A beauty routine featuring Midge from the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel? That should’ve been something. And now it is! Here’s a marvelous (but modernized) beauty regimen inspired by the titular character, Mrs. Midge Maisel.
Hair Up!
A Rigorous Nighttime Routine
Titled "Beauty For Young Marrieds: Here Is Your Routine For Good Grooming!", the 1952 article in the herald advised women to apply "complexion milk" aka cold cream at bedtime to wake up with supple, wrinkle-free skin.
In Midge Maisel’s timeline, housewives were always expected to be "fresh-looking" around their husbands. And fresh meant done up and pretty from the moment they wake up to the moment they go to bed (hence the semi-infamous sneaking out of the bed after Joel goes to sleep).
But you don’t have to be a housewife to look flawless. A night cream, or a face mask before bed (or an overnight mask) can give you all the hydration you need as an update on the cold creams.
A “No-Makeup” Makeup Glow
The key is to stick to the bare essentials (primer, foundation, setting powder) but add a twist: some shine.
Whether it’s a facial oil or a highlighter, a bit of sparkle is key for a ‘glow from within’ look.
Effortless Curls
If heatless curls (which can in some cases be healthier for your hair) aren’t your thing, then a hair curler is your next best go-to.
Just keep in mind that your hair should look perfectly in place, so a hold spray and a high-quality hair straightener will be your next best friends.
Be Your Marvelous Self
And don't forget, Midge has never not been her true authentic self! So do you for your GRWH this month because there's no one way to be Marvelous!
