From her cosmetics to her steps… Scarlett Johansson reveals the secrets of her charming looks

 

Scarlett Johansson is not one of the stars who deals with makeup; As a mask to hide features, but rather as a space for play, discovery, and self-expression. Behind her calm looks on the red carpet, there is a long and complex relationship with the skin and cosmetics, which began in her “adolescence”, where she went through the experiences of “acne”, and developed over time into an intelligent understanding of what the skin really needs, and what can be dispensed with.

Here, we approach her beauty philosophy, as she tells it herself, how she chooses her products, what has changed in her routine after forty, and why she does not believe in exaggerating coverage?

Suffering from “acne”:

Scarlett suffered from acne for many years, an experience that shaped her relationship with makeup and skin care early on. For her, makeup was not a luxury, but rather a tool to deal with the effects of tired skin and sometimes peeling, and a smart attempt to unify color and hide blemishes. This early exposure made her understand color correction techniques, hide blemishes perfectly, and handle concealer professionally.

After her skin became more balanced, her relationship with makeup changed. She no longer hides behind it, but rather enjoys it. There is a big difference between makeup that is used out of necessity, and makeup that is used out of pleasure and experience. This transformation gave her looks a natural maturity, with lighter layers, calculated touches, and a focus on skin quality before any color.

Healthy skin… First:

Scarlett is sure that makeup cannot look beautiful on tired skin. Therefore, always start by preparing the skin with a light, moisturizing serum that gives it fullness and smoothness before any colored product. She also does not tend toward heavy silicone bases, which temporarily fill pores. Rather, she prefers products that improve the skin’s texture and leave it breathing.

This thinking reflects a recent trend in the world of beauty: skin care is no longer a separate stage from makeup, but rather part of its success. Good hydration provides easier blending, better hold, and a more natural look.

Concealer instead of foundation:

Unlike many stars, who wear foundation on a daily basis, Scarlett tends to use concealer only in areas that need coverage: under the eyes, around the mouth, or chin. This method gives the skin a natural and light appearance, and eliminates the feeling of heavy layers.

Despite her great love for all shades of lipstick, Scarlett does not tend to use it during the day. She prefers a calm appearance. But in the evening, lipstick turns into a personal signature, with dark, sometimes bold shades, and other times classic pink, coral, and red colors.

When it comes to eyeliner, Scarlett prefers formulas that provide soft control and a precise line, and she likes to use an angled brush with cream eyeliner because it gives more freedom in drawing lines. Her theatrical experience, when she had to apply her own makeup for the looks of the fifties of the last century, made her tend toward clear, classic lines, especially the “cat eye,” which remains elegant; No matter how much fashion changes.

Scarlett admits that her eyelashes are no longer as thick as she gets older, so she started relying on an eyelash primer before mascara. To enhance length and density. This is a realistic observation shared by many women, and it confirms that changing facial features with age does not mean giving up beauty, but rather modifying tools.

As for the eyebrows, just light cleaning gives them a natural, balanced appearance, far from the mistakes of thin eyebrows, which made many people regret it later.

Scarlett Johansson does not offer a magic recipe for beauty, but rather a mature and simple vision:

– Skin first: Prepare, and moisturize, before any colour.

– Smart Coverage: Concealer if needed, instead of heavy layers.

-Makeup mood: Quiet during the day, bold at night.

– Coming to terms with age: Different tools for a different stage, without worry or denial.
