The list of things we could learn from Martha Stewart is quite literally endless, but in recent years the master chef and homemaker has taught us a lesson (or ten!) in aging gracefully. At 83 years old, the American icon barely looks a day past 60 and has always remained candid about her skin-care staples, cosmetic treatments and everything else she does to help herself look and feel good inside and out.
Now, Stewart is celebrating how she looks as she takes part in MAC Cosmetics’ pared-back “I Only Wear MAC” campaign, which centers around the brand’s nude lip shades and features stars posing nearly nude to show off their brand loyalty. As she told People, the shoot did wonders for her self-confidence.
Martha Stewart’s Sultry Shoot With Her Favorite Nude MAC Lipstick
MAC Cosmetics has been pushing the boundaries of the makeup industry from the jump, and its latest campaign is no different, featuring cheeky, almost revealing images with some of Hollywood’s hottest names, including Stewart herself. Draped in a pale pink robe, Stewart seductively chows down on some fresh pickings from her garden, talking about the things in life that “get her nude” to promote her favorite MAC lipstick, the MACximal Sleek Satin Lipstick in Fleshpot ($25).
Opening up to People about the stripped-back shoot, Stewart told the outlet, “[The photos are] charming, and I think they’ll get some attention, I love what I look like in these pictures. They’re almost selfie-like. This fabulous nude color lipstick really makes the face. It’s a beautiful color.” Celebrating her own authenticity and encouraging others to do the same, Stewart added, “It’s no good running around feeling unsure of oneself or not believing that you can get a job done in the right way, so I constantly try to get people to just step up, step up to the job and feel good, and be proud of the result.”
