Oh, eye creams. Getting that just-right one can be tricky. And it doesn’t get any easier as we age. “Choosing the right eye cream for clients aged 60 and above involves considering their specific skin-care concerns, such as fine lines, wrinkles, dryness and loss of firmness,” says celebrity makeup artist Lisa Aharon. “I also look for eye creams that have a lightweight texture and absorb quickly into the skin without leaving a greasy or heavy residue. This ensures that makeup applied over the eye cream will not settle into fine lines or look dry, allowing for smoother and more seamless makeup application.” Here are 13 makeup artist–approved ones that fit the bill.
