Dakota Johnson's Summer Glow Is Thanks To Beauty Pie - Here's How To Recreate It In 3 Steps
Hot off the heels of her Materialists US press tour, Dakota Johnson has been making headlines beyond the impressive reviews racking up for the modern rom-com in which she stars alongside Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal.
When it's not her enviable fringe (and the products behind her light-reflecting glass hair) or her ineffably stylish wardrobe, which has seen the actor experiment with everything from Ferragamo co-ords to off-duty suede and denim and sheer one-pieces – it's her signature glow that's capturing the world's attention.
Contrary to popular opinion, Johnson's radiant complexion is not the work of an on-hand A-list facialist and next-gen treatments, nor a 10-step routine harnessing the most luxurious of formulas; it's all down to an affordable, editor-loved make-up brand.
During the latest New York press tour, her make-up artist, Georgie Eisdell, in fact revealed that the secret to Johnson's impossibly glowing complexion was all thanks to subscription service Beauty Pie, the brainchild of Marcia Kilgore who, tired of the eye-watering mark-ups that are all too common in the beauty industry today, decided to expel the luxe marketing and bring to the fore skincare, make-up and hair-care direct from suppliers – and at far more affordable price tags.
Some of the products responsible for creating Johnson's summer glow retail for as little as £8 for members. 'I started with the Superluminous Tinted Glow Serum in Light Warm to even out the complexion and add a natural glow,' said Eisdell, following with the much-loved Everyday Great Skin Concealer – the kind that instantly brightens under the eyes and can cover all manner of sins while still letting your skin breathe and looking lightweight and fresh.
As for Johnson's sunlit glow, there were three products to which she can credit that luminous, light-reflecting finish: the Awesome Bronze Bronzing Cream in Sunny Side, Luxe Shine Blush in Terra Rosa and the Triple Beauty Luminising Highlighter Wand. 'To warm up the complexion, I used the bronzer across the cheekbones, temples and jawline; then I tapped the blush stick on the apples of the cheek for a fresh pop of colour and finished the skin with a swipe of highlighter on the high points,' she added. The result is a sun-kissed, natural-looking glow that teeters on the borders of glass skin, while also still appearing with fresh and dewy.
Her make-up artist also shared which skincare she used to create her Materialists glow from the inside out. You might recognise some of the formulas responsible too - including the Beauty Of Joseon Revive Eye Serum and the Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics SPF50+.
Rare is it for Johnson to reveal the inner secrets of her beauty routine. In the past, while keeping specific product specifications to herself, she has revealed she is a fan of LED masks and facial massage (to boost lymphatic drainage) and harnesses various meditative practices for mind-body connection, too.

'Materialists' Totally Set Dakota Johnson's Character for Up Failure and You Can't Convince Us Otherwise
Materialists poses the question of whether or not we should be going for love or for money and the choice Dakota Johnson's character makes has people on internet divided The film also stars Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans Materialists is in theaters nowMovies have long wanted to convince us that we should be marrying for love. From The Notebook to Titanic, films have always suggested that women should follow their hearts and go for the sweet charmer with no money instead of the well-established gentleman who has financial stability. (Granted, Billy Zane's character in Titanic was awful, but stay with me here.) Well, Materialists has repurposed that trope once again, and the internet is seething. The film follows Lucy (played by Dakota Johnson), a successful matchmaker who has managed to find love for everyone except for herself. Her skills are immediately tested when she finds herself in a love triangle with Harry (played by Pedro Pascal), a successful billionaire who errs on the side of superficiality but is offering her the world, vs. John (played by Chris Evans), her ex-boyfriend, who offers her lots of love and affection, but works from gig to gig while trying to get an acting career off the ground. The film takes us through all the hijinks of a romcom as both men have their pros and cons and try to woo her. In the end, Lucy goes for John, the broke boy who loves her dearly, but can't provide her with the lifestyle she always dreamed of. And while the internet is upset over the fact that Pedro Pascal doesn't get the girl, the truth of the matter is, Lucy was set up for failure from the jump. As PEOPLE editor Bailey Richards pointed out. Regardless of whom she was going to end up with, Lucy was going to be settling. "I don't think she should have ended up with either of them," Richards says, considering Bailey's options. "Marry this hot, caring man who will pay for everything for you for the rest of your life — any materialistic whim you may have. He doesn't love you, but he will pay anything. Or a hot, caring man who does love you, but makes no money ... he will drop anything, at any given moment to do whatever for you." We can all agree that the only real winners are Lucy's children (if she wants any), who will 100% win the genetic lottery regardless of which guy she chooses. However, when it comes to meeting the standards Lucy deeply desires, she's bound to lose regardless. So, instead of settling for the loverboy with no money, Richards believes Lucy should have actually axed both men. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. "After everything that she, as a matchmaker, as a woman, goes through in that movie, she just needs to break from romance altogether and do some introspection, the kind that requires you to be single and be alone," says Richards. Personally, the right choice for me is always Pedro Pascal. But I have to agree with my colleague here. Relationships are hard, even when you find everything you want in a person, so why give yourself more heartache by settling for someone who doesn't meet your standards?

His salary for 28 Years Later isn't known, but with a cast that features Ralph Fiennes and Jodie Comer and a $75 million budget, Taylor-Johnson's pay is likely to be modest. In Kraven the Hunter in 2024, while the box-office take was disappointing, Taylor-Johnson reportedly earned $2 million for his role, according to Showbiz Galore.

Chris Martin's Confirmed Rumored Relationships Over the Years
The frontman of Coldplay, Chris Martin, has been with quite a few of the beautiful leading ladies in Hollywood. Most famously, he was married to Oscar-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow for well over a decade, and was engaged to beloved actress Dakota Johnson. And as many of you know, he and Johnson sadly broke up after eight years together. A source spoke to The Sun that they broke up for two reasons, 'They really tried to work through their issues but the age gap was often a problem and she'd expressed that she may want children in the future, whereas Chris is kind of done with that part of his life but they discussed it.' But did you know he dated another Oscar-winning actress? Or that he's been linked to quite a few other A-listers? So we put on our detective hats and did some digging, and oh boy, there are a lot of rumors. Not only are we going into all the confirmed relationships Martin has been in, but the rumored ones he's been in (and if they're true or not!) Below, check out Chris Martin's entire dating history! More from SheKnows Chris Martin Just Wore a Telling Accessory Amid First Outing Since Dakota Johnson Split Best of SheKnows 17 Movies & TV Shows That Educate About the History of American Slavery 13 Times Meghan Markle Reminded Us So Much of Princess Diana 24 Times Kate Middleton Perfectly Recreated Princess Diana's Iconic Fashion Before he made it big, Martin dated Lily Sobhani, a British live‑events producer, around the time of Coldplay's debut album Parachutes. Not much else is known about their romance, except for the fact that they dated in the early 2000s. Okay, so back in 2000, it was rumored that collaborators Natalia Imbruglia and Chris Martin dated, and some reports claimed it was 2002. Either way, they allegedly dated pre-Paltrow days, but neither has confirmed or denied the romance. Women's Day claimed that Martin was thinking about her a lot, according to sources who alleged this in 2014. And you know the song 'Shiver' from Coldplay? It was rumored to be about her, but Martin denied that. So put that rumor to rest! Gwyneth Paltrow and Martin were together from 2003 to 2016, and during that time, they welcomed two children named Apple, born in 2004, and Moses, born in 2006. But let's rewind a bit! They first reportedly met backstage at a Coldplay concert in 2002, but in 2003, they confirmed in December that they were expecting and got hitched. They eloped in a secret ceremony in Santa Barbara, Calif, and were happily married for over a decade. Paltrow and Martin announced their separation in 2014, when Paltrow uploaded a post on the Goop website titled 'Conscious Uncoupling.' 'It is with hearts full of sadness that we have decided to separate. We have come to the conclusion that while we love each other very much we will remain separate. We are, however, and always will be a family, and in many ways we are closer than we have ever been,' she said. 'We have always conducted our relationship privately, and we hope that as we consciously uncouple and co-parent, we will be able to continue in the same manner.' But they are super-close to this day, despite the divorce, which was finalized in 2016. You probably remember those rumors of Kate Bosworth and Martin allegedly having an affair in 2009. But y'all, those were totally rumors! Martin's reps even denied it via Fox News. The Alexa Chung rumors started over a late-night milkshake at Glastonbury in 2013. Eyewitnesses and insiders alleged that it was the beginning of a romance, but a spokesperson for Martin denied the claims. 'They are definitely not dating,' they told The Metro via The Independent. Kylie Minogue and Martin were at the center of dating rumors in 2015, but no dating here! They're actually the best of buddies! 'I was a Coldplay fan from, I mean Millennium. I may have worn out the CD,' Minogue said to UsWeekly, talking about the letter he sent her. 'I was just so, there's a mutual respect and admiration and friendship and love there.' Did you know that Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Martin dated? Because we definitely forgot about this. They reportedly started dating around June 2014 after she went to a Coldplay performance in London. Per People, they split for the first time three months after they were first linked together. However, they got back together soon after, but they broke up for good in Aug 2015. Sources claimed to People, 'He's crazy about Jen but wants to keep his own schedule and be able to do what he wants when he wants to do it.' And sources also claimed Lawrence got 'tired of Chris being so noncommittal.' In 2015, Martin and Annabelle Wallis started dating after they met through mutual friends. 'He has moved on quickly and has been seeing Annabelle Wallis for about a month,' an insider told Us Weekly about the relationship between the singer and the 'Peaky Blinders' actor. 'He visited her while she was filming in Vancouver and really likes her.' They broke up in 2017 due to their crazy scheduling. However, they got back together two months after that in Aug. 'Their crazy work schedules make it difficult to see each other sometimes and they drifted apart. But recently they have been making more of an effort and have decided to give things another shot,' an insider said to The Sun. 'They have a lot of history together and don't want to throw everything away. There are just a few more months left on Coldplay's tour and then they will be able to spend more time together and work around Annabelle's schedule.' But they broke up sometime between then and Oct 2017 when he was spotted with Dakota Johnson. Dakota Johnson and Martin started dating in 2017 after being set up by mutual friends. They didn't confirm their relationship until a year later, and they moved in together in 2021. Specifically, they moved into Martin's Malibu mansion in 2021. A year later, he sold it and moved to another home in Malibu. Fun fact: Johnson told SheKnows that her Daddio co-star Sean Penn is one of their celebrity neighbours. In 2018, soon after their romance became public, Harper's Bazaar reported that the two were seen with matching infinity symbol tattoos, with Johnson's on her elbow and Martin's on the inside of his arm. There was a rumor that they briefly broke up in the summer of 2019, but quickly reconciled. While we don't know the exact time they got engaged, many sources claim it was years ago, but the two weren't too eager to set a date. They were plagued with breakup rumors again inthe summer of 2024, as we said previously. Sadly, Martin and Johnson called it quits for good in June 2025. A source spoke to The Sun about what led to their breakup, saying, 'They really tried to work through their issues but the age gap was often a problem and she'd expressed that she may want children in the future, whereas Chris is kind of done with that part of his life but they discussed it.'
