"Less is always more," she instructed, explaining how her routine during the summer months often simply involves just two products: eyeshadow and mascara.
However, Carmindy warned women over 50 against deploying a classic makeup product that might take many by surprise: eyeliner.
"Skip eyeliner because it's too harsh during the summer and, instead, use an eyeliner brush to pick up a dark contour shade and lightly smudge this just at the outer corners of the lashes," she explained.
