Bronzers on FOX23’s Great Day Green Country

Bronzers on FOX23's Great Day Green Country on Belle Belle Beauty

Can you believe we are already halfway through April? This year is flying by. Before you know it, pool season will be here and its accompanying sun-kissed look. But instead of achieving the look with damaging sun rays, fake a glow with the crop of new bronzers that are better than ever. This morning, I am on Great Day Green Country chatting about the best products and how to use them. I’ll post my segment tomorrow, but for now… here is a summary of what I’ll be chatting about.

This season’s formulas are better performing than ever with lasting power and a natural look. The first rule of thumb is use creams on top of creams and powders on top of powders. If you prefer a liquid tinted moisturizer of foundation, try a cream formula like the new NARS Matte Multiple in Vientiane for darker skin tones or Altai for a softer and rosier glow. CoverGirl truMagic bronzer is a killer cream formula at drugstore prices. Also from the drugstore aisles, Revlon Photoready Skinlights in Peach offers a more subtle and luminous glow.

If you prefer powder foundation, reach for MAC Bronzing Powder in Matte Bronze. Not totally matte, there is just a hint of luminous glow with a depth of color that still looks natural. Those with darker skin tones will love bareMinerals READY Bronzer in The High Dive.

There are two techniques to applying bronzer. The first, well known as the “3” method is to sweep color in the shape of a three around the temples, below cheekbones and below the jaw. Reverse the three shape for the other side. This approach lends to a contoured look. Alternatively, apply bronzer to where sun would naturally hit the skin: cheekbones, bridge of the nose and forehead. The outcome is a “just finished a day at the pool” look with a healthy and youthful glow.

Revlon Parfumerie Nail Lacquer

Revlon Parfumerie Nail Lacquer in Beachy on Belle Belle Beauty

This is a new one: scented nail polish. At first skeptical, I have been so impressed with Revlon Parfumerie both as a novelty and as a polish! So to address the question I keep receiving…. does it really smell? Believe it or not, it does! It lasted about a day for me. And it is only noticeable upon dry down so don’t sniff the bottle expecting to get a whiff of something pleasant. I’ve been wearing Beachy (above) for three days without chipping or peeling. It is actually some of the best performing polishes I have tried in a while. The perfume inspired bottle has a plastic top,  functional brush and a significant quantity of polish. Now here is the good news…. Tis’ the season to give! I have one polish (in Wild Violets, below) to share with you, friends. #ShareTheShade! Enter using the widget below.

While I can appreciate bold and artistic shades, I will always gravitate towards natural, nude and soft colors. I’ve amassed quite a collection of products to achieve this look, but I certainly have some favorites. Here is a round up of my all-stars:

Revlon by Marchesa

Revlon by Marchesa Silk Rosette // Belle Belle Beauty

I’ve been so looking forward to trying my Revlon by Marchesa 3D Jewel Appliqués! The problem was I needed an event fun and festive enough to call for using these beauties. This past weekend, I visited old high school friends. While there was lots of work – lots of fun stuff to come here at Belle Belle! – there was plenty of fun. We always manage to have the best time. There is a reason these girls have been in my life for so long!

These limited edition collection of nail stickers are all inspired by Marchesa’s signature designs. Each set has 18 stickers, ensuring you can find the right size for each nail. Apply to a clean dry nail and make sure to press the sticker down firmly. Bend excess over the end of your nail. Use the included file to remove the remaining sticker filing in one direction only. The eight glamorous patterns were pulled from the archives:

Fall Nails By Revlon: Iconic and Hearts of Gold FX

Fall Nails By Revlon: Iconic and Hearts of Gold FX // Belle Belle Beauty
This weekend, I was thrilled to host Tulsa’s Saks Fifth Avenue Fall Beauty and Fashion Trend show. We shared our favorite beauty products and fashion looks, snacked on mini cupcakes and drank up Sofia champagne from those adorable mini-cans. We had a great turnout despite the rainy day. That morning, we woke to our first true drizzly fall storm. Turned out my manicure matched with its same gritty gray. Like the fashion looks we featured, moto jackets, boots and leather, Revlon Iconic was inky, moody and urban.

Fall Nails By Revlon: Iconic and Hearts of Gold FX // Belle Belle BeautyI love Iconic just on its own. It is clean, crisp and a new classic. But if you want to change it up and add a little festivity… Fall Nails By Revlon: Iconic and Hearts of Gold FX // Belle Belle BeautyLayer Hearts of Gold FX on one accent nail. To really amp it up, add a layer of Hearts of Gold FX on all nails for a “starry night” effect. The glitter texture actually can help a manicure last even longer.

Fall Nails By Revlon: Iconic and Hearts of Gold FX // Belle Belle BeautyI particularly liked this glitter formula because it wasn’t hard to remove like others. I have a feeling I’ll be reaching Hearts of Gold FX to layer on other looks all year long.
