- Hello,
I'm Maye Musk and I'm excited to share my beauty secrets.
So to start off with, I'm going to do skincare,
then makeup, then haircare and then hand care.
Here we have cleanser. I just need a couple of drops.
The skin is the largest organ in the body,
and I am a dietician with 2 master of science degrees so.
I really have specialized in eating well,
lots of fruits and vegetables and whole grains.
So I'm going to use the 1 1 1 skin mask.
Its really relaxing.
And this often happens on set too, which I think is great.
I leave it on for 20 minutes.
I've always had to look after my skin because first of all,
I was modeling since I was 15 and I'm now 73.
And you really can't last that long as a model
unless you look after your skin.
So unfortunately when I was a teenager in South Africa,
I'm from Canada, but I grew up in South Africa.
We ran out in the sun all the time, there was no sunblock,
we didn't wear hats and we certainly didn't have sunscreen.
So you will see that I do have some sun spots on my face
and that skin damage from the sun.
So to keep my eyes moisturized,
you need a special cream for that.
I use this Dior Eye Serum and what I love is the applicator.
Look at it.
I know people worry about wrinkles and getting older,
Well, obviously I don't.
I'm not old enough yet. And,
and Vogue will bring me back in my 80's and 90's as well.
So I need to keep the skin going.
Yes, you have to look after your skin
because otherwise then you start looking in the mirror
and not liking yourself.
We can't have that.
The Melem M lip balm.
Put it on my lips and you know,
I have to take it with me every where.
If I'm not wearing lipstick then I definitely need lip balm.
The great thing about the menopause is that you don't have
breakouts anymore, you know ,
besides not having your periods, which is wonderful.
Thanks to my modern life, I always,
before a beauty campaign, always had a big pumper.
There are treatments for it nowadays there wasn't in the
past that the makeup artist had to really work with me.
And even if I don't wear makeup,
I just have my skincare routine and I'm walking my dog.
I will then spray this
Pearlosophy sun screen on my face.
Cle de Peau ... foundation I'm going to use today.
And a Laura Mercier sponge,
because, you know, you use whatever works for you.
You know, in the beginning, of course,
I had to do my own hair and makeup for jobs,
but now I have experts do it.
And I don't know if I've noticed any change
other than products are better.
And I've learned to do it better.
If I find later in the evening, that there's
a few wrinkles coming somewhere that it sinks
into my wrinkles, then I just dab it a bit.
But usually I don't have my glasses on ,
so I don't see any wrinkles.
So here I have the Dior Concealer,
So I have three wonderful children and 12 grandchildren,
and they just love it better. I look well and I'm healthy.
And with my children, I always want them
to eat well, which is important.
And then also to protect themselves from the sun.
So I don't know how much they listening to me,
but their skin ...
all three of them have really nice skin.
So the first time, and the only time I've been
to the Met Gala was with Elon,
and of course we didn't know quite what to do,
what we meant to do.
He didn't, he would refuse to walk the red carpet,
but I walked the red carpet.
Lady Gaga was in front of me and Kate Hudson was
in front of me and, and
Bella Hadid.
And the weekend was behind me.
And I couldn't get a camera to look my way,
but I had to have a photo taken because I was wearing a
designers outfit, Yuna Yang's.
She made a special outfit for me.
So I just stood there, smiling.
And you know, the awesome photos of me.
My next step is powder, Dior powder.
And here is the Mac brush to put it on.
Powder has improved a lot over the years,
because in the past, when you would put powder on it,
it would cake all over your face.
And now it just blends beautifully.
And I think the brushes are so much better too,
that they help your blend, blend the powder in.
My next step is a Blusher.
So where I've put it is right by, just below my cheekbones.
I have big cheekbones, Thank you, mom and dad!
[chuckles]
Sometimes I'll even put some just them in my eyes,
just especially if I'm just thinking of myself,
just to add a little color day before I work on eye-makeup,
I need to highlight the cheekbones, but yo, you put it here.
Can you see it catches the camera well, too ?
Especially in red carpets or in photo shoot.
When I was a teenager, of course I did the 3D makeup,
which is the big eyelashes on top
and then the individual eyelashes below
and then the black line across the, over here.
And it took me about an hour to get ready because I couldn't
go out without it.
And then suddenly went to a natural look.
And that's what happens as you get older,
you have to change with the fashion.
The 80's was really that big hair
[chuckles]
and I colored my hair blonde,
but because I couldn't afford to go to a hair salon,
I would color it myself.
So I was various stages of blorange,
which is a blonde and orange.
But nowadays with the editorials,
I do get some crazy makeup and I love it.
I love experimenting with makeup and I let any,
any makeup artists just use their creative abilities to,
to make me look fabulous or weird.
I have, hardly have any brows.
So I really need to do something about it and draw them in.
I have here a YSL Brow Pencil.
So now you can see about finishing off the brows,
how much it gives me a better shape.
So now for my eye color,
start with just the eyelid or the pinky look.
With some makeup, the eyes really pop and people say, wow,
your eyes are so blue.
Now I'm just going to do it here.
You just keep on blending it very nicely,
a little bit on the sides as well,
already looking better.
As you noticed in the beginning, I've really small eyes.
So then to open it up a bit, I take this color.
And now I have small eyelashes too.
So I definitely need Mascara.
Now we going to use the lash lash eyelashes.
You can see how they are individuals.
It makes it look quite natural.
And then I dip it into the glue, and now put it on my eye.
So now I've done this eye, now I have to do the other one,
but can you see the difference?
How it opens up my eyes.
You can put many more lashes
on maybe for a more glamorous evening.
Sometimes you can use a strip, but it,
it depends on the event and who's photographing you because
sometimes the strip is pretty obvious when you look down.
I like the individuals.
Now I'm going to do the lipstick
and it's just a simple one for the day.
When it comes to Instagram,
I find that it's the best thing that ever happened to me.
And at the time I started on Instagram, I thought,
Well as a dietician, I should just put food, the food I eat,
and then I would get 5 likes.
So then I thought, well,
I'll post some model pictures
and then I would get 100 likes.
So then I realized, okay,
this is actually going to be my model portfolio.
People are surprised that I do it myself.
I'm really happy to represent women in their 70's.
Because you go through many hard times in your life.
And I'm hoping when girls realize that you can end the hard
times quicker than I did.
Because you only make a change if you,
if you're in a really bad situation.
So I've lived in, in 8 cities and 3 countries.
I moved to a small town to be a theater master of science
degree and lived in a one bedroom apartment,
my kids in the bedroom
and I lived in the living room kitchen so that I could learn
more about chronic diseases.
And then I would lecture around the world, not only on,
on disease states or general wellness,
but I would also lecture on how to be an entrepreneur
and so I have given many talks for women who
are you know scared to start over and rightly so,
they should be scared because it is scary and you haven't
got confidence, but you need to get out there and,
and let people know how great you are.
So now that we've got the whole makeup look,
let's work on my hair.
So this is my natural hair color, Thank you, mom and dad.
So when I was a model up until my late 50's,
I was coloring my hair blonde.
And you know, when you color it blonde,
you have to do the routes all the time.
And then it's various forms of frizz
because of course you're damaging the hair.
I started letting it grow out.
So there was this white halo and then this was all blonde.
And then I cut it into a really edgy, short look.
I use this for volume.
I also use the Paul Mitchell styling cream.
So that even adds more volume to my hair.
Now I can really work with it.
And you see, I have a natural flow here.
It's called the cow's lick, and many times I want
to get rid of it because it's,
it's kind of cooler without the cows, cows lick.
But I also have a widow's peak,
which doesn't show as well because it's white hair.
But when my hair was brown or blonde,
I would sometimes get booked for a job just because they
loved my, my widow's peak hair.
Texture spray.
And I spray it to my hair.
When you put texture in it,
you can do some crazy stuff and fun stuff
with your hair there.
Let's put it to the side, even,
even down here and you can even do something like that.
I think it looks cool.
Extra body hairspray.
So many people are scared of getting gray.
Many women, men seem to not mind.
Women are scared of getting gray and you know,
I wasn't scared of going gray.
I was just concerned that I'd never modeled again when I had
gray hair.
But as you see, it opened up the whole field
of modeling because now everyone is not as..
not scared of going gray.
Now my next project is hands.
I used to be a Hand model.
So first of all, to have good hands,
you need to moisturize it.
And I love this Chanel hand cream it,
in my bag all the time.
And it's really a cool looking one.
I really use two or three times a day it's called 'Cel'
and what it is, it's an oil.
So here you pull this off,
you twist that and then you put it on your cuticles
and then you rub it in.
When I go out and I'm working,
walking my dog and I have long sleeves,
I will put sun protection on my hands because you need
to keep the hands healthy.
So the last thing, Gris Dior,
I wear fragrance every day and you know why?
It just makes me feel good.
And I'm so happy they've invited me to be part
of the Vogue Beauty Secrets.
I hope you learn something and enjoy your life.
Bye-bye.
