She captured hearts portraying the iconic fashionista Carrie Bradshaw and now she’s captivated beauty lovers’ undivided attention as a skin care spokeswoman. In a world where the beauty industry continually evolves with groundbreaking innovations, Sarah Jessica Parker stands tall as a beacon of timeless elegance.
Proudly championing her acting legacy, audiences recently reacquainted with the screen siren, thanks to the reprisal of her roles as Sarah Sanderson in Hocus Pocus 2 and, of course, Carrie herself in And Just Like That.

Her magnetic presence has made her a beloved figure not only on the silver screen but also within the realms of beauty and fashion. Beyond the glitz and glamour of Hollywood, SJP’s genuine passion for skin care and self-care shines through in her beauty routine and philosophy.
Sarah Jessica Parker’s approach to social media
Much like her devotion to her iconic roles, SJP remains loyal to her tried and true beauty faves. Nothing beats the classics and, to the actress, this extends to TikTok trends.
Speaking to The Zoe Report, she revealed, “I don’t know trends, I’m not on TikTok so I don’t know what people are doing. I’ve never done contouring or shading or wearing false eyelashes or anything.”
She echoed this sentiment when speaking to Glossy; “I’ve never been on TikTok,” she said.
We don’t blame you, SJP! Wish we could curb our app addictions that easily…
Nevertheless, her pared-back approach to skin care and makeup is reflective of her overarching beauty philosophy.
“I certainly have an interest in taking care of my skin. I’m vain enough to want it to look as best as it can. We live, we wake up, we hope to add another day, we hope to add another month, we hope to add another year. And with that comes a lot of hugely important, valuable, meaningful experiences,” she said to Glossy.

It’s this stance that has landed her the role of RoC Skincare ambassador. For the second year in a row, she has signed as a partner to the brand’s #LookForwardProject, an initiative centred around embracing optimism while ageing.
For SJP, this means engaging in self care; emotionally and physically.
While keeping a healthy distance from social media is one component, as beauty aficionados, we could never forget the products themselves!
These are a few of her favourites…
Sarah Jessica Parker’s beauty routine
RoC Retinol Correxion Max Hydration Cream
According to SJP, she uses this cream “very deliberately, every single night.” If it gives her that Carrie-level glow, it ought to be good!

RoC Multi Correxion Revive + Glow Gel Cream
As a new addition to her routine, Sarah has introduced the Revive + Glow slowly.
“I tend to use new things sort of slowly because I’m not sure, especially if it has retinol or any corrective stuff in it. I tend to be a little bit careful with the process because I have sensitive skin,” she says.

Laura Mercier Caviar Eye Stick
Sarah Jessica Parker is a known fan of Laura Mercier’s Eye Sticks. Thanks to their convenient stick application and easy-to-blend cream formula, she often opts for the shades ‘Khaki’, ‘Jungle’ and ‘Tuxedo.

What are your thoughts on SJP’s approach to TikTok? Can you relate?
I’m not on tiktok either.
With more talk of possibly banning it in Oz, I’m not considering joining.
I totally agree with her. I’m not on Tiktok, never had fake eyelashes ( I actually tried once and it was an epic fail) and I do like to take care of my skin.
I agree with all you say as well. Not on tiktok or used fake eyelashes and do like to look after my skin.
Good on her -She has her own values and doesn’t need TikTok to endorse them.
Totally agree JuJu47 – she has enough of a following as it is
I don’t do contouring but if I had her bone structure I wouldn’t need to!
Love that she is her own women
cool
Good on her for being comfortable in her own skin! It’s rare to see that in celebrities.
Most of the “trends” I hear that are said to originate on Tik Tok are ridiculous. Some are even dangerous.
I love the idea of the #LookForwardProject, there is so much pressure on people to look young at any cost. It would be great if we were all more comfortable in our skin at any age.
A very enjoyable read. I’m about the same age as SJP and can relate to her views in this article.
tiktok, can not even believe these things gained such popularity and even existence of it…just don’t get it
I agree Yolanda why let strangers affect your life and decisions
Good for her! I don’t use TikTok either
I love Sarah, and Carrie!
Some of the hacks on Tik Tok are woeful
I’m not in to TT or much into social media in general. Too much of a time waster and not into trends either
Time waster is the word. All the social media on the phones waste time but sometimes they are useful to contact someone.
Love that blush shade
She doesn’t need contouring.
I laughed when I read “I’m vain enough to want it to look as best as it can” because it reminded me of a friend who went to a school reunion this year. She was asked by a male if she is High Maintenance. She had a fabulous come back “If you mean I look after myself, then Yes”.
I really like this lady. I don’t use Tiktok at all.
Sarah Jessica Parker always looks so happy and content.
Shes a natural beauty. Those cheekbones, she doesnt need contouring.
TikTok is addictive, stay away! But TikTok also has taught me a few things especially when I just had my first born, i had no idea what i was doing in the first year
I’m not a trend chaser. Just do what works with your facial features.
I don’t use tiktok. But watch some life hacks on it.
I don’t use tiktok
And she still looks great
