Martha Stewart has been breaking barriers since the jump. The first self-made female billionaire (yes, really) built a lifestyle empire entirely on her own terms—and she’s now 84, but I’m still taking notes.
Over the years, I’ve chatted with her about everything from hosting hacks and gardening tips to partying with Snoop Dogg. But today? It’s all about her latest beauty moment. Stewart just hit Instagram with a fresh glam reveal: a voluminous, wavy lob and glossy pink makeup that has me—and the internet—absolutely shook. “Hollywood glamour personified!!” she captioned it. And honestly, she nailed it.
Glam for Martha’s Mystery Project
Martha may not have spilled the tea on what project she was glammed up for, but she did tease, “I have to look like this because of the job I am here to do!” One thing’s for sure—it helps to have two of the best in the biz on call. Celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton and makeup artist Nicole Daisy Toye transformed the icon from bare-faced to bombshell using, as Martha put it, “just a few hair extensions and some beauty products extraordinaire.”
A Fuller, Brighter, Wavier Lob
The finished look? A bob that was noticeably fuller (clip-ins FTW), wavier, and brighter than ever. And while her highlights might be fresh, there’s also a clever hair hack at play—using lighter extensions to mimic the look of highlights without causing damage. Her soft, face-framing layers hit right at her cheekbones, subtly lifting and sculpting her face for that effortlessly youthful vibe.

Martha’s Makeup—And Life Motto
Then came the makeup glow-up. Martha’s luminous skin (she did just launch a skincare line called Elm Biosciences), sculpted brows, fluttery lashes, and matching dewy pink blush and lip made her look radiant. One fan perfectly summed it up, commenting, “Martha, aren’t you exhausted from serving face all day every day?!” To which she quipped, “Nope—life is too short!!” Consider this proof that Martha isn’t just serving beauty inspiration—she’s serving life lessons, too.
Martha posed, showing off her signature pursed lips, part of her go-to selfie protocol. She recently shared her photo-ready tips on the Drew Barrymore show: “Always go down your face, elongate your neck,” Stewart instructed. “Purse your lips a little bit. Open your eyes.”
