“I’m a supermodel,” declared Bethenny Frankel, Real Housewives alum, Skinnygirl founder, and former NewBeauty digital cover star in one of her latest TikTok videos. At 53, the reality star turned entrepreneur has carved out a niche on social media, known for her candid reviews of products she dislikes and her enthusiastic endorsements of those she loves. Recently, she’s stirred up attention on TikTok with her passionate praise of the makeup-artist-helmed cosmetics line Laura Geller.
“It took me five minutes to get ready,” she continued in the video. “I’m going to tell you exactly what I did because…look at me.” In the video, she boasts a blowout, complemented by voluminous lashes, bronzed lids, a hint of gloss, and a sun-kissed complexion. “Someone who works with me was like, ‘What’s going on,'” seemingly in reference to her glamorous appearance, to which she jokingly replied, “I don’t know, cause I’m a model, so, too bad,” suggesting her newfound confidence from using Geller’s products.
Frankel’s TikTok video doesn’t show any obvious signs or disclosure statements that it’s a paid partnership, suggesting it’s likely an authentic review. Many of her 1.8 million Instagram followers have joined the conversation in the comments, praising the brand as well. “This makes me happy for this brand bc I feel like it’s underrated,” one person wrote. Another commented, “I love Laura Geller makeup. It’s so easy to apply and it literally takes five minutes.”

Step 1: Hydrate With Laura Geller’s Skin Perfecting Primer
The beauty guru began by prepping her skin with Laura Geller’s Skin Perfecting Primer in Hydrate, which, unsurprisingly, is formulated for dry skin. (The brand also offers options like Bronze for a radiant finish and the original for a soft, smooth base.) She explained how this step ensured a flawless application of powder foundation without any chalkiness.

After applying the brand’s makeup primer, Frankel reached for the Retractable Angled Kabuki Brush, praising its versatility: “It can be tight or loose [editor’s note: you can adjust its density], so you can use it for bronzer or for foundation.” She used it with the Baked N’ Brighten Color Correcting Foundation, loved for its customizable light-to-medium coverage and natural, skin-like finish.

Step 3: Swipe on Blush and Bronzer
Next, she warmed up her complexion with blush and bronzer. “The squeezy blush is better than any squeezy blush because it’s not in a tube, and it’s phatter,” noting that she went with the rosy-pink shade named Practical Pink. She then applied bronzer to her forehead and cheekbones, followed by sweeping bronzer and blush across her eyelids, which made them pop.

Step 4: Finish With Jelly Balm Hydrating Lip Color
To complete her look, she applied Laura Geller’s Jelly Balm Hydrating Lip Color in the shade “In the Buff,” described by the brand as a “neutral pink.” The formula delivers a semi-shine finish that combines the comfort of a lip balm with the saturated color of a lipstick. Plus, it provides lip-nourishing benefits with hydrating glycerin and vitamin E.
