We caught up with her to discover the beauty products she can’t live without.
1. Long-Lasting Scent
“The two things that give me the most confidence are thorough preparation and perfume,” says Natalie. However, instead of traditional fragrance, “I prefer a scented body oil that lasts longer.” L’huile Vanille BodyMassage Oil, $230; chanel.com
2. An Effective Face Wash
She turns to this exfoliating cleanser to “remove all the makeup from the cameras.” M-61 PowerGlow Pro+Niacinamide + NeuropeptideCleanse, $34; bluemercury.com
3. Hair Support
“As I get older, my hair has thinned, so I’m using Nutrafol to help restore its thickness,” she shares, noting the supplement’s noticeable effects. Women HairGrowth Nutraceutical, $79 for 120 capsules; nutrafol.com
4. Sweat-Free Deodorant
“I’m dealing with perimenopause and sweating a lot!” she laughs. “This deodorant does the job, and I love the natural ingredients.” It’s formulated with amla berries and aloe. SupernaturalDeodorant, $18; aloyoga.com
5. Brow Enhancer
She attributes her stunning brows to both her Brazilian mother’s genetics and this brow-boosting serum. Brow ShapeAltering Serum, $79; nulastin.com
6. Tinted Lip Balm
“A single swipe gives just the right touch of color and care,” she says about this gentle balm. Mineral Liplux Organic TintedLipBalmSunscreenSPF30 in Nude Beach, $18; coola.com
7. Advanced Skincare
“I prefer dermatologist-approved skincare lines, like SkinMedica,” she shares. These pads “remove the last traces of makeup and leave my complexion radiant.” Even & CorrectBrightening Treatment Pads,$60for60;skinmedica.com
8. Smile Maintenance
Though you might think a TV personality opts for professional whitening treatments, Natalie relies on a good old-fashioned drugstore toothpaste. Arm & HammerAdvance White Extreme WhiteningToothpaste, $7 for 2; walmart.com
9. Tried & Tested Remedies
“I get my lashes tinted, and I’m open about using Botox Cosmetic,” Natalie shares. “I’ve been on TV for 25 years, and while aging is natural, I just don’t want that to steal the spotlight. I prefer for people to focus on my reporting instead.” To find a Botox Cosmetic provider, visit alle.com.
10. Self-Care with a Twist
Instead of a spa day, Natalie finds relaxation by spending quality time with her boys, her dog, and her horse, Louie.
11. A Refreshing Cool Down
The former marathon runner now favors shorter jogs to clear her mind, along with CorePower Yoga—hot yoga combined with weights, as she puts it. For more info, visit corepoweryoga.com.
12. A Relaxing Flight
“I try to sleep!” Natalie says about her in-flight habits. “I skip the makeup and stick to moisturizer. I also bring along a sleep mask and a refreshing face mist.”
13. Valuable Insight
The 51-year-old shares that with every birthday, she sets a new goal. This year, her focus is to “be more present and grounded.”
