I didn’t set out to do it, but I have spent the last few years gathering every possible tidbit of insight into Martha Stewart’s beauty routine. It’s a very well-curated mix of high and low products ranging from $10 to $2,695. Plus, she recently distilled half a century of expertise into her own skin care brand and its inaugural anti-aging serum and sophomore launch, the A3O Elemental Night Cream.
Such is her influence that many of these products are often completely sold out or popular shades are out of stock—seize the opportunity while you can.
Mario Badescu Super Rich Olive Body Lotion

Martha Stewart’s Skin Care Routine
My beauty routine consists of everything from a $6 (currently $4) lip liner to a $228 serum. And Martha Stewart is just like me, for real—the most inexpensive product in her skin care routine is a $10 Mario Badescu body lotion, and on the very polar opposite end, the most expensive is a $2,695 laser device.
Elm Biosciences A30 Elemental Serum
Elm Biosciences
I imagine it’s hard to pick a favorite child, but if you are to walk away with a singular product from this list, it should be the Elm Biosciences A30 Elemental Serum. Stewart and dermatologist Dhaval Bhanusali, MD, spent a whopping five years developing it. The payoff is an antioxidant-rich anti-aging formula that plumps wrinkles, brightens skin, and smoothes texture while reducing inflammation.
Clé de Peau Beauté Eye Contour Cream Supreme
Nordstrom
I can count on one hand the number of times this luxe Japanese eye cream has been on sale. It’s often out of stock, even at its full price, so nab this rare deal before the inevitable happens here. The formula’s retinol, ginger, and citrus increase the production of both collagen and elastin and improve circulation, thus reducing puffiness and dark circles. This all leads to firmer, glowier skin.

Martha Stewart’s Makeup and Fragrance Routine
You don’t have to look very hard to find out how to replicate Stewart’s always-radiant and seamlessly undetectable makeup. She relies on attainable shopper favorites like L’Oreal’s $13 True Match Lumi Glotion Skin Enhancer (Andie MacDowell and Heidi Klum are also fans)—which has more than 37,000 five-star ratings—and celebrity-loved staples like Merit’s all-in-one complexion stick.
Merit The Minimalist Perfecting Complexion Foundation Stick
Sephora
All of Stewart’s fragrance and makeup go-tos are covetable, but Merit’s the Complexion Stick is arguably the best bang for your buck since it can be used as a foundation, concealer, contour, and/or highlight, according to user preference. Its dedicated fanbase is thanks in part to its aforementioned multi-uses, but also because it goes on nicely without a primer, has a pore-blurring effect, and is chock-full of hydrating and brightening skin care ingredients.
