She is eager to share her beauty secrets, and here she offers her tips for makeup on-the-go, whether you only have 5, 10, or 15 minutes to look your best.

For an on-the-go 5 minute makeup application:

1. Start with a cleansed, moisturized face
2. With 29's Line Maker Eye Pencil in Terroir, apply to the outer corners of
the lids to make eyes appear larger.
3. A quick swipe of 29's Conditioning, Volumizing, Lengthening and Curling
all-in-one formula D'Vine Mascara in Vine Noir gives you an instant look
of long and perfectly defined lashes.
4. Then apply an overall sweep of 29's grape seed enriched Press Finishing
Powder SPF 12 to give your face a beautiful, brightening effect while
minimizing the look of any fine lines.
5. With an angled brush, apply 29's Cheek Blush in Berries to define your
cheekbones with a natural, illuminating glow.
6. Finish off your flawless look with 29's Lip Therapy in Hint of Honey to
give your lips a pouty, dewy finish , and you are ready for your day.

For a quick 10 minute makeup application:

1. Start with a cleansed, moisturized face
2. Sweep a quick, easy application of 29's great, lightweight Hydrating
Foundation with SPF 15. This foundation smooths over any fine lines for a
youthful, luminous glow.
3. Apply 29's Line Maker Eye Pencil in Napa Nights, a rich dark navy, along
both the top and bottom lash lines to enhance the whites of your eyes and
give them an instant pick me up!
4. Sweep on 29's D'Vine Mascara in Vine Noir for the perfect,
well-conditioned lashes. An extra bonus is its smell of Napa grapes and
fresh rose petals .
5. Continue the look with a sweep of the cheeks in 29's Blush Rose' for a
healthy glow and well-defined cheekbones.
6. Last but not least, the perfect lips - apply 29's Line Maker Lip Pencil in
Malbec, filling in the entire lip with its moisturizing grape-seed
enriched formula for great staying power.
7. Top off your completed look with Reserves Moisturizing lipstick color,
Berry Stain SPF 20. The benefits of this line will stay with you all day.

The 15 minute makeup application:

1. Start with a cleansed moisturized face
2. For an all day glow and the skin nourishing benefits of grape seed
extract, apply 29's Hydrating Foundation. This lightweight formula evens
out skin tone while fighting free radicals, plus it includes SPF 15.
3. Using 29's super blendable and creamy Concealer-Corrector palette of 4
shades, apply to problem areas to eradicate redness and dark circles. Its
added benefit of grape-seed extract works all day to gradually reduce any
under-eye puffiness. Remember, a little goes a long way.
4. For eyes, 29's Line Maker Eye Pencils are easy to use and won't drag or
tug at the delicate tissue around eyes. Line both top and bottom lashes
for the perfect eye, and pencils come with a smudger on one end to create
the perfect look.
5. Next apply 29's Late Harvest Eye Shadow palette, which comes with all four
shades in one palette for easy and quick application. Begin with the
Toasted Champagne lightly applied all over the upper and lower lid,
Vibrant Tobacco in the crease, Earthy Peach on the inner portion of the
crease, and then blend over the entire lower lid and crease with Touch of
Nutmeg, and finish with Toasted Champagne to highlight right under the
brow arch.
6. Follow with 29's D'Vine Conditioning Mascara, it is like a vitamin bomb
for your lashes! The grape seed infused mascara is moisturizing, curling,
volumizing and lengthening all in one.
7. Then with an angled brush, sweep the cheekbones with 29's Cheek Blusher in
Tuscany for a natural and truly healthy glow.
8. Follow with a light dusting of 29's Press Finishing Powder. It is milled
so finely that the finish feels just like silk and it leaves an
illuminating brightness to your skin.
9. For lips, start with 29's Lip Scrub, First Crush. Apply, rub lips together
and tissue off, for extra smooth and soft lips.
10. Finish off with 29's Line Maker Lip Pencil in Brix, filling in the entire
lip with its moisturizing formula. Top with Reserves Moisturizing Lipstick
SPF 20 in Fine Whine, and for an extra plumping effect top off with a dot
of 29's Dew Lip Gloss SPF 15 in Sparkling Pinot.
