Martha Stewart Doesn't Need A Full Face Of Makeup To Look Incredible

Martha Stewart isn't hiding behind a thick layer of foundation, contouring, or heavy glam makeup. Instead, the master of all things domestic has no hesitation about flaunting her natural skin, regardless of her age. Of course, with a glow like that, who wouldn't be sharing selfies?

In May 2025, Stewart shared a mirror snap, captured while her hair was being blown out at Gloss. Despite the casual Instagram photo and mere traces of makeup, Stewart's skin is practically flawless. Plus, her high cheekbones could cut glass. "Martha what is your secret? You look fantastic!!!!" wrote one commenter. "Watch out boyzzzz. 👀," added another. Even in her 80s, Stewart still has an envy-inducing pout and incredible bone structure. As in this photo, lightly applied makeup allows her incredible skin to take center stage. It's a masterclass in sidestepping the makeup mistakes that can age you; instead, the focus here is on impeccable skin. Selfies are just another of the trends that Martha Stewart proved women at any age can rock.

This isn't the first time Martha Stewart has shared a photo of herself with pared-down makeup. In 2023, she shared another Instagram selfie from the hair salon, this time while her tresses were being shampooed, and offered some insight into her skincare routine: exercise, dermatologist, a healthy diet, and forty years of Frederic Fekkai facials.

Even her red carpet makeup tends to opt for a natural look, with minimal contouring, subtle eye definition, and soft pink lip colors. This approach to beauty works for Stewart because her natural skin remains so beautiful, which she credits largely to excellent self-care. In a 2023 Sports Illustrated cover story, she insisted that, while she's experimented with fillers and a little Botox, she's never had any plastic surgery. "I drink green juice every day," she explained. "I take my vitamins. I eat very healthfully. I have very good skin doctors. I'm very careful in the sun. I wear hats and I wear sunblock every single day" [via TODAY]. There's a reason SPF is one of our expert's no BS ways to prevent wrinkles.
