For us, red carpet season isn’t just about the dresses — it’s also about the memorable beauty looks the stars bring to the red carpet, and that includes a winning glow.
Of course A-listers have access to the very best — from tools and treatments to glam teams — that aid in them looking great. But that doesn’t mean the rest of us can’t shine.
The latest creams, masks, serums and body butters deliver immediate benefits while working over time to improve the look, feel and overall skin health with continued use. They include an addition to e.l.f. SKIN’s Holy Hydration! line, a treatment from Beverly Hills plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Catherine Chang and a luscious body cream in the trendiest scent of the season.

Brightening Face Serum

When it comes to skin-quenching finds, e.l.f. Skin’s Holy Hydration! collection is among the most popular out there. The latest addition, a gel serum, pulls double duty with immediate and long-term brightening ingredients that mimic a red carpet glow. That’s why Cynthia Erivo’s makeup artist Joanna Simkin used it to kick off the star’s Grammys skin prep. To get a more luminous look, once makeup is complete, “press a few drops onto high points of the face,” the pro says.

Smoothing Eye Serum

Like many others, Jennie Garth has “dabbled” with retinol products over the years, only for the powerful ingredient (which accelerates cell turnover to smooth lines, improve skin tone and more) to leave her skin dry and red. But the Perricone MD brand ambassador calls this new retinol eye serum “amazing” because it’s gentle enough for daily use but effective enough to produce results.

Does It All Moisturizer
In 2023 Olay introduced its Super Serum, a multitasking formula with a scent and texture so luxurious we gave it a beauty award. Now the brand is taking that innovation a step further with this cream featuring skin-care MVPs niacinamide, vitamins C and E, hyaluronic acid, collagen peptide plus SPF 30, so you can get brighter, hydrated, firmer, smoother and protected skin from one product.

When Beverly Hills plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Catherine Chang introduced her brand, its gold-infused eye masks instantly became a celebrity makeup artist must-have. Just in time for your spring glow-up, she’s created a cooling hydrogel face mask that gives skin a noticeable lift in 20 minutes.
