacy Books in Plano, 7300 Dallas Parkway, Suite A120.
