Teresa Giudice Reflects on Beauty Evolution and Shares Favorite Products

Teresa Giudice, a long-standing figure on Bravo's 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey,' is reflecting on her beauty journey, coinciding with the release of her new book, "The Queen of New Jersey." Giudice shared with Page Six Style that revisiting her past seasons for the book prompted a realization of how much her approach to personal style and beauty has evolved.

"I’ve learned that less can sometimes be more," Giudice stated. "I still love glam — I’m always going to love glam — but now I really care about skincare and what my skin looks like underneath the makeup."

She emphasized the importance of skincare as the foundation for her current beauty philosophy. "Moisturizer is huge for me. The older I get, the more I realize that good makeup really starts with taking care of your skin," she said. "When I was younger, I could get away with doing whatever. Now I’m religious about moisturizing, [and] taking my makeup off."

Giudice highlighted The Face Shop’s Rice Water Bright Wipes as a practical solution for makeup removal, noting their effectiveness in quickly and easily removing all traces of makeup. She has since partnered with the brand. "I always remove my makeup at the end of a long day, no matter how tired I am," she added.

During filming for 'Ultimate Girls Trip,' Giudice also found opportunities to exchange beauty tips with her co-stars. "We’re all such beauty girls, and everyone has their own little secrets. Everybody brings so much stuff [and] someone always has something another person wants to try," she explained. She noted admiring Lisa’s consistently shiny hair and was inspired to explore new hair masks, oils, and treatments, especially given the demands of filming and glam on her own hair.

Giudice also mentioned being intrigued by Kyle Richards' fragrance choices, stating, "Kyle Richards, meanwhile, 'always smells amazing.' I’m such a fragrance girl, so whenever someone smells really good, I have to ask what they’re wearing."

Giudice revealed her recipe for a perfect nude lip involves a nude-brown liner, a creamy nude lipstick, and a touch of gloss. She expressed a particular fondness for Kiko Milano products, naming Rosy Nude, Natural Rose, and Almond Vibes as favorite nude shades from the brand's Unlimited Double Touch Liquid Lipstick line.

When it comes to bronzer, Giudice favors a luxurious finish. "I’m definitely a bronzer girl. I love the Gucci Poudre De Beauté Éclat Soleil Bronzing Powder for a really pretty, luxurious finish," she said. She also uses the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Matte Bronzer for a "beautiful sun-kissed look."

For eye-catching lashes, Giudice recommends Lancôme Lash Idôle Mascara, stating, "I love long, full lashes, and I’m all about making my eyes pop!"

Hydration remains a key element in her routine, extending beyond the face. "I always moisturize my body. And for body lotion, I love something that makes my skin feel really soft and smells amazing, and I love the feel of La Mer’s The Body Crème," she shared. Giudice attributed her focus on skincare and appearance to her Italian heritage: "I’m Italian, so taking care of my skin and looking put together has always been important to me."
