Ryan Seacrest's Glow Up

Hello, Gorgeous!

For the past few days I touched on sparkly things. Here’s one more to add to the list: Have you seen the decidedly glowy Ryan Seacrest lately?

The newly minted 50-year-old multi-hyphenate looks incredible. I won’t delve into guesses about any potential nip/tuck/injectables. I do believe the perenially youthful Seacrest either has a great team enhancing his face as needed or has inked multiple deals with Old Scratch. Perhaps both.

Seacrest no doubt has makeup artists working his face to subtle perfection. And one can only assume that multiple filters are then artfully applied to photos before posting anything to his social media. But as such a public face, Seacrest also has artful lighting at almost all times.

There’s a video making the rounds of social media of Seacrest’s mobile lighting team. It isn’t unusual. He’s broadcasting and lit appropriately — even if it takes a team of three rather than a random ring light perched precariously above his iPhone. But the thing is that we take it for granted that his luminous face always appears so. It can’t. But Seacrest — like his female celebrity counterparts — makes a living based in large part on his face and form. His pursuit of perfection is part of his job requirement. But for most of us, looking lovely is something we do out of habit, or because it feels good to enhance what we have.

Here’s the thing. We’re so used to analyzing or commenting on the looks of female celebrities that we sometimes take the incredible looks of their male counterparts for granted. Am I suggesting that we nitpick everyone’s looks equally? Nope. But I am suggesting that in the year ahead we make a vow to be more gentle with our own beautifully aging countenances.

Who’s with me?
