Making Up Easy on FOX23’s Great Day Green Country

Making Up Easy on FOX23's Great Day Green Country on Belle Belle Beauty

With all the innovation happening in the beauty world, we have no excuse to bemoan a laborious makeup routine. Today’s products make getting beautiful easy (and quick). So if you are a makeup minimalist or looking to speed up your routine, these four beauties featured this AM on Great Day Green Country will rock your world:

Anyone else addicted to lip balm? I can’t even begin to tell you how many times I reach for my pot of Nivea Lip Butter that resides on my desk. But some days, whether it be a professional engagement or a good looking Starbucks barrista, you need a little color on your lips. mark girl all butter now lip treat happens to be my perfect balance of tint and moisture. The formula contains shea, cocoa, and mango seed butters. The coverage is moderate and you’ll encounter an uplifting mango/citrus scent.

I might have mastered the at-home self tan but I can’t say I always have time (or really want) to go through the whole process of exfoliation, application and then drying. Suave Visible Glow Self-Tanning Body Lotion kills two birds with one stone: a subtle glow that is buildable while nourishing skin. Almost more preferable than regular self-tanning, you can build a glow until desired depth. And this latest crop of self-tanners doesn’t have that dreaded smell!

Contouring is all the craze and I admit to loving the chiseled look that it gives. But let’s be honest… sometimes you just don’t have time to go through all those steps. Channel your inner Goldie Hawn/Kate Hudson and go for an all over glow. Just swirl a large blush in a hybrid powder like Hard Candy Contouring Face Trio in 3rd Wheel or bareMinerals READY Face & Body Luminizer and use all over the face.

Last but certainly not least, this luxurious multi-tasker is blowing away the beauty world. YSL’s baby doll Kiss & Blush is perfect for on the go (or when you just don’t want to dig through for two products). The unique doe foot applicator with a roller ball coats lips with a matte pop of color. I use my finger to apply on my cheeks to waken the complexion.

I totally fangirl-ed when I was on air right after Hanson. I didn’t listen to them growing up (I’m too old) but they were so charming and cute!

The Best Dry Shampoos On FOX23's Great Day Green Country on Belle Belle Beauty

I absolutely love getting a professional blow out (more on my new favorite place in Tulsa tomorrow on the blog)… to the point that it almost pains me to have to wash out all that beauty. But thanks to a huge influx of amazing dry shampoos lately, we have tons of options to eek out a couple extra days of the perfect style. This morning, I’ll be back on FOX23’s Great Day Green Country chatting about my five current favorite dry shampoos (see segment below).

Candy Corn Nails

Candy Corn Nails // Belle Belle Beauty

I got a little festive for my sixth and last installment of nail art with Suave® and Q-tips® for their awesome ManiCure Pinterest sweepstakes. October might just be my favorite month of the year. I love the cooler temps, football and, of course, candy corn. For a calorie-free treat, try a little candy corn on your digits. Along with getting creative with nail art, I’ll also be sharing tips on keeping skin moisturized and nails looking clean and healthy with a precise finish.

Up first, a little detail about the ManiCure Pinterest sweepstakes– make sure to head over to the Suave Beauty Pinterest page and pin one of my featured looks (or any other looks by my fellow influencers) and copy the pin URL to the Suave Beauty Facebook page to enter for the chance to win Suave® Skin Solutions Body Lotions and Q-tips® Precision Tips cotton swabs or $500 for the ultimate day of beauty and style!

After a couple of weeks of slathering on Suave® Skin Solutions Smoothing Body Lotion with Cocoa Butter & Shea, I really can see that my skin and cuticles look both richer and healthier. After moisturizing, I pushed back my cuticles and prepped nails with a strengthening base coat. Before the base coat, I used a little alcohol on a Q-tips® Precision Tips™ cotton swab to make sure my nail beds were oil-free.

White Base Candy Corn Nails // Belle Belle Beauty

To start, I painted my nails a base coat of a white. You could also use an ivory. Don’t worry if it isn’t completely opaque – the tip of the candy corn is actually a little translucent.

Orange Detail Candy Corn Nails // Belle Belle Beauty

Allow the white base coat to fully dry. For the orange layer, I used a fine nail art brush to paint a border. Close to a half-moon shape, I wanted the white area to be slightly rounded. The Q-tips® Precision Tips cotton swabs come in handy if you need to clean up any mistakes.

Orange Tips Candy Corn Nails // Belle Belle Beauty

I then painted the area from the border to the tips a bright and bold orange. Allow this layer to fully dry. Use the Q-tips® Precision Tips cotton swabs to get a precise line.

Final Look Candy Corn Nails // Belle Belle Beauty

Similar to a French Manicure paint the tips of nails a bold yellow or gold. I opted for a metallic to up the glam level. Or mirror the actual shade on the candy corn for a more authentic interpretation. Finish with a top coat.

Adorned Bare Nails

My fifth installment of nail art with Suave® and Q-tips® for their awesome ManiCure Pinterest sweepstakes is all about intricacy. And what better way to show off details than against a bare nail? Twists on bare nails have been spotted on runways and in the glossies and I’m excited to give my own spin on the trend. Along with getting creative with nail art, I’ll also be sharing tips on keeping skin moisturized and nails looking clean and healthy with a precise finish.

Adorned Bare Nails // Belle Belle Beauty

The last couple of days, I’ve been slathering on Suave® Skin Solutions Smoothing Body Lotion with Cocoa Butter & Shea. The tropical scent is delicious and my skin and cuticles look both richer and healthier. After moisturizing, I pushed back my cuticles and prepped nails with a strengthening base coat. Before the base coat, I used a little alcohol on a Q-tips® Precision Tips™ cotton swab to make sure my nail beds were oil-free.

Adorned Bare Nails // Belle Belle Beauty

To contrast the simplicity of a bare nail, I painted the tips a dark and inky navy. Black would also work well. When painting the tip, often polish will get on the tips of my fingers. The Q-tips® Precision Tips cotton swabs are perfect to clean up any rogue polish and ensure the line is clean and precise.

Adorned Bare Nails // Belle Belle Beauty

Allow this “reverse French” manicure to fully dry. Then, to add more interest, apply a glitter polish to the top third of your nails, overlapping the tip and bare areas. I like to match the glitter to the shade on the tips, but you could also use gold or silver.

Finish with a top coat so that shine is uniform throughout the nails and enjoy this long-lasting manicure!
