When Meg Stalter is creating a character, makeup is a huge part of the process. “If I’m doing my own video and dressing my own character, I imagine how would they get ready and then I get ready like they would,” says the comedian and actor, who you may recognize from her (side-splittingly hilarious) role on Hacks. “I choose wilder choices when I’m doing a character because I like to play someone that’s a little unhinged. ” While she loves piling on fun colors and bold eyeliner, she knows that skin care is the most important part of her beauty routine. So on her makeup-free days, she’s slathering on a caffeinated Neutrogena eye gel cream all day long.
“I’m really in love with the Hydro Boost+ Caffeine Eye Gel,” says Stalter. ” It’s a little pick-me-up and I use it about eight times a day. I hope that’s not bad that I’m using it that much—I think the only bad thing is that it will run out fast but then I can buy more.”
