Ina Garten is the girl next door in the cooking show world. Her comfort cooking along with her dry sense of humor and that giant martini glass is what got a lot of us through those first few months of the pandemic. The celebrity chef has been sharing her recipes on her show, Barefoot Contessa, on the Food Network since 2002. Ever wondered where the name Barefoot Contessa came from? According to Vox, it was the name of the specialty food store she bought in Westhampton Beach, NY, after she left her job as a nuclear policy analyst in the White House. Yes, really!
It seems there's a lot more to the female icon than meets the eye but one thing you can see: Her looks have hardly changed in her 20 year career on television. Maybe it's all of the comfort food? We can't say for certain as the 73-years-old chef hasn't shared too much about her beauty routine over the years but keep scrolling for what she has said.
She’s a fan of millennial brand, Glossier.
The chef posted this picture of Glossier lip balms on Instagram and shared that birthday balm was her favorite. Makes sense.
She indulges in a signature scent.
"The scent always reminds me of Paris. Jeffrey likes to walk in the bedroom after I've sprayed it with this perfume," Ina shared with Cooking Light in 2016, referencing Frédéric Malle Perfume Une Fleur De Cassie.
She loves classic Clinique.
Referring to Clinique's Lipstick in "A Different Grape", Ina shared with Cooking Light, "The color is a light dusty rose, which is a good shade for me. I also love their Water-Resistant Eyeliner—I've used it for decades and can draw a really thin line with the brush."
She opts for a milky cleanser.
Ina shared with Cooking Light that she used a milky cleanser from Chanel but unfortunately it's no longer available. Until we find out what she's replaced it with, you can shop hydrating cleansers here.
She uses a repairing serum.
The chef says the Laura Mercier Flawless Skin Repair Serum "really changed my skin when I started using it." And her one beauty regret: "I wish I'd started using good face cream earlier." Though, I'd say she's looking great without it, don't you think?! Don't be so hard on yourself, Ina!
