One of the most frequently asked questions a beauty editor gets is: "Should I use eye cream?"
Cue the follow-up: "Which one should I use?"
While
the stars have their favorites, on award season red carpets they defer
to their makeup artists—who, in full transparency, typically have a deal
with a beauty brand to use its product. The upside for us is that we
get to know and see how the exact product wears, under intense lighting
and tons of makeup, on a variety of skin tones, types and ages.
For instance, it might be interesting to know that Chrissy Teigen gets prepped with red carpet staple La Mer, while Uzo Aduba
used a luxury Japanese brand, which is also used in many beauty looks
in major motion pictures. Or that although most eye treatments on the
red carpet ring in at a hefty price, Alison Brie's makeup artist used an $18 drugstore find to soothe the sensitive skin around the eyes.
You
don't have to use to the same ones as the celebs to combat dark circles
or de-puff tired eyes...but it sure helps to know their secrets.
Whether it's a serum, cream or patch, here the celeb-approved eye
treatments used during award season.

"I wanted to play off the iridescent sheen of her dress
that reminds me of beautiful, sleek serpent by focusing on the shine on
eyes and reflect that serpent-like quality with fierce eyeliner and
luminous skin," said Lancome makeup artist
Nick Barose after the SAG Awards.

Chrissy Teigen
"First we prepped the skin with Creme de la Mer. Of
course, I warm up the products with my hands first and then press it
gently. I love using this on Chrissy because it just helps add to her
already natural glow, especially while she's pregnant. Then I pat La
Mer's The Lifting Eye Serum in with my ring finger under the eyes,"
explained makeup artist
Mary Phillips.
Greta Gerwig
Makeup artist
Jenn Streicher prepped
the Lady Bird director's skin with serum, then eye cream and followed
up with cream around the face for a boost of moisture.
Margot Robbie
"Skin is always where a lot of care and attention is paid," says makeup artist
Pati Dubroff, who first used
Sisley Black Rose Cream Fase Mask to prep Margot for the 2018 Golden Globes, then an eye cream.
