If there’s one thing Martha Stewart, my mom, and I have in common, it’s our beauty regimens. Believe it or not, the 83-year-old star and my 60-year-old mother swear by the same skin care and makeup products I use at 25. Not only are the following formulas multigenerational and liquid gold, if you ask me, but—it gets better—they’re all available on Amazon starting at just $8.
Below, browse through the formulas that earned stamps of approval from Stewart, a picky beauty editor, and a beauty editor’s picky mom (a truly impressive feat!). You’ll find a brightening vitamin C cream, wrinkle-filling collagen mask, and skin-smoothing body lotion from Mario Badescu. Plus, don’t miss our splurge-worthy hack for treating pesky under-eye circles, and the secret behind our dewy summer complexions. And if you act quickly, you can get your hands on our go-to lengthening mascara while it’s less than $10 for a limited time. (Trust me, run!)
Martha Stewart-Used Beauty
Mario Badescu Super Collagen Mask
Amazon
My mom and I share an Amazon account, and the Mario Badescu Super Collagen Mask is undoubtedly the most-purchased product in our order history. Once I saw the impressive effect that the plumping, line-smoothing product had on my mom’s skin, I knew I had to snag it for myself—and I’ve been a loyal fan since. Stewart’s facialist previously confirmed that the multi-hyphenate swears by the collagen-packed formula too; judging by her bouncy, youthful complexion, I don’t doubt it.
Mario Badescu Super Rich Olive Body Lotion
Amazon
Another Mario Badescu product we’ve pledged our allegiance to? The $15 Super Rich Olive Body Lotion is my holy grail body care pick. It smooths my sensitive eczema-prone skin, and makes me smell incredible in the meantime. Naturally, I got my mother hooked on the budget-friendly formula, and Stewart’s facialist confirmed it’s also a “long-time favorite of Martha Stewart.”
Mario Badescu Vitamin C Cream
Amazon
Clearly, we’re all superfans of Mario Badescu, considering this Vitamin C Cream is another holy grail among Stewart, my mother, and I. The rich formula brightens stubborn dark spots and evens out hyperpigmentation. After just a few months of use, I’ve noticed a significant difference in my complexion.
L’Oréal Paris Makeup True Match Lumi Glotion
Amazon
This summer, my mom and I are sporting a sun-kissed bronze minus sun damage thanks to the Stewart-used L’Oréal Paris Makeup True Match Lumi Glotion. The illuminating skin tint delivers a natural-looking glow and looks great both solo and layered under makeup. The three of us certainly aren’t the only fans of the gem—Bella Hadid, Elle Fanning, and Heidi Klum use it, too.
Maybelline The Falsies Surreal Extensions Mascara
Amazon
Speaking of makeup bag must-haves, this Maybelline mascara is so lengthening that people ask me if I’m wearing falsies when I have it on. And, you guessed it, Stewart and my mother are fond of the formula, too.
Peter Thomas Roth 24K Lift-and-Firm Hyrdra-Gel Eye Patches
Amazon
The first time that I tried the Peter Thomas Roth 24K Lift-and-Firm Hyrdra-Gel Eye Patches, my mom immediately placed an order. Considering we share the same genetic dark circles, the cooling and smoothing under-eye patches work wonders for both of our complexions. I’ll admit, they’re a bit of a splurge, but I can attest that the pack of 60 patches is well worth it. The colloidal gold-infused patches make anyone feel like a celebrity. Plus, they’re among Stewart’s beauty favorites, according to her makeup artist.
Head to Amazon to shop these Stewart-approved beauty finds while they’re available from $8.
