I’ve undoubtedly had regrettable moments on the pink carpet. After I was youthful particularly, I didn’t insert myself and say, “Dangle on a second, it simply doesn’t really feel like me.” I believe as a result of I grew up the way in which I did, it doesn’t take a lot to make me really feel like on a pink carpet that I’m in a dressing up. So I’ve by no means been in a position to put on one thing tremendous avant-garde or tremendous, even, asymmetrical.
I used to be so fortunate and was given a star on the Stroll of Fame. My hair is in a low bun on one facet, and it appears nice; it was an ideal coiffure. I believe it was Renato [Campora], and he did an exquisite job. It simply wasn’t me.

I’m so fortunate as a result of I’ve labored for Neutrogena for about 17 years or one thing—a extremely very long time. So I get to speak to them and study what is admittedly efficient for pores and skin. I do know that at my age, it’s hyaluronic acid, it’s retinol, it’s vitamin C. So it’s a mix of these issues that I actually use. I actually use the retinol serum and the retinol eye cream, or I’ll use the hyaluronic acid. And I commerce off, since you don’t need to use retinol each evening.
Make-up-wise, there are some things I actually love. I actually love the Westman Atelier Very important Basis Stick. There’s so few issues that I exploit and run out of and purchase once more, simply because I don’t actually pay that a lot consideration. I’ve my Advantage and my Neutrogena, however in any other case, it’s no matter [product a makeup artist] has left at my home. However on this case, I actually do love that basis stick.
Switching over to your love of cooking, what’s crucial staple in your kitchen?
Properly, I’ve a few issues that I can’t dwell with out. Considered one of them is that this fundamental olive oil cruet factor that I’ve had from Williams Sonoma without end—I can’t think about a kitchen with out it. You know the way one thing so nicely that precisely how a lot to pour? We like it. Then Reese [Witherspoon] gave me a salt egg; it’s a bit egg that you simply put your Diamond Crystal salt in. It’s traveled with me all over the place. I like it a lot and I can’t think about my kitchen with out that salt egg; it’s my favourite factor.
What’s your go-to snack for when you haven’t any time to prep something?
An apple and peanut butter is my favourite go-to snack. My favourite fast meal if I’ve thought forward (and you must have thought forward) is after I’ve marinated some contemporary ahi tuna and brown rice.
What do you hope to show your youngsters—particularly your daughters—about magnificence?
I like that they appear within the mirror and like who they’re—that’s the most lovely. Probably the most lovely factor you may have is a smile in your face, and being keen to smile at strangers is just about the happiest factor you are able to do. So I at all times simply encourage all of my youngsters, “Look much less within the mirror and look extra at different folks.”
What’s the very best piece of magnificence recommendation you’ve ever gotten?
My favourite quote got here from dermatologist Doris Day, who I labored with as soon as for Neutrogena. She stated, “Nothing appears higher in your 50s than sunscreen in your 20s.” Or 30s. Or 40s—you simply must put on sunscreen. So the very best recommendation could be to put on sunscreen, don’t smoke, and smile at folks.
