The Glowy Vitamin C Serum Behind Connie Britton’s ‘No-Makeup Makeup’ Look for Tonight’s Emmys

We’ve said it before, and we’ll shout it again: Sign us up for all the beauty secrets Connie Britton is dishing out.

While the 55-year-old The White Lotus star’s hair might get the unwavering award for having a large cult-following over the years, tonight’s glowing “no-makeup makeup” look is clearly giving those star strands a run for their money—all while adding a few more “musts” to our list.

According to Britton’s makeup artist, Kristin Hilton, “normally, we go a bit smoky on her eyes, but after seeing Connie’s watermelon-pink dress, I wanted to do fresh, luminous, bouncy skin with a flush of cheek and brightness in the eyes.” (Hilton went for a full Beautycounter-fueled lineup; Britton is friends with one of the brand’s original team members, Christy Coleman, and had her makeup artist on the set of Nashville always have it in-stock.)

First up: Hilton applied Beautycounter’s All Bright C Serum ($90) “because there’s no better way to brighten the complexion than with a powerful C” serum (this ultra-potent pick has a 10-percent blend of two forms of vitamin C, plus turmeric and camu camu). “I followed that up with the Countermatch Adaptive Moisture Lotion ($54), which I always use to prep the skin—it hydrates without leaving a greasy barrier on the skin so it’s perfect under makeup.”

Using a wet Beautycounter Better Blender sponge ($22), Hilton then applied the Skin Twin Foundation ($50) to “create a natural and fresh complexion” with the Skin Twin Concealer ($34). “I wanted to bring a bit of the brightness of her dress into her cheeks, so what better product to use than the Cheeky Clean Cream Blush ($42) in Rosebud; I applied it to the apple of her cheeks to create a gorgeous, juicy glow.”

Also making the makeup cut: Lid Glow Cream Shadow ($27) in Aura and Sepia, followed by Think Big All-In-One Mascara ($30) (a true, rich black), and the Petal Sheer Genius Lipstick ($35) in Petal with a touch of Beyond Gloss ($32) in Peony for a bit of shine.

You won’t catch Leonard Fabrizio wearing a tie to work — more likely you’ll find a tape measure draped around his neck, stuck beneath the collar of a smart sport coat, paired with a pocket square.

But he sure will sell you a tie, and a jacket and pants and pocket square, to boot. (Cuff links? Sure, get the cuff links, too.)

Fabrizio just may be Columbia’s master of menswear.

On Saturday, he celebrates 82 years of life and 64 years of dressing everyone from the most dapper to the most clueless among Columbia’s suited men.

“What attracted me to this business is you never get bored,” said Fabrizio, a popular salesman at Brittons, one of Columbia’s oldest retail stores. “At my age, I’ve had some customers, I’m with their third and fourth generations of the family.”

Brittons, a 75-year-old specialty menswear store on Columbia’s trendy Devine Street, is the “homestretch” of Fabrizio’s long career selling clothes in the capital city. A Columbia native, he got his start in retail working at the J.C. Penney store on Main Street — back when Main Street had department stores — while studying at the University of South Carolina.

Fabrizio said he developed his own style through the years by looking to more experienced men around him as well as learning to be himself. The fast-paced, ever-changing nature of fashion kept him wrapped up in the work for decades, even owning his own upscale menswear store, Weathers, for more than 20 years.

He even managed a Brittons store for a while in the 1980s, then returned to the business about six years ago, apparently still in the prime of his sales days.

During a difficult year for retail in 2020, Fabrizio helped carry Brittons with a motto that’s stuck with him through many challenging years of business: “Tough times don’t last. Tough people do.”

“That helped us survive as a family during 2020,” said Stacy Levinson, the store’s owner. “To find a person with passion, not only in their life but their livelihood, that’s unique.”

Brittons manager Perry Lancaster said Fabrizio is “always on.”

“It’s just phenomenal to work with the master that he is,” Lancaster said.

Brittons will throw a party at the store in Fabrizio’s honor on Saturday. Even at the age of 82, he still has a few years to go to catch up with Brittons’ oldest employee, Levinson and Lancaster point out with a grin. That’s Rhena Denberg, the 86-year-old star of the store’s women’s department.

MARION COUNTY, SC (WMBF) - After being out of their home school for more than 6 weeks parents of students who attend Brittons Neck Elementary in Marion County are airing their frustration.

"I just feel we want our kids back to BNE because that's where they belong," parent Jameka Caesar said.

The elementary school is the only school building in Marion County that has yet to reopen since Hurricane Florence devastated the area.

On September 11th all Marion County schools closed its doors shortly before the storm hit the area.

Nearly two weeks later on September 27th Mullins and Marion area schools were reopened while Creek Bridge High School and Brittons Neck Elementary remained closed.

"Everything's changed, from the kids to the staff, everything is a lot harder on them than it used to be," parent Roberta Hemingway said.

While students from both schools returned back to classes on October 3rd, students from Brittons Neck Elementary are currently being housed in two different schools. The school has 244 students. Kindergarten through 2nd grade is at Esterling Primary School and 3rd grade through 5th grade is at Marion Intermediate School.

District officials said after 15 days of being out of school because of Hurricane Florence they had to come up with a plan to get the students back in a learning environment. However, it’s a planned parent said is proving to be tough on their kids

"It's like a road trip okay we're going to stop here first, then put the children on the bus, then we're going to go to another school,” Chasia Taylor said. “It's crazy. It's too much for these kids."

Even more so for Amanda Rodriguez, who has two kids in the school.

"I mean you went from having sisters in one school to suddenly you got sisters going to two separate schools. Both of them like to be together. I like for them to be together," Rodriguez said.

In a response through email, a spokesperson with the school district sent the following:

"Please know that our district recognizes that any transition during a school year presents some level of challenge for students and concerns for parents.

The Brittons Neck Elementary School became compromised after extensive flooding in the lower part of Marion County. There was a mounting concern over the number of days students were out of the learning environment. After being out of school for 15 days, the district was fortunate to implement a plan to get our Brittons Neck students back into the school using available space in other district schools.

Various aspects of the building have been assessed including air quality. The results are currently being reviewed and the district is working with companies to create a plan that will honor our commitment to the health and safety of our students and staff. As soon as a plan is in place, it will be shared with parents."

While parents agree safety’s a top priority, they said they need to be more informed about what’s happening in their community.

“The thing is why is it taking so long for you as a board member to tell us, parents, what’s going on. This is our children’s school. This is where they belong,” Rodriguez said.

School district plans to reconfigure schools, holds meeting to address concerns

MARION COUNTY, SC (WMBF) - The Marion County School District held one of two forums on the district’s plans to reconfigure schools.

Parents and students packed the Creek Bridge High School cafeteria Tuesday night to learn more the district’s plans to merge the school with Mullins High School starting in the 2019-2020 school year.

They also plan close Brittons Neck Elementary permanently and move those students, along with other lower grade levels, to the Creek Bridge building.

Both Creek Bridge High School and Brittons Neck Elementary remained close while the rest of the district reopened at the end of September after Hurricane Florence.

On Oct. 3, students from Creek Bridge returned to class while Brittons Neck Elementary students were split between Easterling Primary School and Marion Intermediate School because of the current building’s damage from Hurricane Florence.

However, Kandace Bethea, the district’s superintendent, said that is not the main reason for the reconfiguration and that the district has considered rearranging schools before the storm.

She listed a decline in enrollment, saving costs, underutilized buildings and opportunity gaps as the reasons for the reconfiguration.

The superintendent said the population in the county has declined 5 percent and high school enrollment is down 2 percent each year.

Creek Bridge only has 144 students compared to Marion High School’s 682 and 401 students at Mullins High School.

In a letter sent to parents, a task force of school district staff, teachers, parents and other has been formed to examine the merge of the two high schools, along with the replacement of Brittons Neck Elementary students.

Bethea admitted the plan was a tough decision, but said sometimes tough decisions have to made for the betterment of the students.

“Our enrollment is dropping, our base student cost, we’re not getting the funds that wound normally come in because of those declining enrollment numbers and so some decisions are driven by the numbers the courses and the staffing," Bethea said during the meeting.

Parents' concerns ranged from transportation and merging athletic teams to rising seniors wanting to know if they’ll be able to graduate as a Creek Bridge Warrior.

One mother, Latorious Owens, whose children attend Brittons Neck Elementary said she’s against the plans for both schools. Owens claims since the elementary school has been closed there’s been a lack of communication from school district officials.

"It’s stressful. We pass the school house every morning and for my kids to say ‘oh mommy I wish my school was open’… that hurts my heart. My kids want to be a Brittons Neck Elementary, my kids don’t want to go to Marion. It’s not right to them and they shouldn’t be forced to,” Owens said.

The plans will go before the school board for approval at their meeting next Tuesday.

Hundreds still without flood insurance in Marion County following recent hurricanes

MARION COUNTY, S.C. (WPDE) — About 1,300 homes are in flood zones in Marion County, but only 400 of them have flood insurance, according to Marion County Code Inspector Jimmy Brown.

Brown said the Gresham and Brittons Neck communities of Marion County were hit hard by Hurricane Matthew in 2016 and Hurricane Florence in 2018.

However, he added some people impacted by the storm still don't have flood insurance, because they can't afford it.

"Majority is because of the cost. If you’re in a flood zone and if your home is actually below the base flood level, plus the two-foot freeboard, then that rate, that premium is going to be pretty high. As you raise that home and get it out of the flood area, above that two-foot freeboard, the insurance actually becomes cheaper. There is a cost factor there," said Brown.

Marion County's flood prevention ordinance was created and established in 2011.

Brown said they have to enforce the ordinance in order for the county to become eligible for federal disaster aid in years to come.

“If we follow that ordinance to the letter, then we are more prone to be eligible for more funding through FEMA. But when we back off from the ordinance requirements, and maybe stop enforcing the raising of homes, enforcing the substantial damage clause in there, then we can lose funding. Then not only can insurance go up for the residents, we can actually lose that ability to have that insurance in the county.”

Brown said they're not trying to be difficult with residents, but just want to make sure they're prepared for the next big storm.

Sellers Mayor Barbara Hopkins echoes Brown's sentiments. Her community was hit hard by Hurricanes Matthew and Florence.

Hopkins lost her home to Hurricane Matthew, along with others in the community. She added Matthew taught her a valuable lesson, to get flood insurance, and she encourages those still left in the small town of Sellers to do the same.

“I never thought a flood would come in a million years. And it’s something that happened that impacted my life, because I lost my home. My mother, all of them lost their homes. Hopefully by me getting rebuilt at the flood zone area, that everybody can get that house elevated or do something to make sure that they can get flood insurance. If you don’t have it, you’re in bad shape," said Hopkins.

The flood prevention ordinance requires neighbors to raise their homes above flood stage.

County officials sent letters to residents earlier this year explaining why they'll have to raise their homes to be compliant with the ordinance.

Some homeowners told us they can't afford to raise their houses. Others said the cost to raise it is worth more than the home itself.

Brown said if they're covered by flood insurance, it could help pay for coverage to elevate the homes.

In the meantime, Marion County has applied for a hazard mitigation grant to help those who live in flood zones pay for the cost of raising their houses.

“We didn’t have a large number that applied this time. Hopefully, they’ll be more funding available later on and we’ll have more people interested in applying. But, we’re positive about it," said Brown.

We'll continue to keep you covered on if Marion County is awarded the hazard mitigation grant.
