Brooke Shields and beauty have a very weird relationship.

Theyre kind of like ex-spouses who are hesitantly learning to be friends again years after a tumultuous divorce.
As Shields puts it, Beauty… it’s always been a job.
I’m starting to enjoy it through them, she tellsAllure.
It’s nice to come back into it at this stage of life.
It’s nice because it’s on my terms, she says.
I’m not following the fad.
I like to leave it wet.
If I need to style it, I’ll use hot rollers.
Tim Nolanis my stylist [and colorist].
I could probably see him [for root touch-ups] every three weeks.
Makeup
I attempt to use as few products as possible [when off-duty].
I don’t put a whole face on.
I put it on my lips, put it on my cheeks, put it on my eyes.
Mascara is my main thing.
I’ve been using Thrive Causemetics.
They sent me a tube ofLiquid Lash Volumizer Mascara, and it makes my eyelashes look so thick.
I needLumify eye dropsall the time because my eyes are always bloodshot, whether I’ve slept or not.
I’m very active.
I live in a city.
The moisture is the most important part of my routine.
My routine in the morning and night, usually, is pretty much the same.
Sometimes the cleansing at night is more intensified because I’ve had makeup on in the day.
I use theTrue Botanicals Ginger Turmeric Cleansing Balm, which I take off with warm water and a washcloth.
At night I use theResurrection Radiance Eye Creamand theChebula Extreme Cream.
Usually, it’s hormonal.
I mean, at 58, you wouldn’t think that, but it’s true.
I have combination skin, so I don’t really have oily skin.
[When I break out,] I try my hardest not to pick.
I use tea tree oil.
It’s an astringent but it doesn’t really strip.
I don’t have a go-to place or person [for skin treatments].
I love the at-home stuff.
Every now and then, I have a gift certificate to [skin-care brand]Orveda.
I had one of their facials [at an event the brand hosted] this summer and Ilovedthat facial.
It was so moisturizing and calming and zen.
I’m trying to let them grow out.
Every time I think I’m going to be able to do it, I fail miserably.
I go to a place calledRescue Spa[in New York City].
They say the same thing.
And I love the way they look with hard gel, Ive got to be honest.
There was a period of time where I liked square nails with round edges.
I’m trying to get more oval because I think it might make my hands look better.
I can’t do the coffin or the pointy [tips].
I have sort of big hands.
I joke that they’re masculine, but they’re big.
I likeEssie Ballet Slippers.
There’s something so satisfying about it.
[The foot doctor] was like, yo, just give it the winter.
Give your nails a break.
So they’re growing out; they’re getting healthier.
I’ll go back to color in the summer.
When I’m done with everything else, then I will then wash the conditioner out.
I useDoctor Rogers Restore Body Wash, and I’ll useWeleda Shaving Creamto shave my legs.
In the winter I dry out very easily, so I like [body products] that are thick.
I just like moisture, moisture, moisture.
The way I grew up, that was what it was.
Right now, I’m going toTrue Botanicals Everything Rescue Balmbecause it’s super thick.
