Jill Martin: Her Style Tips and Fave Product Picks

MM: What advice can you give to women looking to build a functional wardrobe?
JM: Start with the basics: black blazer, jeans, nice everyday bag, ballet flats, a great pair of pumps. If you want to buy more trend items, don’t splurge on those. Spend on items that will take you through many seasons.

MM: Your skin always looks flawless. Favorite skincare products? Best drugstore finds?
JM: I am a slave to my dermatologist Debra Wattenberg. I use her products and follow her strict instructions. Love, love, LOVE my Clarisonic Machine which helps thoroughly clean your face. I use it twice a day. I also get a spray tan (I never sit in the sun) and that helps. Abby from Bake Spray Tanning comes to your home!

MM: What is in your make-up bag?
JM: MAC bronzer and under eye concealer and Kiehl’s lip balm.

MM: Your hair is beautiful. Who is your stylist? Colorist?
JM: Thanks! Louis Licari (My Today Show TV Husband) does my color and Arsen Gurgov and Leena An give the best blowouts in the city. I get my own makeover when I walk into the salon.

MM: What are your favorite hair products?
JM: Keratin Complex all the way! I get the treatment done at Louis Licari. I walk in as a curly brunette and walk out a blonde with straight hair! Ha!

MM: How do you stay in shape? Favorite workouts?
JM: I train 6 days a week doing kettle bells, 1 hour at 4:30 am before work… And everyone wonders why I go to bed at 10 pm.

MM: What are your hobbies or things you do in your free time?
JM: I read a lot and I love to paddle board. I started three years ago and I’m hooked!

MM: Ultimate guilty pleasure?
JM: Ha.. That’s always my go-to question. Hmmm… So many… Ultimate? Joe’s Stone Crab. Now I’m hungry!
