Late Night Beauty Call: Nicki Minaj

Arianne Suggs July 25, 2014July 25, 2014Leave a Comment

Nicki Minaj has made quite a stir with the release of her cover art for her forthcoming album which drops on July 28. Fans and beauty enthusiasts have been noticing Nicki’s style changes over the past few months. Gone are the colorful locks, one of a kid outfits, dramatic eye as well as lip tints. In their place Minaj has been serving up a big dose of natural beauty, which is why we have dialed her up!

Although we enjoyed seeing Nicki’s risk-taking looks we are enjoying her more subdued makeup. She’s a gorgeous woman who truly doesn’t need any extra bells and whistles to look fabulous. We wish we could have this Moment For Life and talk about Nicki all night, but our call has come to an end. We think the beauty lesson for tonight is that less is more.

Our phone lines have been ringing busy for our beauty of the night so we decided to give this gorgeous lady a call. Many have loved her since the days of ATL and she still looks as fabulous as ever. You have probably already guessed it, but we have dialed up Lauren London!

It is always tough narrowing down our favorite looks for our spotlighted beauties and tonight proved to be no different. However, we love Lauren’s bold lip colors and nude face makeup looks which celebrity makeup artist AJ Crimson is making possible with his new line of cosmetics. Talented, beautiful and very stylish London makes a perfect beauty call.

Beauty Quickie: This myth is actually true…burying your face in your pillow may not be the best idea. Sleeping on your side for extended amounts of time can cause wrinkles to form around your peepers prematurely. So if you are trying to get your hands on the fountain of youth you can start by sleeping on your back. It may feel funny at first, but trust your face will literally thank you later.

Clean as a Whistle

Beauty Quickie: Do not over clean or wash your face. If you completely strip your skin of all nutrients you run the risk of developing dryness and irritation. Maintaining your skin’s natural oils are actually beneficial for having great skin. It is your skin’s natural oils that can help combat acne as well as premature aging. When purchasing a facial cleanser always shop for one that is PH based.

Beauty Quickie: When is the best time to apply firming creams to your skin?
