Martha Stewart Says She’s Been Using the Same Eyeliner for ‘15 or 20 Years’: ‘My Makeup Artist’ Is ‘Cringing’
Stewart told Allure she just keeps "adding water" to the discontinued liquid eyeliner by LeClerc
Martha Stewart is loyal to her beauty products — even if that means it's a bit unsanitary!
In a recent makeup tutorial video for Allure, the celebrity chef, 83, shared that her favorite eyeliner was discontinued years ago — but that doesn't stop her from using it.
"This is my secret for every day," Stewart says in the clip, shared on Nov. 2, while holding up a tube of LeClerc liquid liner. "It's not made anymore. It's probably 15 or 20 years old. I have five of these, which I cherish."
"I just keep adding water to it," she explains. "It has not dried out, incredibly."
Stewart applies the "silvery, gray-brown" liner to her top and bottom lash lines, "just to make my eyes look a little bit wider."
Of her makeup routine, the author says, "My makeup artist Daisy's watching and she's probably cringing at what I do."
For the record, eyeliners are generally not recommended to be used for more than a few months, as eye makeup can become contaminated with germs very quickly, according to the Mayo Clinic.

Stewart shares another beauty secret to keeping up her youthful glow — bronzer.
"I usually just bronze myself a lot and that gets me out the door," she says, calling out the Westman Atelier Butter Powder Bronzer as her go-to.
"My granddaughter Jude says, 'Martha, you use too much bronzer,'" Stewart adds. "But I like bronzer. I've always used too much bronzer. It just makes me feel healthy, which I am."
