How Eight Beauty Experts Use This Cult Product
CREATED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH ELIZABETH ARDEN
Launched in the 1930s, it’s still flying off shelves – with one tube selling every 30 seconds worldwide. And for good reason. Quite possibly the definition of a cult product, this beauty editor favourite is a true multi-tasking hero – from taming brows to soothing skin, here are eight ways the experts love to use it.
1. Francesca White, Tatler Health & Beauty Director
“I always take a tube of Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream on the plane with me – it brings cuticles back from the brink and makes a fantastic lip balm and gloss in one.”
2. Amanda Harrington, make-up artist & Founder of InParlour
“This multipurpose cream is a mainstay in my kit. I often mix it in with a cheek or lip tint to make a coloured long-stay balm for the lips.”
3. Emma Welsh, manicurist
“I always tell my clients to apply this cult cream to their cuticles before bed – take the time to work it into the skin and the heat will help heal sore, dry hands too.”
4. Charlotte Cave, Founder of Charlotte Cave Salons
“A true fashion accessory and first aid in a tube, 8 Hour Cream is never far from my side. Packed with vitamin E, it will soothe rough skin and help the healing process as well as lending a natural glow to skin and limbs alike.”
5. Polly Osmond, make-up artist
“Eight Hour Cream is probably the only product I use on every single job. I mostly use it to get shine on a cheek or eyelid but also use it on myself as an eye gloss – this gives an instant lift without using eyeshadow.”
6. Tor Cardona, SL Health & Beauty Editor
“As a running junkie, Eight Hour Cream has my back – whether it’s on blisters, dry patches or chapped lips, you’ll always find it in my gym bag.”
7. Charlotte Cowen, make-up artist
“For speedy, on-the-go grooming, use instead of your brow gel to tame unruly hairs and set your look or swap for a hair serum to control frizz and fly-aways.”
8. Liz Pugh, make-up artist
“Eight Hour Cream has been a make-up kit essential for me for years. My top tip is to warm a little between your fingers and press along the top of the cheekbones to give instant radiance and health to the skin.”
