Sex and
the City: The Beauty Edition

If you’re like me, you’ve spent more than 4 years waiting for a glimpse of your
four favorite ladies back in action, and today you finally found out where the world
took our favorite city girls, Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda with Sex
and the City: The Movie. And while we’ve seen Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall,
Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon in various movies or shows while anxiously
waiting for them to buddy up again, they all seem to return together on the big
screen looking like a day hasn’t passed—in other words, they look damn good.
More than the ins and outs of their love lives, I was way more interested in how
they stay so beautiful.
Sarah
Jessica Parker: Carrie Bradshaw favored NARS, you
could spot the classic black rubber packaging on her vanity in her bathroom in
countless episodes. She applied
NARS Lip Lacquer throughout the show’s six seasons, but while she always looks
flawless with a natural glow and seamless makeup, Sarah Jessica is a bit harder
to pin down when it comes to her must-have brands. Insiders told the New York
Post that she had been known to have
Boots products flown in from England before they were readily available at
Target on this side of the Atlantic. The unconventional beauty is also a huge
fan of Global
Goddess Beauty —she loves their bronzer, mascara and liquid eyeliner and has
called the line beautiful.
And though SJP may not be typing away at the computer like her writer alter-ego
Carrie, she still manages to keep her hands looking and feeling in tip-top
condition. She helped famed-manicurist Deborah Lippmann to create a nail polish
to suit her liking—the Sarah Smile from
Lippmann Collection and it really is the perfect pink polish – and one of
their most popular shades. She has also been known to keep her hands soft and
hydrated with
Barielle's Professional Protective Hand Cream.
Cynthia Nixon:
She may play a high-powered laywer who’s wound a little tight, but when it comes
to her skin care, the fair-skinned beauty relies on a more relaxed holistic
regimen with Dr.Hauschka Skin Care products, specifically with their
Everyday Matters a daily skin care kit that includes a detailed 3-step
cleansing protocol utilizing the Lavender Bath, Cleansing Cream, either Facial
Toner (included in the “normal skin” set) or Clarifying Toner (included in the
“oily skin” set), and a certified Biodynamic Egyptian cotton compress.
A fan of NARS as well, Cynthia has been known to
whip out the
Dolce Vita lip gloss, as well as the movie appropriate,
The Multiple-Orgasm. Whether her hair is blonde, red, shorter or longer,
Cynthia’s stylist keeps it in line, with shine, volume and hold using
Being Sexy
hairspray, one of Rusk’s
newest products.
Kim Cattrall:
While she keeps her sexy skin healthy with MURAD products like Oil-Free Sunblock
SPF 30, celebrity make up artist Nick Barose applies
Styli-Style L3 Lipstain to get her pout looking perfect. She gets her eyes
smooth and line-free with
SkinMedica TNS Illuminating Eye Cream, and she plumps up her pucker with the
TNS LipPlump System, according to her on set makeup artist, Kyra Panchenko,
who used the products all through the filming of the movie. Kim’s hair stylist
makes sure her tresses are flowing and smooth with
FHI
Heat flat irons.
Kim, like her co-stars, has a spot for NARS and gets her even skin tone with
their
Balanced Foundation
in Fiji and her come-hither eyes vibrant and shimmering
with their
Duo Eye Shadow.
Kristin Davis:
Though she’ll say she isn’t too much like her traditional-minded character,
Charlotte, Kristin’s clean-cut beauty is undeniable, and her secret to youthful,
fresh looking skin? Israel’s Dead Sea via AHAVA. She’s a fan of their
Cleansing Milk,
Mineral Eye Cream,
Purifying Mud Mask and
Age-Defying All Day Moisture SPF 15, and the minerals, salts, and botanicals
from the infamous waters help her maintain her signature healthy glow.
And her makeup is pretty flawless thanks to the
Beautyblender sponge
she’s been know to use—its elliptical shape makes application foolproof by
allowing you to access hard-to-reach areas with ease. She gets her nails looking
polished with
NARS Bohemia and gets a natural glow with their
Bronzing Powder
in Casino.
