This week’s video blog features one of four beauty tip videos that I worked on with our social media host, Courtney Cason. Courtney and I sat down in front of a makeup mirror where I shared favorite tips and ideas for makeup and explained how I wear it. The first video talks about my under-eye regimen. One of the most frequent makeup questions I get is, “How do I get rid of under-eye circles?” Well, my secret is Dalton Conceal-it Concealer and this tip explains how I use it to hide my under-eye circles from the HDTV cameras at QVC.
You also won’t have to wait three more weeks to see all the Beauty Tip videos. We’ve posted this one and the three others on our YouTube page. After you've watched them, let me know what you think by posting a response to this blog. I hope you enjoy them!
Next week, we'll post part one of my sit-down conversations with Louis Dell’Olio, so don't miss it!
P.S. I wanted to address some FAQs that I have received on my Facebook page…
1) Q: What Hair Extensions do you use?
A: Ken Paves - The long ones I wear are the 21" real hair extensions. I have some of his synthetic as well, but those are the real ones.
2) Q: Could you suggest a really good eye cream please? I have extremely dry skin.
A: If you want more hydration around the eye, I would suggest starting with the Dr. Denese Hydroshield for the Eye, (if you already have the Hydroshield for the face, you can start by using that around the eye, then move up to the Hydroshield for the Eye if you like it). Then follow with the Hope in a Tube for Eye and Lip from philosophy. I like the "Hope in a Tube" both day and night, it is the most emollient eye moisturizer I have found. Some people may prefer using it at night, and something else for day, depending on how dry your eye area is.
A: I always have a peanut butter shake for breakfast, then usually one or two snacks of one of the protein with Greek yogurt combinations throughout the day. Smaller meals every 2 1/2 to 3 hours, so I am usually eating about 5 or 6 times a day.
4) Q: What kind of self-tanner do you use?
A: I love the color of the BE Faux Tan! I like the Kate Somerville towelettes for my face, and sometimes use it under the Faux Tan as well. I also put the Dalton Bronzer over it sometimes to deepen it further.
5) Q: What is the best way to use WEN cleansing conditioner?
A: If you read the label on the WEN bottle, it will give guidelines of how many pumps to use for each size of bottle (the larger the bottle, the more conditioner you get from each pump, so the fewer pumps you need). Use half of the recommended pumps for the first cleanse, rinse, then use half for the second. For example, if the instructions say use 16 pumps, you would use 8, work it in, rinse, then use the other 8 and rinse again. Hope that helps!
6) Q: What Color are your Nails?
A: I use a gel nail, no polish. The whole nail is gel, just like an acrylic, but a different material. My manicurist uses a clear pink first, very much like the color of the "Kiss Me" lip balm from Philosophy, then a layer of semi opaque softer pink. Hope that helps, I love not having to worry about messing up my nail polish.
