Even gladiators need to prioritize skincare. Paul Mescal, Irish actor and star of the upcoming Gladiators II film, has been showing off his style on the premiere red carpet in preparation for the November 22, 2024 release date. Amid his classic black tie suits, shiny loafers, and Cartier watches, Mescal’s packed schedule is bound to make anyone — even an award-winning actor — a bit tired. And what better way to look fresh and camera-ready than popping on a hydrating eye mask?
Celebrity hairstylist and groomer Josh Knight posted a ‘get ready with me’ clip of Mescal before his movie premiere, using an under-eye pick-me-up for dark circles.
The Normal People star was videoed wearing 111Skin’s Cryo De-Puffing Eye Mask, which is currently available at Nordstrom. The 8-count box set, priced at $110, is advertised to immediately revitalize dark, fatigued, and puffy undereyes. If you’d like to try out the eye mask but don’t want to commit to a high price point, you can opt for the one-mask sizing on 111Skin’s website for just $16.
Often used on celebrity clients like Bella Hadid, these hydrogel masks provide moisture around the eye and a cryo boost if you store them in the fridge before placing them on. They contain seaweed extract to reduce puffiness, vitamin E to help support cell function, and peptide complex to remove dark circles. All you have to do is press the mask under each eye in line with the contours of your face and leave them on for 20 minutes. If you’re really trying to look as awake as possible, you can use the eye mask every morning and evening after cleansing your face.
Should you be looking for a more affordable alternative to Mescal’s $110 eye masks, a similar version is available on Amazon for as low as $15. The Patchology Iced Cooling Under Eye Mask Patches come in a 5-count and offer a cooling and firming method that leaves your under eyes bright and non-puffy. Some would say you’ll even look red carpet ready, just in time to head to the movies and watch gladiators battling it out on the big screen (hi, Pedro Pascal).
