Courteney Cox shared a makeup tutorial in brief that really falls under the “less is more” theme, and people ate it up. The Friends star showed her 30-second beauty routine, and it feels like that much-needed relatable content: Thea 20-step procedure? Not here. Fancy edits? Nope. Just Courteney being herself, which says it all.

Honest in some places, she started her multitasking moisturizer routine saying that she goes back and forth between a couple of moisturizers. Followed by the concealer thing: a concealer that doubles as a base… No foundation? Well, she certainly lives the least-effort-most-impact life. And about that brow-journey transformation: she very openly admits her days of rock-thin brows in the Friends era, and now she’s hell-bent on microblading and growth serums to keep them full. The glow-up is real.
Winner in the mascara section and place to be: For Mascara Hack: she saves the day by adding a few drops of water to dilute the mascara whenever it dries up. Genius? Maybe. Controversial? For sure. The comment box went bonkers. One warned of bacteria; another advised saline solution. Others confided in using hot water to smooth out the mascara. The debate is still going on, people.
The funniest bits were somewhere else, actually. Another mentioned that now-famous interview where Courteney reportedly lost her eyelash curler somewhere in Atlantic City: “Glad to see you got your eyelash curler back from Atlantic City.” Laughter and a few “oh-so-true” nostalgic comments followed. Meanwhile, another fan had to call her out for deleting a comment about sunscreen, which she then had to clarify that it was deleted due to video quality and not because she is against SPF. (Spoiler: She really does love sunscreen, folks.)
The general feeling? Outright adoration. Name-Calling really flocked in the comments, calling her glowy, gorgeous, and the most beautiful influencer in the whole wide world (which is kind of true). One really got it right, calling her: You kicked the shit out of all influencers that have a ton of products. Simple and sweet. And really, isn’t that the ultimate compliment?
Courteney’s was not just a makeup tutorial; it was a tutorial of effortless, easy, authentic, and unfiltered. Keep that eyeliner a little messy, and defend the mascara hacks every day of the week. She’s teaching us that our beauty regimen doesn’t have to take forever. If that is not a life lesson, we don’t know what is.
