While many celebrities turn to cosmetic procedures in the pursuit of youth, Salma Hayek Pinault is choosing a different path by embracing her natural beauty and ageing gracefully.
In a candid feature for Vogue’s “Beauty Secrets” series, the 58-year-old actress and producer opened up about her beauty routine, offering insight into how she maintains her glow without relying on invasive treatments.
Hayek revealed that she’s been experimenting with makeup since she was just 13.
Now she prefers to keep things as natural as possible.
One unique tip she shared is that she embraces the natural darkening of her eyelids with age, likening it to a built-in eyeshadow.
“I kind of like it,” she said. “It’s like natural eyeshadow.”
Though she wears a lightweight foundation, the "Frida" star uses a touch of concealer to even out her skin tone, particularly on age spots.
“I don’t want to look over-produced,” she explained. “Everybody is too over-produced and they look gorgeous, but that is not a look I want for myself.”
Staying true to her down-to-earth style, Hayek applies most of her makeup with her fingers, keeping the process simple.
When it comes to common signs of ageing like crow’s feet, she avoids fillers entirely.
She admitted that she once thought the bumps on the sides of women’s faces were the result of poorly done cosmetic work, only to realise later that these changes were just part of the natural ageing process.
Though she embraces her grey hair, she has a clever trick for blending it without dyeing.
She uses a touch of black mascara, gently brushing it through any visible white strands around her face.
She also encourages women to adapt their makeup routines with age, reminding them that what worked for them when they were younger will not work for them now.
Recently, Hayek made headlines for appearing in Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit issue, proudly showcasing her stunning, age-defying figure and reinforcing her commitment to authenticity.
