If ever there was a multi-hyphenate, it’s Bethenny Frankel. She rose to fame nearly 15 years ago when she appeared on “The Real Housewives of New York,” quickly becoming a fan favorite for her sharp wit and what many called her Greek chorus-type comments. .
In 2009, Frankel released Skinnygirl Margarita, and her star power and success skyrocketed. In the years that followed, Frankel built an empire. His company, BB Endeavors, has successfully launched everything from shapewear to salad dressing. On top of that, he’s written nine books (five of which have made the New York Times bestseller list), launched a podcast, had a show on HBO Max, and appeared regularly on “Shark Tank.”
But Frankel isn’t just about business. Since its official launch in 2017, his B Strong Foundation has raised and distributed millions of dollars in cash and supplies to people in crisis. More recently, B Strong has been actively helping people in Ukraine. Oh, and Frankel doesn’t just send money. He has been known to fly to areas affected by natural disasters to roll up his sleeves and do whatever he can to help.

Now Frankel can add another bullet point to her resume: beauty influencer. Earlier this year, the mogul began posting videos to Instagram (where she has almost 3 million followers) and TikTok (where she has a million followers). Her videos have racked up hundreds of thousands of views. She is candid about which expensive purchases are worth her money and which are just “not up to par.” And while she certainly has a bank account that could only support investing in luxury goods, she admits she loves a good cheap buy, which is why she also reviews the best (and not-so-good) drugstore buys.
Ask him what beauty product he can’t live without, and Frankel is, as always, honest. “There is no beauty product that I can’t live without because there are so many great beauty products out there,” he tells CNN Underscored. “What I’ve learned is that a lot of different beauty products do exactly the same thing.” Here, CNN Underscored asked Frankel to share the beauty purchases he feels the most.
“Patrick Ta makes an amazing eyeshadow palette because it’s pretty and it’s cream based,” shares Frankel. “He has neutral colors, but he also has that sparkle and shine that we all want.”
If you’re having trouble covering dark circles, Frankel has a solution. “I’m a big fan of Charlotte Tilbury’s under-eye concealer if you have dark circles,” says Frankel. “Also, Charlotte Tilbury on the whole is good at small travel packaging.”
Looking for a great, affordable foundation? Frankel has a recommendation: “As far as drugstore brands go, Neutrogena is great on anything that comes in contact with the skin, meaning not color cosmetics per se, but concealer or foundation,” Frankel says.
“CoverGirl is good at the proven classics – they make great mascaras that I love,” says Frankel. “What I really like about CoverGirl is that they have a new line that is all about clean beauty. They are a big, massive brand that is thinking a lot about the future.”
“I really like the Laura Geller Sponge Liquid Cheek Blush,” says Frankel. “It is unique and different. No one else has one that size. The colors are great and it’s a tried and true brand.”
