Martha Stewart Breaks Beauty Rules Because She “Likes to Glow”

At the Martha Stewart dinner, there were no spoons, forks or individual petal It will never be right in a flower arrangement. But what about her beauty routine? Well, the lifestyle mogul isn’t afraid to use products wherever she likes, regardless of their intended purpose.

As she shares her beauty secrets with everyone FashionThe 84-year-old showed off a bottle of Mario Badescu’s AHA plant-based body wash. “This is the soap I use on my face,” she said. Yes, body wash! Why stop violations there? Stewart applies her own version of Elm Bioscience’s A30 Elemental Night Cream in the morning, applying it to her décolleté with a layer of Alastin HydraTint Pro Mineral Sunscreen.

While Stewart takes great care to protect her skin from UV rays, her makeup routine delivers a sun-kissed effect. “I’ve been using L’Oréal Lumi Glotion ever since it was given to me during a small social media campaign,” she says. “It gives you such an important glow. I love glow. I don’t like matte finishes on anything. I like my furniture to have a glossy finish, and I like my face to have a glossy finish.” Adding more “cheeky” color with a trio of Charlotte Tilbury Bronzer, MAC Luminous Blush, and Lancôme Highlighter, the Elm Biosciences co-founder took a little more time to rave about the gloss.

“What I really love about the new makeup trend is its sheen,” she says. To bring the trend to her lips, Stewart applied a layer of Armani Beauty liquid eyeshadow to her lips. “I went to Sephora and bought all the colors,” she said, applying a brownish-pink frost color to her lips. “See? It’s kind of metallic, shiny…who knew you could use eyeshadow on your lips?”

Of course Stewart knows, but that’s the last beauty tip she has time for today. “I have things to do and places to go,” she said. “I’m a very busy person.” Just like that, the legendary hostess let out a sparkling “Goodbye, bye.“
