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.
