Martha Stewart’s Beauty Secrets at 84
Martha Stewart is showing that aging gracefully is totally achievable. In a new Vogue video titled “Get Ready With Me,” the 84-year-old lifestyle icon shares her makeup-free morning routine, giving fans a glimpse into her daily life.
In the video, Stewart wears pale blue lace lingerie and a matching robe, accessorizing with gold earrings and maintaining her trademark stylish blowout.
Skin Care Routine
Stewart’s beauty routine is quite detailed. She explained that it begins the night before, transitioning to what she describes as contrast therapy in the morning. This involves using a hot towel to open her pores, followed by a cold compress to tighten them. “This just soothes my skin,” she notes. “And it gives me a refreshing feeling.”
She emphasizes a holistic approach to skin care—believing that what you consume internally influences your skin. She takes supplements from her brand, Elm Biosciences, reiterating her viewpoint that wellness starts from within. “Whatever you put inside will reflect what comes out on the outside,” Stewart stated. Following this, she applies night cream and finishes with mineral sunscreen.
Makeup Preferences
When it comes to makeup, she doesn’t go for heavy applications. Instead, she favors a luminous look. Using L’Oréal Lumi lotion as a base, she mixes it with Charlotte Tilbury bronzer, MAC blush, Lancôme highlighter, and Armani eyeshadow. “I like glitter. I don’t like matte finishes on almost anything,” she shares. “I like my furniture to be shiny. I like my face to be shiny too.”
While revealing aspects of her beauty routine, Stewart also shared her philosophies on aging. She sees it as a form of discipline rather than a decline and remains active in running her business, pursuing creative projects, and staying fit even in her 80s.
A Perspective on Aging
In a recent podcast appearance on 50 & Unfiltered with Sean Killinger, Stewart elaborated on the importance of healthy living as non-negotiable. She highlighted routine, structure, and personal standards as key elements of healthy aging. Among the principles she shared, the value of mindset stood out as being equally crucial to maintaining one’s health.
