Vanna is launching a makeup line called Laura Geller Beauty x Wheel of Fortune, according to People.

The line is available via laurageller.com.

According to the outlet, the line has a “playful, exuberant vibe inspired by her longtime gig.”

The 66-year-old has been working on the line, which features six products, with Laura for about one year.

The limited edition line features Spackle Skin Perfecting Primer, Face the Wheel Blush Palette, Prizewinning Eyes Shadow Palette, Modern Classic Cream Lipstick in Big Money Red, Kajal Longwear Liner in Glitz and Glam, and a Dual-Ended Blush, and Bronzer Precision Brush, ranging from $21 to $49.

The products are meant to destigmatize aging and come in “Wheel-themed packaging in striking color combinations.”

Laura’s makeup brand is “known for celebrating and making products for mature skin.”

Vanna still wants fans to see the real her on TV while wearing makeup.

‘BE NATURAL’

Vanna talked to People via Zoom to express the importance of looking natural while wearing makeup.

“I think wrinkles are beautiful,” she told the outlet.

“Someone who is completely with no lines, they don’t have any character. Be natural, be yourself and have personality.”

The Wheel of Fortune hostess continued: “I don’t look like this without all this makeup.

“But you know what? I am older and I accept my lines and wrinkles.

“Will I ever have plastic surgery? Maybe.

“But I’m kind of scared to do that. I’m not trying to look 30 years old again because I’m not.”

Vanna shared that Laura brought the line to her before launching it to see if it would fit with her skin tone and if she approved.

She shared that she loved it and said that the color was for everyone.

“I’m still learning, of course, because this is a new venture. Hopefully, this is the start of something big,” Vanna ended.

VANNA’S BEAUTY ROUTINE

Vanna believes that as one ages, it is even more important to take care of their skin.

She shared her skin routine with People.

Vanna washes her skin daily, and applies moisturizer with sunscreen on her face and hands.

Then, for makeup, the hostess uses a light foundation, eyeliner, and lipstick.

Vanna finishes off her look by curling her eyelashes.

But, she shared that she doesn’t wear much makeup at home.

I VANNA RAISE!

The salaries between Vanna and Pat Sajak were revealed and Vanna makes significantly less than the host.

In June, TMZ confirmed Vanna makes about $3million a year, and has been making that for the past 18 years.

According to the outlet, Pat makes $15 million, which is five times more than his co-host.

While negotiations between Vanna and Sony have become very difficult, an insider close to the situation told TMZ: “After 41 years as a model employee and more the face of that show than him [Pat], asking for 50 percent of what he makes seems like a no-brainer.”

Another source claimed she “feels like it’s a statement for all women” and is reportedly negotiating for “a minimum of what is fair.”

So now, Vanna will get more income from her beauty line.
