I am gearing up for the Golden Globes and all of the beauty do’s and dont’s that will be making their way down the red carpet on Sunday. Usually I love most of what I see and try to report back as quickly as I can. In the meantime I have a few beauty secrets to share with you that I call my “mini miracles”.

Have you tried this? Give your eyes a lift when you opt for a softer palette instead of the usual dark smoky eyes. Try a soft pale shimmer in beige or champagne and apply to the lid. It gives the eyes an instant pop and looks beautiful.

How about this…Didn’t get enough sleep the night before? No problem, using a flesh toned pencil trace your lower lash line and wake up those eyes. You’ll look like you had eight hours of sleep. Who knew?

Get fuller looking lips instantly…A bit of gloss applied to the center of your lower lip and cupid’s bow gives the appearance of fullness.Try a dusky pink or soft nude hue.

You may not have been born with chiseled cheekbones but you can certainly fake them and give your face a lift. Add contour by using two tones of cream blush to your cheeks. Start by applying a rosy hue on the apples, and then finish by blending a bit of bronze cream blush below the cheekbones. The result is very pretty definition and a youthful fullness.
