Add Page Six on Google Page Six got a sneak peek at Martha Stewart’s latest go-to beauty buy — and it’s not for the faint of heart.
The domestic queen raves about Lancôme’s new La Vie Est Belle Very Cherry Eau de Parfum in a new clip, saying a fragrance “should leave an impression long after you’ve left.”
Sharing that a “finishing touch” is more than merely decorative, it should be transformative, the media mogul confides that the golden rule applies to your perfume as well.
Noting that the new scent opens with a “beautiful burst of cherry” that’s “impossible to ignore,” the Lancôme ambassador says what makes it irresistible lies beneath the surface notes.
“What makes it interesting, the warm woody oud is unexpected yet sophisticated,” she revealed.
“That’s what a finishing touch should do. It should add something. If it doesn’t, I’d leave it out,” she quipped.
The domestic doyenne calls the new fragrance “unexpected yet sophisticated.” Lancôme Made in France, the latest in the cult-favorite La Vie est Belle fragrance collection has notes of black cherry (of course) and violet leaf. Deeper in the scent, oud is warmed with cocoa butter absolute and Madagascar vanilla, for a sophisticated dry-down that shoppers agree is addictive. (Though La Vie Est Belle Very Cherry was recently released, it’s already earned hundreds of five-star reviews at Nordstrom alone.)
Better yet, if you’re looking for a Martha-approved glow, her longtime makeup artist Daisy Toye shared some of the makeup she used on Stewart for the shoot, including her buttery lip color and radiant highlighter.
Toye chose the color Lisa’s Coral, which appears to be a neutral pinky hue that plays perfectly with the lifestyle magnate’s merlot blouse.
To enhance Stewart’s natural radiance, she also applied the skin-care-infused Teint Idôle Ultra Wear C.E. Skin Transforming Highlighter in the Light Glow option. It promises 24-hour wear.
The silky formula has micro light-catching pearls plus moringa oil and vitamins E and C for a radiant finish.
Scroll on for a few more picks from Toye to step into your own cherry era — domestic royalty approved.
Stewart wears the shade 230, but it comes in two dozen hues.
Toye used the shades Sunburst and Desert Sand for Stewart’s natural beauty look.
