With Spring ending and Summer fast approaching, here are few quick seasonal makeup tips from What Not to Wear’s resident beauty guru, Carmindy.

Take your beauty cues from the ultimate authority: Mother Nature. She changes things up; so should you! Play with floral shades like roses and pinks; put away dark shades like wines and burgundies. Sweep a little shimmery golden bronze over self-tanned skin to accentuate your glow. Pink lips look great on self-tanned faces. This combo also makes your teeth appear whiter. A bright coral lipstick topped with a sheer, shimmery bronze gloss perks up your entire face, no matter what your skin tone. For a relaxed and pretty daytime look, add a subtle wash of eyelid color (I like blue or green) and a dab of lip balm.

Talking Makeup is excited to share with you holiday beauty tips from Project Runway star and L’Oréal Paris Consulting Makeup Artist, Collier Strong.

Dramatic, full lashes— Introducing Telescopic Explosion Mascara by L’Oreal Paris, a new mascara with a breakthrough spherical brush offering 360-degree coverage from any (and EVERY) angle. This innovative mascara is designed to reach even the smallest lashes to separate every little lash from root to tip for explosive definition.

Expert Tip: “Layer multiple coats and take advantage of how this brush gets every little lash—especially the corners!” –Collier Strong

Sophisticated red lips—Nothing says instant glamour for the holidays like red lips. Try Colour Riche Anti-Aging Serum Lipcolour in Real Red by L’Oreal Paris.

Expert Tip: “Select a shade that compliments your skin tone based on the undertone of the lipstick itself. Those with fair skin should try reds that have a blue undertone; olive or dark skin should opt for orange undertones.” –Collier Strong

Matte Eye Shadow—Be bold and accessorize any party dress with statement makeup. Try HIP Matte Shadow Duos in any of the five shades.

Expert Tip: “Use shadow along the lash line to give more definition and to blend eyeliner for a softer, smokey effect.” –Collier Strong

Striking eyes—Create evening eyes in just one step by applying dramatic eyeliner. Opt for HIP Chrome Eyeliner in Gold, Silver or Purple.

Expert Tip: “For eyes that really pop, try using the silver or gold liner in the .” –Collier Strong

Designer Rachel Roy has built a following for not only her beautiful designer and diffusion collections (Rachel | Rachel Roy is available in Macy’s stores across the U.S. and on RachelRoy.com) but also her amazing personal style and beauty. Talking Makeup has the scoop on how Rachel expresses her Indian ancestry through her makeup, and as well as her personal tricks to looking bright, fresh and flawless.

BTW- I loved watching Rachel Roy in one of the episodes of MTV’s The City. Are you also a fan?

Q. Have you picked up any great beauty tips or tricks that you can share?
RR: I feel a great mascara can open the eye and instantly make you look as though you’ve have a good night’s sleep, even when that is not the case. I use 2-3 coats of Lancome’s Fatale on the top, bottom, and also on the back of the top lashes.

Q. Do you have a beauty signature? A fragrance or a lip color that you just love to wear?
RR: Because of my Indian ancestry, I love darkly rimmed eyes – a messy eye adds a sexy yet natural look to a classic outfit. To make the eyes smoky, I use Revlon’s Luxurious Color Kohl eyeliner in Black Truffle on the inside of the lids.

Q: What about a lip color that you just love to wear? What do you put on to achieve your favorite look?
RR: Bright lipstick is a way to quickly pop an outfit and freshen up a look a la Ava Gardner in “The Barefoot Contessa.” My favorite bright is MAC’s Morange lipstick – it’s a great way to add a twist to a classic look.

Q. Any last bits of advice?
RR: Another way to make your face pop is to fill in the eyebrows. I use Bobbi Brown’s eye shadow in Navajo.
