WHAT’S HER SECRET?
These ladies seem to be growing younger every year! Closer asked top pros why
Lynda Carter
This Duo Erases Eye Wrinkles
Under-eye creases left Wonder Woman looking spent in 2015. The reason for this aging woe? “The skin around the eyes is 40 percent thinner than the skin on the rest of the face, so it’s more prone to wrinkle-causing damage,” says dermatologist Dendy Engelman, M.D., who has treated Sofía
Vergara and Christina Ricci. Her superhero solution to sensational skin like Lynda has now? An eye cream made with vitamin A and hyaluronic acid (we like Roc
Retinol Correxion Sensitive Eye Cream, $23, ulta.com). “Vitamin A increases cell turnover and builds collagen to firm creases while hyaluronic acid locks in moisture to plump up skin.” Simply tap a pea-sized amount of cream under the eyes nightly for results in one month.
Michelle Yeoh
Babylights Add Va-Va-Volume
All it took for the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon star to look younger at 54 than she did at 53 was some strategically placed babylights. “Dark tresses lack depth, which can make fine hair look flat, thin and dull,” says New York City colorist Mike Petrizzi, who has worked with Joan Jett and Mandy Moore. “But these delicate highlights mimic the subtle and natural sun-kissed color seen on a child’s tresses to optically volumize locks.” To do: Use a clean mascara wand (it helps with precise placement) and the color from a highlighting kit (we like Revlon Color Effects Frost & Glow in Honey, $12, walgreens.com) to paint 1-inch streaks around the head, concentrating color on face-framing pieces. Let sit for 30 minutes; rinse.
Hope Davis
Raspberry Lips Boost Radiance
While layering on too much makeup can backfire by making the face look older, stepping out bare-faced, like the About Schmidt actress did four years ago, has downsides, too. “The lack of contrast between Hope’s light locks and fair skin left her looking washed-out,” says makeup artist Amy Zdunowski-Roeder, who’s worked with Kristen Wiig and Malin Akerman. The good news: “Restoring skin’s vibrance doesn’t require a full face of makeup.” For a youthful flush like Hope has now, reach for a sheer balm in a raspberry hue (we like Glossier Generation G in Crush, $18, glossier.com). “The soft-pink tones impart a youthful, rosy glow to any skin tone while the sheer formula allows for buildable color so you can customize the depth of color that works best for your complexion.”
