Katie Holmes has shared the beauty essential she always keeps in her bag to elevate her makeup from everyday chic to party-ready glam—and it’s a product we’re eager to grab before it sells out.
Known for her radiant, dewy complexion, Katie Holmes’ flawless skin has left fans wondering about the secret behind her glowing, lit-from-within look. While many have speculated, the answer may lie in a simple yet effective makeup hack that anyone can incorporate into their routine.
In a 2015 interview, Holmes revealed that her beauty secret is powdered blush, specifically Tom Ford’s Shade & Illuminate Blush. She explained, “I always keep powder blush in my purse. It’s my little trick because sometimes you never know what the day will bring, and blush can really wake you up and make you look presentable. It can take you from school pick-up to dinner in no time.” Her favorite shades? Peachy nectarine tones that add a natural, healthy flush to the skin.
Why Katie Holmes Loves Tom Ford’s Blush
Tom Ford’s Shade & Illuminate Blush is a two-in-one compact that features a pinker tone for sculpting and a soft shine shade for a luminous finish. This multi-purpose product has become a handbag staple for Holmes, offering both color and light-reflecting properties that enhance the complexion with ease.
The compact’s dual-purpose design makes it a convenient option for women on the go. A quick sweep across the apples of the cheeks gives the skin an instant glow, making it perfect for a fast winter skin pick-me-up.
A Quick Makeup Routine for a Busy Schedule
Despite her glowing complexion, Holmes keeps her makeup routine surprisingly simple. Often doing her makeup in the car to save time, the actress revealed that she prioritizes speed over anything else. “My schedule is pretty busy, so I’ve learned to do my makeup quickly because I prefer to sleep,” she said. “I’ll wait until the very last minute to wake up and get ready in about 20 minutes.”
In those 20 minutes, mascara is a must, and she adds a light eyeshadow in a neutral tone that complements her lipstick. “Tom Ford has a good lipstick called Blush Nude,” she said, adding that she also loves Chanel’s Lèvres Scintillantes lip gloss.
Although both the Blush Nude lipstick and Lèvres Scintillantes lip gloss have been discontinued, it’s likely that Holmes has replaced them with the newer versions of these products: Tom Ford’s Ultra-Shine Lip Colour and Chanel’s Rouge Coco Gloss, both of which offer similar neutral and glossy finishes.
Katie Holmes’ beauty routine proves that you don’t need an extensive collection of products to look polished—just a few key items that can easily transition from day to night.
