How To Replicate Martha Stewart’s 10-Minute Makeup Routine

Martha Stewart is the queen of everything home and living, bringing us countless recipes, house decor tips, and cleaning tricks through her website, product lines, and TV shows. The 80-year-old businesswoman has amassed a whopping $400 million fortune through her public company Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia (via Investopedia), namely because of the strength of her brand. Stewart's name is synonymous with reinventing classics while highlighting the traditions we should all go back to once in a while, and it's no wonder fans are now also following her timeless beauty routine.

The home living expert sat down with Allure to share her everyday, 10-minute morning beauty ritual, including products, application tips, and witty commentary peppered throughout. We've learned everything Stewart uses for prepping, moisturizing and protecting her skin before makeup. When it comes to makeup application, it's all about dewy bronzers, glowy highlighters, gorgeous, hydrating lip glosses, and an eyeliner that's no longer on the market (but we've found one she loves just as much).

The first step? Everything skincare

Stewart's skincare routine is jam-packed with hydrating, skin-plumping products she swears by. She explained in a recent YouTube video that she has a "very strict regime" to keep herself "looking good." She loves Mario Badescu AHA Botanical Body Soap ($8) for both face and body, which she alternates with Yon-Ka Lait Nettoyant Cleansing Lotion ($45) that removes makeup and impurities. All about ease and functionality, Stewart explains that she uses the same toner-serum for her face and body after showering: none other than the super luxe Susan Ciminelli Marine Lotion ($195). When she prefers something just a bit more "refreshing," the 80-year-old instead opts for Yon-Ka Lotion Yon-Ka PS Hydrating Mist ($45) all over her face.
