When you’re sixty-three but look twenty-three, people start to wonder and whisper… But FOF makeup artist Sandy Linter isn’t keeping any secrets. The go-to makeup artist for celebs such as Christie Brinkley, Bette Midler and Goldie Hawn speaks candidly about her own cosmetic surgeries, the products she loves and loathes, and even her own makeup mishaps (she once drew on Jackie O. with an un-sharpened eye pencil.)
And now, this open book has written a book: The Makeup Wakeup: Revitalizing Your Look at Any Age is Sandy and her co-author Lois Joy Johnson’s no-nonsense, spare-no-details beauty guide for FOFs. It’s chock-full of product recommendations, step-by-step tutorials and cosmetic solutions (surgical and non-surgical).
So you can whisper and wonder all you want about how she looks so good… Or just let Sandy tell you, herself.
“I’m not better than you,” says Sandy. “I’m just a girl who does makeup and I’m going to teach you how.”
Where did you grow up?
I was born in Brooklyn in 1947, and I grew up in Staten Island. I left Staten Island as soon as I could and moved to Manhattan. I lived in a tiny five-floor walk-up. My roommate and I paid $145 per month.
Wow, things have changed. What did you do when you first moved to New York?
I was a secretary. I would do all the employees’ makeup in the bathroom during lunch because I was unhappy with my job. My husband at the time convinced me to go to beauty school. I got my license and landed a job at a beauty counter of Bloomingdales, owned by a man named Mr. Kenneth. He ran a salon on Madison Avenue with clients such as Marilyn Monroe, Jackie O. and Barbara Walters. One day when he was in, I said to him, ‘Next time you need a makeup artist, would you consider me please?’ And he did. He hired me.
What confidence you had!
Women would stop at that counter all day and ask me wh

| Pets | Dogs In her 73 years, Sandy Linter has lived many lives as a make-up artist. In 1969, the Brooklyn-born, Staten Island-bred visionary began her career working for famed celebrity hairdresser Mr Kenneth Battelle in New York City, his clients Jackie Onassis and Barbara Walters serendipitously ending up in her make-up chair. In the ’70s, she struck out on her own, landing high-profile editorial work with photographers such as Irving Penn, Helmut Newton, and Arthur Elgort while embodying the era’s work-hard-play-hard mentality and becoming a dazzling fixture at Studio 54. And by the ’80s, she was regularly painting the faces of supermodels Iman, Cindy Crawford, and Patti Hansen for major campaigns and in the pages of Vogue. Since then, Linter hasn’t slowed down. In fact, with age, her skillset has grown, as she’s continued to work with a laundry list of famous faces including Christie Brinkley, Elizabeth Hurley, Debbie Harry, and Rita Wilson. “I can remember being ‘young Sandy the make-up artist’ and then middle-aged and then further on than middle-aged...” she laughs, in reference to her personal evolution over her decades-long career. At a time when the fashion industry is, at long last, embracing women above a certain age, Linter believes there’s no time like the present for older women to not just embrace make-up, but have fun with it. “There are no rules!” she insists, with just one addendum: “Wear the make-up, don’t have it wear you. Instead of trying to hide flaws, enhance what you’ve got.” From natural-looking coverage to subtle tricks that make the eyes pop, here is Linter’s guide to ageless beauty. Create a glowing baseNeedless to say, following a dedicated skin-care routine—cleansing, moisturising, and exfoliating—is an essential strategy for achieving a healthy complexion, especially over time. Before applying makeup, spread on a veil of a hydrating yet weightless moisturiser on clean skin. “Heavy moisturisers are just not compatible with makeup,” says Sandy, who some may know from her wonderful beauty-based Instagram feed, is an iconic original. Born in Brooklyn, raised in Staten Island, an intrepid young Sandy moved to Manhattan early in her career, had the good fortune to have been spotted early on as a shimmering talent, and has since lived a life surrounded by breathtaking beauty of every sort. Starting at the Bloomingdale’s makeup counter at the tender age of 21, by 27 the self-taught makeup artist was doing the faces for a who’s who of celebrity and society including Jackie O and Barbara Walters. It was the time of Studio 54, of the permanence of the glossy magazines, of fabulously creative fashion photography sessions, and she was at the center of it, literally. She was the blond featured in the famous Chris von Wangenheim fence photo with it girl of the moment Gia. She was in the in-crowd, a celebrity in her own right, along with the famous faces she brought to life. In 1979, Linter released Disco Beauty: Nighttime Makeup, her most iconic book to date, which many of her fans know her by. It was a time when she regularly worked with the great photographers of the time: Avedon, Elgort, Penn, and 20 years with Albert Watson. She did countless covers of Vogue, working on superstar models Brooke Shields, Patti Hansen, Tara Shannon, Rachel Hunter, Rosie Vela, Gia, Anjelica Huston, and Christie Brinkley. Sandy worked with supermodel Cheryl Tiegs in the entire decade of the 1980s, and has been doing Elizabeth Hurley since 1995, doing all the big campaigns for Estée Lauder. |
