The number one request from clients is to look fresher and ahem, younger. The eyes are the place to start with this. Now it helps if everyone drinks lots of water and gets to bed early but it’s not always possible!

We’re a big fan of creams to help moisten that delicate eye area and soften any shadows. Granny-lore tells us that cold tea-bags and cucumbers work wonders but you can’t really whip out your tea-bag on a film set. So try these creams instead. Just remember to dab them on very gently, don’t poke anyone in the eye and use a tiny bead of cream. Too much and any eye shadow won’t set right afterwards.

Anyone who’s walked past Clearys on O Connell Street will have seen the new Garnier Nutritionist Caffeine Eye-Roll in the windows. Caffeine is known to help break down cellulite and this glides on to the bags for a similar effect.

If you’re willing to spend a little more, the Aveda Tourmaline Charged Eye Crème is turbo-charged with silica to deflect any shadowing and sits perfectly under the heaviest makeup. Perfect for use with models or actors.

And let’s not forget the men; Lab Series for Men have a great Instant Moisture Eye Gel which de-puff bags without leaving a tell-tale shine.

Which eye creams do you use?
