Salma Hayek Pinault's natural beauty secrets and makeup tips

While many celebrities turn to cosmetic procedures in the pursuit of youth, Salma Hayek Pinault is choosing a different path by embracing her natural beauty and ageing gracefully.
In a candid feature for Vogue's 'Beauty Secrets' series, the 58-year-old actress and producer opened up about her beauty routine, offering insight into how she maintains her glow without relying on invasive treatments.
Hayek revealed that she's been experimenting with makeup since she was just 13.
Now she prefers to keep things as natural as possible.
One unique tip she shared is that she embraces the natural darkening of her eyelids with age, likening it to a built-in eyeshadow.
'I kind of like it,' she said. 'It's like natural eyeshadow.'
Though she wears a lightweight foundation, the "Frida" star uses a touch of concealer to even out her skin tone, particularly on age spots.
'I don't want to look over-produced,' she explained. 'Everybody is too over-produced and they look gorgeous, but that is not a look I want for myself.'
Staying true to her down-to-earth style, Hayek applies most of her makeup with her fingers, keeping the process simple.
When it comes to common signs of ageing like crow's feet, she avoids fillers entirely.
She admitted that she once thought the bumps on the sides of women's faces were the result of poorly done cosmetic work, only to realise later that these changes were just part of the natural ageing process.
Though she embraces her grey hair, she has a clever trick for blending it without dyeing.
She uses a touch of black mascara, gently brushing it through any visible white strands around her face.
She also encourages women to adapt their makeup routines with age, reminding them that what worked for them when they were younger will not work for them now.
Recently, Hayek made headlines for appearing in Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit issue, proudly showcasing her stunning, age-defying figure and reinforcing her commitment to authenticity.

L-Tido inks major deal with DStv with podcast set to air on Mzansi Wethu
Rapper-turned-podcaster L-Tido is taking his hit show to the next level after signing a deal with DStv. The L-Tido Podcast, which launched nearly three years ago, has grown into one of the country's most popular digital platforms — and now it's coming to television. The show will begin airing on Mzansi Wethu (DStv channel 163) from Thursday at 9:30pm, with new episodes scheduled to be broadcast on weekdays. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Tido shared the exciting news with his followers: ' The #LTidoPodcast just signed a deal with @dstvza. We go live this Thursday, 9:30pm on Mzansi Wethu.' Since its inception, The L-Tido Podcast has hosted a range of high-profile South African entertainers, including Cassper Nyovest and Scotts Maphuma. From raw conversations about their personal lives to the politics of fame — including why some stars refuse to have pictures taken with fans — the podcast has gained a reputation for delivering honest and engaging content. Boasting more than 167,000 YouTube subscribers and close to 15-million views, L-Tido's latest move marks a significant milestone, expanding his audience beyond online platforms. The announcement also comes amid whispers of competition and controversy in the local podcasting scene. Earlier this year, Podcast and Chill with MacG lost its DStv deal after backlash over comments about Minnie Dlamini. The tension between L-Tido and MacG has sparked speculation among fans, with some accusing Tido of stepping into MacG's lane. But for Tido, this seems more like a strategic evolution than rivalry. As he carves out a new chapter in broadcast media, his focus appears to be on growth, storytelling and bringing local voices to the mainstream.
