• Lily Tomlin’s makeup artist, Bonita De Haven, revealed she uses Dermablend Insta-Grip Jelly Primer on the set of Grace and Frankie.

• “Shoot days can be long and primer gave her foundation and makeup the ability to last,” De Haven said of the product.

• Meanwhile, Tomlin’s hairstylist, Marlene Williams, revealed that she uses Better Not Younger Superpower Fortifying Hair Serum to perfect the star’s signature mane.

We’re all done streaming the final episodes of the iconic Grace and Frankie (season 7 dropped at the end of April if you missed the memo), and we still can’t get over the finale or that Dolly Parton cameo. But while we’re mourning seven years of following the dynamic duo of Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda, we’re still dreaming about the style icons that are Tomlin’s bohemian and funky styled Frankie and Fonda’s elegant and classy Grace.

In an interview with Vogue, Tomlin’s makeup artist Bonita De Haven revealed how she matched Tomlin’s makeup look to enhance her colorful wardrobe–and the perfect primer she used to ensure the makeup stayed in place: Dermablend Insta-Grip Jelly Primer.

“Shoot days can be long and primer gave her foundation and makeup the ability to last,” De Haven told Vogue. The makeup pro turned to Dermablend Insta-Grip Jelly Primer for the ultimate, long-lasting wear.

“Her makeup needed to reflect natural while enhancing her lovely features,” De Haven said. The most important step in Tomlin’s makeup routine was the primer, which creates the perfect base to smooth fine lines, reduce shine, and set the stage for her face makeup.

And this product is a fan favorite. With nearly 1,400 Amazon reviews and a 4.5-star rating, it’s no wonder De Haven trusted this on Tomlin. The product boasts a three-in-one capability that works as a primer, moisturizer, and a tightening mask–and reviewers are all about it.

One customer raved, “The moment you apply it to your face your skin feels firm and moisturized. Applying your foundation and other products goes on smoothly and [lasts] all day. I think it’s a great product for women of all ages.” Other reviewers said it’s a “fantastic primer for older women” and others claim it “fills in lines, tightens, and improves staying power of foundation.”

And when it came to Tomlin’s ultra-long grey locks, her hairstylist Marlene Williams revealed Tomlin actually used a full lace-front wig that was air-dried and touched up with a curling iron and lightweight hair oil to add definition and tame flyaways. Williams reached for the Better Not Younger Superpower Fortifying Hair Serum to get the job done.

If you were as sad as we were about the end of the incredible Netflix show–don’t worry! The two ladies revealed they’re working on a major new project after Grace & Frankie ends, so we’ll be on the lookout for their next big thing.
