" Our beauty editor shook hands with Carmindy, the makeup artist from TLC&amp;#039;s hit show What Not to Wear \u2014 then watched in amazement as the TV pro transformed a woman&amp;#039;s face using only a couple of Q-tips (and great products, of course). The handy cotton swabs couldn&amp;#039;t be cheaper ($1.30 for a Purse Pack at drugstores), but Carmindy says they can do the job of almost any tool. Here, her best Q-tips tips:  Awaken your eyes. Use one end of a swab to sweep a light-brown shadow from lashline to crease. With the other end, apply a touch of gold or bronze shimmer to the inner corner of each eye (a trick that&amp;#039;s easier to do with a swab than with any traditional makeup tool, says Carmindy). Wipe away mistakes. Forget about having to wash your face and start over: Dip a Q-tip into your foundation and you&amp;#039;ve got a handy little eraser to fix eyeliner flubs, splotchy blush, and those annoying mascara dots.  Create cheekbones. Swipe a swab over gold eye shadow, then lightly draw a curved line from your temples to the apples of your cheeks for a subtle, sculpting glow.
