No, your eyes are not playing tricks on you. I have no makeup on. Yes, I've done it in front of the cameras. I am standing in front of Blushingtin. It is a makeup and beauty lounge where I have enlisted from Bravo's The Rachel Zoe Project, Joey Maalouf, who's going to make me beautiful, I hope, and show me how to do it in the future. So, how lucky am I that Joey is now doing my makeup? And teaching me everything I need to know. Tell me your top five of don'ts in makeup.
