Martha Stewart is seriously a beauty inspiration for women. In the summer, the award-winning TV host has often been photographed sporting super glowy makeup, and we need women in their 50s and beyond to take notes. The glowy look is not only seasonally appropriate, but it also does an excellent job at making mature skin appear more hydrated and fresh. Coverage that's just enough to even out the skin tone — and gives a dewy glow and touch of blush — is the kind of effortless and casual glamor every woman should aim for.

Martha and her makeup team are obviously well aware of what to look for in a foundation for mature skin, and it's definitely not heavy, matte foundation. Instead, the 83-year-old lifestyle icon opts for applying just the right amount of lightweight product that enhances her best features rather than trying to mask all the flaws. Martha's summer makeup look isn't just proof she doesn't need a full face of makeup to look incredible. It also shows other mature women that glowy skin isn't just for women under 30, and anyone can achieve it and wear it beautifully.

Martha Stewart has shown everyone, over and over again, that age is nothing but a number. Not only has Martha proved that women at any age can rock trends, she's now dominating the glowy, lightweight makeup trend that many believed wasn't possible to achieve with mature skin. While recreating the TV host's red carpet makeup is a bit out of reach for the everyday gal, Stewart's daily routine is doable for anyone. A quick look at her Get Ready With Me video in partnership with MERIT Beauty shows the entertainer is all about sheer, dewy coverage and a no frills routine that makes skin look like skin.

Believe it or not, when her glam team isn't around, Stewart's routine is so streamlined and simple that it can be done under five minutes. The clip starts with Stewart using a complexion stick that acts as both a foundation and concealer. In this case, it's MERIT's The Minimalist. After she uses a brush to blend it out, she jumps right into using a balm-style sheer bronzer, MERIT's Bronze Balm in Clay.

Then, Stewart follows the basics with a quick eye makeup routine that involves a sweep of warm beige eyeshadow, filling in a bit of her brows for light definition, and mascara. "I love mascara," she says. "I have nice long eyelashes and I like to show them off." Finally, her look is completed by applying a light layer of MERIT's Shade Slick lip oil in taupe.
