There is one beauty lesson that Julianne Moore has whispered to her daughter.
The 61-year-old actress and her lookalike daughter, Liv Freundlich, 20, have teamed up for a new Hourglass Cosmetics campaign, and Moore revealed to Harper’s Bazaar that her biggest beauty regret was ruining her eyebrows.
When asked if there was any beauty advice she passed on to her daughter, the Academy Award winner said she overdid it with tweezers in the early days of her career.
“All I always say is don’t touch her eyebrows,” she said. “Don’t destroy your eyebrows like I did, and countless other women I know.”
The ‘We Glow’ campaign for Hourglass Cosmetics’ Ambient Soft Glow Foundation focuses on five mothers and daughters, including Moore and Freundlich — and the ’30 Rock’ star said it was “inspired by being awake and how we light up when we are with someone we care about and love.”
Moore said her daughter has “never shot anything like it,” adding, “but she did a great job and we both really cheered each other on.”
The “Still Alice” actress praised the subtlety of Hourglass’ foundation, saying, “That idea of still wanting to see someone under all the makeup is something I’ll pass on to my daughter.”
So what’s in her makeup bag? “I love an eyebrow pencil because, you know, I ruined my eyebrows like I said decades ago,” Moore shared, recommending the Hourglass Arch Brow Sculpting Pencil ($37).
When it comes to lips, the “As the World Turns” veteran said the brand’s Phantom Volumizing Glossy Balm ($35) is “really emollient, has a really nice color that isn’t overpowering and goes with everything.”
Moore shared one of the makeup tricks she learned on set, advising readers to “imitate the natural emotions of your face when applying makeup.”
“Like with blush, for example, we smile when applying blush,” she said. “If you’re ever curious about where to put makeup on your face, think about where our face naturally moves.”
As for her gorgeous red hair, the “The End of the Affair” star said she relies on West Village hairstylist Vickie Vidov to keep her color looking fresh.
“We recently switched to a semi-permanent dye,” she revealed. “Being a natural redhead, I love that this new color fades naturally, so there’s no delineation. I always want to keep my true color without it looking fake, like with hair dye.”
On aging, the Academy Award winner — who recently said the term “aging gracefully” is “totally sexist” — said as the years go by, “people develop, your relationships change, and some relationships deepen. That’s actually the beauty of getting older: that you get to experience all of this.”
