Martha Stewart's Makeup Artist Joined RHONY and Swears by a $7 Mascara

Daisy Toye has spent years doing Martha Stewart’s makeup. Now she’s doing her own, on camera, as a cast member of“Real Housewives of New York.”She told Page Six Style that the show has her wearing far more makeup than before, and that she cringes watching episodes where she went barefaced. Fair, honestly.

Her beauty bag is a mix of drugstore and designer, and the standout is Maybelline Volum’Express The Falsies Mascara. Her reasoning is practical: mascara has to be replaced constantly, so spending about $7 beats spending $38 every time. She rounds things out with L’Oréal True Match Lumi Glotion, Sarah Creal pHLip Liner, and Westman Atelier Suprême foundation when she wants the splurge.

The skin care side is where Martha comes in. Toye says her longtime client takes excellent care of her skin, calls her“my influencer,”and even had her test the Elm Biosciences A30 serum before it launched. Meanwhile, her RHONY castmates keep asking her to do their makeup, which feels like the ultimate co-sign.

So what’s the one product you refuse to upgrade? We want to hear your drugstore ride-or-dies.
