Eva Longoria gets glamorous before picking up her son from school
Eva Longoria is no ordinary mother; she’s a cool mom with an impeccable makeup routine.
Longoria, 48, shared her step-by-step beauty regimen during an episode of Fashion‘Beauty Secrets’ YouTube series on Thursday, November 16.
Before starting her routine, she gave viewers a heads up: “My daily makeup look may mean a lot to some of you because I’m Latina. I wear full makeup every day.” In the clip, she wore her dark brown locks parted in the middle, styled into a sleek bun, which she said was inspired by Sofia Richie‘s hair tutorial.
First she tried on the L’Oréal Revitalift hyaluronic acid serum to her face for ‘perfect, refreshing [and] filling in those fine lines.”
From sparkling dresses to sharp suits: check out Eva Longoria’s style evolution
Eva Longoria has long been a style icon in Hollywood. Since her breakout role as Gabrielle Solis in Desperate Housewives, her fashion choices have been adored. From pink glitter dresses to timeless trouser suits, the movie star has a sharp eye for the most trendy and classic looks. Plus, the Brooklyn Nine-Nine actress isn’t afraid […]
Then she used the Augustinus Bader Facial Oil and Rich Cream to moisturize her skin. The Desperate housewives alum massaged the products onto her face with the Facify Beauty Wand. “I like to take care of my skin,” she says. “I feel like I’m pampering myself every day in my bathroom.”
To conclude her skincare routine, Longoria used the L’Oréal Revitalift Eye Serum and the Augustinus Bader eye patches. As she let the patches sink into her skin, she rubbed jasmine oil on her chest while giving herself daily affirmations, including “be the light today.”
Afterwards, Longoria started her makeup routine by applying an all-over skin tint.
She then applied concealer to her forehead and eyelids before going in with the Tartelette In Bloom Clay eyeshadow palette.
“For my everyday look, I go super light,” she said as she patted a “nudey brown” shade over her lids. She also made her brow bone “pop” with a sparkly shade from the palette.
Longoria later applied a nude color and blended everything with a soft brush.
“I grew up as the ugly duckling in my family because my sisters are blonde, hazel eyes, and light skinned, and I came out [with] black hair, dark skin, black eyes.” Longoria explained that “although it is a term of endearment,” she was called the Spanish translation of “ugly dark one” growing up.
“I came to fruition very late,” she continued, explaining, “beauty wasn’t my thing. I thought, ‘I get it. I’m not pretty, I’m going to be smart. I’m going to be funny and I think that’s why I became an actor. Actually, I still don’t [identify as beautiful.]”
Longoria completed her eye look with an orange shimmer shade on her lids and Victoria Beckham‘s Satin Kajal Liner in her lash line.
Moving on to the brows, she used a Huda Beauty brow pencil to outline and fill in her locks.
Longoria explained that while she didn’t have acne growing up, “I had a lot of skin discoloration when I was pregnant.” She added, “I had a raccoon mask and a mustache. I used to wear a lot of foundation”
She then applied concealer under her eyes, under her nostrils, on her chin and forehead and a little on her cheeks before applying a Makeup by Mario contour palette to carve out her cheekbones and add dimension back to her face.
“I chose to make this video before I picked up my son from school,” Longoria said with a laugh. “So I’m going to show up as the most popular mom around.

Before lining her lips, she applied blush, highlighter and powder.
