Martha Stewart did it again. After her accidental thirst trap by the pool went viral last summer, she surprised fans with a new one late Friday afternoon – so she promptly deleted it.
In the photo, which has already been removed from her page, Stewart wears full makeup, including brown eyeshadow, eyelash extensions, nude lipstick and some highlighter. She is also pouting, the same facial expression she had on the accidental selfie in the pool.
Stewart revealed in the caption that his longtime makeup artist, Nicole Daisy Toye, set up the smoky look for a photo shoot.

By the time Insider saw the post, before it was removed, the comment section was already lit up with 1.2 million followers of Stewart pouring praise on it.
“Martha! These headquarters traps are wiping out the internet!” one person wrote.
“MARTHA STEWART you are so beautiful, omg !!!!! You didn’t need to make us all look bad !!!!!” another said.
Toye later shared what appeared to be the same photo of Stewart’s most recent look on his own Instagram page, but did not share any details about the products they used. This post has also been removed.
However, in an older post showing another of Stewart’s looks, Toye listed Maybelline mascara, Urban Decay eyeshadow and Laura Mercier as some of his “favorite products”.
It is not clear whether any of these products were used to create the latest smoky trap look at Stewart’s headquarters.
Toye did not immediately respond to Insider’s request for comment.
The key to recreating Stewart’s look? Good quality makeup and lighting
Toye worked with Stewart for over 10 years, and people really wants to know what makeup she wears for the famous chef and 79-year-old lifestyle guru.
In a December story about how Stewart “remains ready for Zoom”, Rory Satran of The Wall Street Journal wrote that Toye is “bombarded” with messages from people who want to copy Stewart’s look. Toye said he always recommends the same four things: plenty of sunscreen and foundation, sunscreen and good quality blush.
The “secret sauce” for looking good on camera, Satran added, is to have a good ring of LED light on hand, as Toye and Stewart do.

Stewart’s typical routine involves drugstore eyeliner, green juice and occasional filling
In November, Stewart told People Magazine that she never had a facelift, but did fillings “maybe twice a year”.
And her dermatologist told Elle’s Chloe Hall in July that a good diet helps keep Stewart’s skin youthful, saying that the famous chef “eats incredibly healthy” and “starts every morning with green juice” (which is part of Stewart’s daily routine since at least 2012).
In the same interview, the dermatologist revealed that Stewart also trusts serum, mask, drugstore eyeliner and sunscreen.
Stewart knows the pitfalls of headquarters well, although he has only recently discovered what they are.
In July, Stewart’s sensual selfie in the pool went viral and was instantly labeled a thirst trap several times.
Months later, she revealed that she didn’t even intend to take a selfie.
“I was trying to take a picture of the beautiful turquoise planter at the end of the pool, but the camera was on me, so I just took it. It looked so good, so I posted it, ”she told People Magazine.
“I didn’t know what a ‘thirst trap’ was, but now I do,” she added, mentioning that she was on the hunt for her next thirst trap.
The new smoky eye selfie, sadly excluded, counts? Stewart’s legion of fans certainly seemed to think so.
