Martha Stewart Isn’t Into Botox & Has Used the Same Eyeliner Stick for 7 Years

Martha Stewart is fiercely loyal to her favorite beauty products and beauty experts. In a new interview with Into The Gloss, the lifestyle media mogul said she’s used same cosmetics and gone to the same dermatologist and hairstylist for years. Stewart modeled part-time while she was a student at Barnard College in New York City, so it’s not surprising that just like her highly curated business, her beauty routine has been perfected over the years.
Stewart is not opposed to cosmetic procedures—she believes that you just need to find the right doctor for yourself. “You have to find the artist-doctor,” she says. “I’ve gone to Dr. Orentreich since I was in college just as my dermatologist. But I’m not into Botox though—not yet.”
She has also been using the same possibly long-expired T. LeClerc eyeliner stick for seven years—and unfortunately, you can’t get the same one because it’s been discontinued. You can, however, copy her technique: “I just add water and use a tiny little brush to line the top of the eye and under the lash.” She also uses Lancôme Les Sourcils Définis in 101 Blonde to fill in her brow. “I have one white portion in my brow that’s been that way since I was 19, so I always fill that in,” she says.
Master stylist Frédéric Fekkai has been cutting her hair since she was 19 years old. “[He] was my first serious hair dresser, so I started using his products a long time ago,” she tells Into The Gloss. “I alternate hisTechnician Color Care Shampoo with Shu Uemura shampoo, too.”
Beauty-wise, Stewart may be a creature of habit—but her business is constantly evolving and changing. “I’ve been learning how to cope with long trips and the devastation that long airplane rides wreak on my skin and body. I don’t know how pilots and flight attendants do it.” But in spite of the frenetic and uncertain schedule she leads, she offers a confident resolve that we can all stand to learn from: “I manage it all—I woman it!”
