No one’s telling you what to do, how to walk, how to be.

They are literally on the sidelines like cheerleaders, just encouraging you to be you.

Thats the heart of the LOreal Paris mission: empowering people to celebrate themselves through the power of beauty.

Its a message that resonates with the star, who became a face of LOreal Paris in 2019.

I think LOreal understands the value of the woman and the beauty of the woman.

It’s a beauty brand that sees us.

In honor of the occasion, we chatted all things beauty and wellness.

I sit in there with my husband and sometimes I’ll just do steam.

I don’t think that people understand how overwhelming the red carpet can be."

I turned 59 and I feel like I have more time behind me than I have ahead of me.

Show me how to do it.

I’m looking for those women who know how to do this part of life.

I love Brene Brown.

I feel like she lives her life based on her studies and what she believes.

I believe that she’s the real deal."

My husband always makes me laugh.

I mean holding-my-belly laughing.

He’s a funny man and he imitates his mom, which is the absolute best.

We laugh in bed.

We laugh in the tub."

I dump a bunch ofDr.

And we put on the [LOreal] Midnight Serum and the cream.

And that’s what we do.

Every night…everynight."

The Product That’s Been In Her Routine the Longest

“Probably that Shu Uemura oil cleanser.

Possibly those acid peel pads that I’m gonna acquire before I leave Paris.”

It’s just you.

If anyone is going to save you in your life, it’s always going to be you."

The One Time She Feels Most Like Herself

“At home.

With my husband, laughing.

Watching a movie, eating something really good.

That’s when I feel most myself.”

“I think I got it from Target.

It was $9.99 and I’m trying to find another dress and I can’t find one.

Just a black sheath dress, thats all it was.”

The One Product Always In Her Bag

“Definitely lipstick.

They see the lips and I like being seen!

I’m a Leo.”
