Parker has been in the spotlight for decades and has earned legions of fans. Parker always looks polished and put together, so it makes sense that many fans would be invested in her makeup/beauty routine.

In a 2018 interview with People, Parker detailed a few of her absolute favorite products, from perfume to eye pencils, revealing that she likes low-key products that often do double duty. Parker recommends Milk Makeup Lip + Cheek color for those who want a light pop of color on cheeks and lips, noting “This is great on everyone; it doesn’t matter what your skin tone is, it just blends right in.”

Her essential for a simple, elegant eye look is the Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colour. Parker praised the easy-to-use product, telling People “I’ve been using these since the day they came out in 2011. They’re incredible colors, and they don’t transfer.” As far as her skincare routine, Parker prefers a lightweight moisturizer such as the La Roche-Posay Fluide Oil Free Moisturizer, saying “I’ve used this for at least 10 years. It’s light, unscented and just the greatest moisturizer I’ve ever found.”

What foundation did Sarah Jessica Parker wear on ‘And Just Like That…’?

In her downtime, Parker might like to keep things light, but when she’s on the set, she opts for products that tend to be a bit fuller coverage. Recently, the head of makeup for Parker’s latest project, And Just Like That…, opened up about what makeup the lead actresses prefer. According to New Beauty, Parker’s personal makeup artist, Elaine Offers Woulard, always uses a specific set of products to give Parker her signature “flawless finish.”

Woulard reportedly uses the Koh Gen Do Moisture Foundation to create a glowy base before using the Tom Ford Shade and Illuminate for contouring. For blush, Woulard likes to use the Milk Makeup Lip + Cheek color (Parker’s personal favorite as well), along with the Merit Flush Balm Cream Blush. The result was a truly flawless onscreen look for Parker, who was easily able to slip back into Carrie Bradshaw’s iconic shoes easily after a break of many years.
