Hoda Kotb’s ‘TODAY Show’ Hair and Makeup Team Shares At-Home Beauty Tips

Hoda Kotb assembled her amazing “TODAY Show” beauty team — Laura B Castorino, Kathy Galotti, and Mary Kahler — in the TODAY Show Radio studio to break down some simple (but vital) home beauty tips.

“I have the top drawer of glamour and fashion in my studio,” Hoda said. “And when I say ‘top drawer,’ I mean these are the people who are responsible for all of the celebs — many of whom you know — and they’re here!”

Tips from the Experts

1. Use a bristle brush on wet hair.

Use a bristle brush when you blow-dry to add shine! Metal will heat up and burn the hair. The thicker your hair, the thicker the bristles. The finer your hair, the thinner the bristles.

Try these brands: Marilyn, Ibiza, Spornettte, Red E To Go

2. Don’t wash your hair too often.

Wash it every third day (Monday, Thursday).

3. Pick a foundation color a shade lighter than your skin.

Test it on your jawline!

Try these brands: Lancome Powder, L’Oreal True Match (Cool, Warm, Neutral)

Invest In These Items

• Two foundation colors: A light and dark tone to contour your face.
• A bristle brush: It will keep your hair shiny and prevent breakage.
• Two hair colors: Mixing two shades of color in your hair gives the most natural look.
