Kelly Ripa Suffers Beauty Blunder Before ‘Live with Kelly and Mark’ Taping: ‘Something Doesn’t Look Right’

Whoops!

Kelly Ripa experienced a major makeup mishap while getting ready to film Live with Kelly and Mark with husband Mark Consuelos on Monday, January 5.

“This morning I woke up, I was very disoriented. We’d been on vacation, didn’t know where I was,” she explained to the audience. “Started getting ready a little bit in the dark because I don’t like to wake, you know, I don’t like [to] illuminate the room; I don’t want the bedroom to be illuminated when I start putting makeup on.”

Ripa, 55, reached for what she thought was her foundation stick and started putting it on.

“Something doesn’t look right, but I sort of keep going,” she recalled. “I just keep adding more and more and more and more. And if I look strange to you this morning, it’s because I was putting contour all over my face.”

Consuelos, 54, of course, reassured his wife of 29 years that she looked “great!”

“I look like I’ve been somewhere,” Ripa replied. “Everyone’s like, ‘Oh, you’re tan.’ I’m not. I used a contour stick as foundation.”

The talk show host has previously spoken about her makeup routine — and how getting older has affected her skin.

“I do contouring of my face in the morning. It really is like painting by the numbers when I do my makeup,” Ripa shared on the show back in 2023, per People. “It’s like cheekbones, jawline, you know, the whole thing.”

“And then, when I sculpt my nose, which is a whole trick that [makeup artist] Kristofer Buckle taught me, I find that, now that I’m older, I use, like, twice as much,” she continued. “There’s more real estate.”
