Isla Fisher doesn’t sugarcoat her mornings. “No matter how optimistic I am about getting up early, blowing out my hair and all the rest of the shenanigans—none of it actually happens,” she laughs. “I have wet hair and IT Cosmetics foundation on. And that’s my polished look.”
It’s a relatable confession from the Australian actress, producer and author—who, as it turns out, has quietly built one of the most streamlined skin-care routines in Hollywood.
As IT Cosmetics’ newest partner, the Wedding Crashers star brings something refreshingly authentic to the role: She was already a devoted fan. “I was given it, and it just did so many things,” she says of the brand’s hero product, the CC+ Cream Foundation. For Fisher, the formula checks every box, delivering SPF protection (a non-negotiable for her, especially as a redhead), color correction, coverage, hydration, priming benefits and anti-aging support. “It just seemed so in my wheelhouse.”
Equally central to her routine is the brand’s Confidence in a Cream moisturizer. As Fisher has gotten older, she says hydration has become key. “One thing about my skin now…I feel like I need a lot more moisture,” she says. “When it’s dewy and glowy, I feel really confident.” The cream delivers exactly that: a rich, skin-plumping base that Fisher credits as a cornerstone of her daily look.
Beyond the formulas, Fisher is drawn to IT Cosmetics’ ethos. The brand was built on the belief that women deserve high-performing skin care and makeup at a price point that feels accessible. “I love the fact that it’s inclusive,” she says. “Luxury beauty doesn’t have to be at some high price point. It should be something that we all get the chance to maintain.” Now, both of her go-to products are even more accessible: the CC+ Cream Foundation has dropped to $39 (down $8), and Confidence in a Cream is now $49 (down $10)—the same trusted formulas at a greater value.
Her makeup approach has evolved in step with her skin-care priorities. “I do think eyeshadow sits differently now,” she says. “I’m really just into a foundation, an eyelash primer, a mascara and a bit of a cheek tint. That’s it.” It’s the kind of edit that looks effortless because it is—a routine that works with skin rather than over it.
That clarity extends far beyond her vanity. Fisher recently turned 50, and the milestone—one she’d quietly dreaded since reading her mom’s copy of Erica Jong’s Fear of Flying as a 12-year-old—arrived with a surprising sense of liberation. “The minute it [turning 50] happened, I loved it,” she says. “I’m so proud to be my age. I’m so much more confident. I don’t want to compare myself to a younger version of myself. I’m just so happy with where I am.”
For Fisher, the shift isn’t about defying age, but redefining what visibility means for women.
“Historically, women have been compared to younger versions of themselves,” she reflects. “But I feel like that’s actually changing—we get to question the rules now! It’s not that women get less visible when we get older…we’re just less willing to perform in the same way. I don’t totally know how to explain it, but I’m really into it. I think aging shifts the way you think about yourself…something less external and something more internal. And that’s a more sustainable place to be.”
