Patrick Dempsey has 3 children with his wife Jillian Fink &mdash; here's what you need to know about People's Sexiest Man Alive and his family

Everyone will live out of a local hotel, and games will take place at Herb Brooks Arena, where the US men's hockey team completed its "Miracle on Ice" victory over the Soviet Union in the 1980 winter Olympics.Each team will play five games from January 23 to January 30, at which point the league will seed teams based on their records for a three-day regular-season Round Robin. After that, the top four seeds will advance to the playoffs. The <a href="https://www.nwhl.zone/news/regular-season-and-isobel-cup-playoffs-schedules">full season schedule</a> is available on the NWHL's official website.And, for the first time ever, the NWHL playoffs will air on national television, with <a href="https://nhl.nbcsports.com/2020/12/22/nwhls-2021-isobel-cup-semifinals-and-final-will-air-on-nbcsn-feb-4-5/">NBC Sports Network picking up</a> both of the league's semifinals games and the Friday, February 5 final.Insider spoke with Boston Pride captain Jillian Dempsey - a former Harvard star - about all things NWHL ahead of the unique 2020-2021 season. Check out what last year's MVP and top scorer had to say below.This interview has been slightly edited for clarity.<div type="image" title="jillian dempsey" height="1760" width="2000" msid="80425704" hostid="261"></div>How much of a relief is it to just get back on the ice in an official capacity, given all of this turbulence over the past several months?We're just thrilled. You put in countless hours outside of your actual competition with practice and the work that you put in individually to contribute to your team, and when you finally get to compete, that's what it's all for, and that's the best. Gameday is everything. And to have gone almost 10 months - or actually, it'll be over 10 months when we finally play a game - but to have gone that long, that's the longest streak in my entire life, my entire hockey career. We tried to mimic some of that intensity and some of that compete-level in practices with inter squads, scrimmages, and kind of battling against each other, but there's nothing like playing an actual game and being with your team battling against another. Right now, there's some nerves and obviously walking on eggshells a little bit with the bubble so close. We don't want to make it there and have any kind of scares with all the craziness of COVID. It's just like, we're days away from leaving. We just can't wait to put on our jerseys, which are brand new jerseys for this season, and they're really sharp. So all the more, we're like thrilled to throw those on, get out there and battle, and have that opportunity at the cup that we didn't get in March.<div type="image" title="nwhl" height="1821" width="2428" msid="80425706" hostid="261"></div>Can you give an elevator pitch for the upcoming season for fans who are new to the NWHL?There are the original four teams. You have Boston Buffalo, the Metropolitan Riveters who were initially New York and Connecticut, and then two seasons ago, Minnesota joined the fold. And that was a big deal - you got the state of hockey coming in, and they've had a program there for so many years, but for them to become part of that was really expanding the NWHL and bringing it up to that whole new market and obviously a market that's obsessed with hockey. So that was important to get that growth. And then this offseason, private ownership brought in Toronto Six.I would say, as somebody who's been in the league since the inaugural and especially with it being so small, I always feel that my team's biggest rival is whoever we have that day for the game. That's how it feels. You play those same teams so many different times that it gets the blood boiling. It's always a dog fight. And if you beat them four times, they might be due for a win. They're going to keep it close that next time. And it's just a really competitive league.From an outsider perspective, I would think that people would argue that our biggest rival is Minnesota, that you have the Boston-Minnesota rivalry. And last year, that was what the championship game was going to be. This year, I think there's already a Toronto-Boston rivalry, even though we never faced off on the ice together. But I think that obviously stems from the natural rivalry that already exists there between the Maple Leafs and the Bruins.I would say that the beauty of the league is that on any given day, any team can win. If you're showing up, you're going to compete, and you have a chance at winning. That shows the importance of just showing up every single game day. You don't get to take a game off, you don't get to have a night off, you have to show up, and you have to perform and compete and be at your best in order to pull out the win each game.That's not really an elevator pitch because I went on and on, but I think most people, once they watch it, they want to stay involved, and they want to see another game. And they're usually like, "Oh, wow. I didn't know it was like that." Or "I didn't realize how competitive it is." Once we get people viewing it, they usually become consistent fans.What does having the playoffs broadcast on national television mean for the growth of this league and the sport on the women's side?It's absolutely incredible. When they announced it, I was blown away by that because we never really had that opportunity to be on a prime time channel. And one of the things when discussing women's hockey and how to help grow it and how to improve its reach, so much of it is tied to that visibility. Some people will say, "Oh, I didn't even know there was pro women's hockey." Oftentimes that's the response that we get. But then once they watch a game, they're usually into it and impressed by it and interested to watch more and to learn more. So I think expanding that reach of who's able to watch is really gonna help our league grow and get more interest with partnerships and sponsorships. Kids can turn on the television and see it. It's not like you have to search on a computer and then hook it up. It's like, it's going to be on a real channel like a football game. So I think that's just an incredible step for us, and as players, we're thrilled for the opportunity to play on that stage and be part of growing women's hockey.<div type="image" title="nwhl" height="1665" width="2220" msid="80425707" hostid="261"></div>I've heard that you're a fan of OOFOS, and now the shoe brand is sponsoring the NWHL. Can you fill me in on how they help you personally with your recovery and staying comfortable off the ice?Prior to COVID, I was at my trainer Mike Boyle's strength and conditioning gym regularly multiple times a week, and they had OOFOS flip flops. I would see the trainers wearing them. And one time, I just inquired. I asked, "Oh, you know what, explain to me. And, you know, I might want to grab a pair." And so he hooked me up with a pair.You put your foot, and you're walking on a cloud. That's really how it feels, and I actually was tripping over myself a little bit here and there at the beginning because they were so comfortable. I was getting used to the shoes being that comfortable. I have no shame where my socks with sandals, but I don't know if that's a hockey player thing because you're in the rink. I don't know. It's probably a fashion no-no, but going to the gym or back from the gym, you just slip on your OOFOS, and they're extremely comfortable, but on top of the comfort level, they actually do help your stability. And the way the cushion is designed is to help absorb the impact. So you really feel it when you're walking. It's the perfect shoe for me to wear to and from the gym. It was funny because over Christmas, we got my mom a pair, and she was just thrilled. She absolutely loved them as well, and she's not an athlete or anything. Once you wear them, it's tough to go back to some other flip flop because they just don't feel as comfortable. What do you know about OOFOS' partnership with the league?When I saw the email that OOFOS was going to sponsor the league, I was through the roof because I'm like, "Oh my gosh, this is amazing. This is a product I actually already used and loved." And so, for me, it's not adjusting to something new and using it a little and then promoting it. It's like, this is already a product that I use regularly and love. So I was just thrilled to hear about the league partnering with OOFOS, and I don't know the exact details of it, but I do know that we will be getting to rock some OOFOS flip flops when we're in the bubble, and it'll be our pre and post-game choice of footwear. So that's going to be exciting.Everybody who bought a pair was thrilled or wearing them to the rink already and comparing colors. It's an excellent choice of a partnership. It's even better when you have a great product like that, and the people who are promoting it and the ones that you're connecting with are great people. That makes it that much more awesome to have and to be with that company.Do you feel added motivation because last season ended so abruptly for your team?The only thing that prevented last year from being arguably the perfect season was not winning the Cup. Obviously, the game didn't happen, but the end result of not having the cup was the same. We didn't have the Cup. That's what we set out to do, we didn't win it, and that disappointment and frustration carries over. Each offseason, I feel like you're either motivated to go out and like redeem yourself from having lost, like ending your season in a loss since there's only one team that gets to end in a win, and if you're the champion, then you have to defend that title. And if you're not the champion, then you're motivated to fight and get that championship. Before the season so abruptly ended, we were feeling really great about having the opportunity to play in that game. We felt like we were peaking at the right time, and we were fired up, good to go, and feeling really positive for that final game. So to not have that opportunity, it's like all of it's boiled up.<div type="image" title="herb brooks arena" height="2808" width="3755" msid="80425708" hostid="261"></div>How are you feeling heading into the bubble?This year it's like we're hungrier than ever because we didn't get it. It's almost like it doubled up on us there. Last year was a blast because we were doing so well together, and everything was looking in the right direction. Anytime we did have a little bit of adversity, we were able to bounce back and have that resiliency. Heading into the bubble and that unique situation, we know that we're just going to be completely focused. We have two weeks in there to grind through be the last team standing. We know it's going to be a battle, and we've been preparing for that.Everybody is very focused and fired up and just chomping at the bit to have that opportunity to play with a chip on the shoulder. We have that unfinished business, and you just always want to go out there and prove people wrong. People might argue we're a favorite, but that's not the mentality. We're playing as the hunter, you know? Eyes on the ultimate goal of hoisting that Isobel Cup again.

The 2021 NWHL season starts this weekend - Here's what you need to know, as told by the league's reigning MVP

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Patrick Dempsey was one of 14 people named a Disney Legend at the company's fan convention, D23 Expo.</li><li>Dempsey surprised the crowd, debuting platinum blonde hair to accept the award.</li></ul>Patrick Dempsey surprised fans at Disney's D23 Expo when he took the Hall D23 stage Friday morning with a new 'do. The "Grey's Anatomy" and "Disenchanted" star showed off bright platinum blonde hair to accept his title as a new Disney Legend, a status given to individuals who have made a significant contribution to the company's legacy. <div type="image" title="Patrick Dempsey white/platinum blonde hair D23" height="3592" width="5392" msid="94113663" hostid="261" sizebytes="1790022"></div>As a reminder, this is how Dempsey, who played Dr. Derek Shepherd on "Grey's," usually looks:<div type="image" title="Patrick Dempsey on May 28, 2022" height="2505" width="3333" msid="94113664" hostid="261" sizebytes="228662"></div>As Dempsey accepted his award, people online were distracted by the actor's new mysterious hair, which appeared white from afar.Some people were digging the look. Others? Not so much.Dempsey didn't care though, <a href="https://twitter.com/variety/status/1568316554940682240?s=21&amp;t=0rGt0hDpmp3wTArqYppKlg">telling Variety's Marc Malkin</a>, "I love it. It's great. It's fun to do something different. Unfortunately, or fortunately, I'm known for my hair so this has really jacked up a lot of people who don't know how to embrace it. Either they love it or they hate it."Dempsey said he has to keep his hair blonde for two more months while he's filming Michael Mann's "Ferrari" movie in Italy. <div type="image" title="Disenchanted cast" height="2137" width="3000" msid="94113665" hostid="261" sizebytes="255976"></div>"I like it," Dempsey added, insisting that others should change up their looks. "Dye your hair. Have fun. Blondes have more fun. I have to tell you, it's true."Patrick Dempsey was one of 14 honorees on Friday to be inducted as a Disney Legend. Over the past 35 years, a total of a total of 304 Disney Legends have been named. Previous honorees include Tim Allen, Robert Downey Jr., Barbara Walters, George Lucas, and Susan Lucci.During Dempsey's heartfelt speech, the 56-year-old actor got a bit choked up as he reflected back on his career."It's remarkable to be standing here. It's very moving," Dempsey said. "I look at how many films and projects I've done with Disney. It's been a profound experience. I'm so grateful to be a part of that.""And with the success of 'Grey's Anatomy' worldwide, it gives you an incredible platform. And, I think, that in itself is special, but fame is not everything. It's sometimes very empty," Dempsey continued, adding, "The most important thing is to be of service, to give back."Dempsey told the crowd how he's given back to his hometown of Lewiston, Maine after his mother lost a battle with ovarian cancer. "Because of Derek Shepherd, I was able to open up a center called the <a href="https://www.dempseycenter.org/">Dempsey Center for cancer, hope, and healing.</a>" Dempsey said of his no-cost support center which offers counseling, therapies, support groups, and more."Our mission is to spread the word because I truly belieeve that as soon as someone is diagnosed with cancer they should have these types of services immediately to complement traditional medicine," Dempsey continued to applause and cheers from the D23 crowd. Dempsey added: "I got some great advice before I left Maine: 'Never forget where you came from.' And, I think that's an important thing."You can watch Dempsey's speech below in full.

The 54-year-old "Grey's Anatomy" actor, who's been isolating with his wife, Jillian Dempsey, and their three children, said the pandemic has been particularly difficult for his kids. "The isolation for them and the lack of socialization is really challenging, especially senior year. My poor daughter missed everything," he said on Tuesday's episode of "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ITSrC0jY2k&amp;feature=youtu.beu.be">Jimmy Kimmel Live</a>." "And that's the only reason you go back, senior year is proms."Patrick recalled senior year as a "victory lap" to "celebrate your education," pointing out that Talula had "none of it" since in-person classes turned virtual early in the pandemic.To try and make up for the loss of senior year milestones, the actor said the family put together a "mock prom" for their daughter at home."We did a mock prom at the house," he told Jimmy Kimmel, joking that he "hadn't reached puberty yet" at his own prom. Patrick said that it was "so sad" to watch his daughter get "all dressed up" for a Zoom call with friends. "You're like, 'Oh my God, my heart breaks for you. You don't have that moment,'" he added.Patrick wasn't the only one with the idea to put on a faux prom after in-person events were called off. Other high schoolers <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/high-schoolers-throwing-prom-on-zoom-coronavirus-2020-4">created their own proms via Zoom</a> during the pandemic, allowing them to at least get dressed up and see their friends' faces. Many even made up for canceled proms by <a href="https://www.insider.com/teenagers-having-photo-shoots-parties-prom-canceled-2020-3">having photo shoots in the outfits</a> they would've worn to the event and sharing the pictures on social media. Prom wasn't the only thing Talula missed out on. Like many seniors, the actor's daughter also celebrated her high school graduation in May from home. "Congratulations on your graduation @taluladempsey I love you and I am so proud of you. I can't believe you're all grown up," the actor <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CAy6z9VBQTA/">wrote on Instagram</a>, sharing a photo of Talula in her graduation outfit. His wife Jillian also <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CAykhL6AyPR/">posted the same photo</a> and wrote: "My 'fav' baby girl graduated high school virtually today. Proud mom, congratulations."During an interview with <a href="https://www.newscentermaine.com/article/news/health/coronavirus/how-patrick-dempsey-and-family-are-handling-covid-19-pandemic/97-66051d1c-f718-4179-b09b-83857befa55f">News Center Maine</a> in June, the actor explained that he and Jillian began homeschooling their sons, 13-year-old twins Darby and Sullivan, before the pandemic, so they were "up to speed" when it came to remote learning.However, Dempsey said his "heart goes out" to the students graduating from high school in 2020, including Talula."They missed the proms. They missed all of the fun things in your senior year. So we've been doing that, sort of remotely. It's been a surreal experience, really, to do that," Patrick said. And while he joked that his family, like so many others, also get tired of doing the dishes and other chores, it's been "nice" to be together during the pandemic. "We're having more time together than we did before," he noted.

The dynamic usually follows a familiar arc. First, the normie is dazzled by the celebrity and their fame. Then, outside forces like the paparazzi or fans threaten to derail the relationship. But by the end, love prevails: The normie accepts the celebrity's lifestyle, and the couple overcomes their fame-related hurdles because rom-coms need happy endings."The Idea of You," now streaming on Prime Video, is the latest film in this sub-genre of rom-coms. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/the-idea-of-you-movie-ending-book-differences-explained-2024-5">Based on the novel of the same name</a>, the film focuses on 40-year-old divorcée Solène (<a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/anne-hathaway-kissed-10-guys-gross-chemistry-auditions-2024-4">Anne Hathaway</a>) who falls into an unexpected romance with 24-year-old Hayes Campbell (Nicholas Galitzine), the lead singer of a boyband called August Moon, after they meet at<a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/coachella-festival-fashion-through-the-years-photos-2022-4"> Coachella</a>.

Stardom has its perks, but the downsides — like unforgiving public scrutiny and a possessive, rabid fan base — can be major roadblocks for a couple. What happens when fame becomes the invisible third person in the relationship?Business Insider spoke to a celebrity PR expert and a therapist to ultra-high-net-worth individuals to explore how realistic these dynamics are outside the glamorous, seemingly enviable way they're portrayed in rom-coms — and what it takes for these relationships to go the distance.<h2>The glaring wealth and power imbalance is a major hurdle</h2><div type="image" title="the idea of you movie still" height="2000" width="3000" msid="109838788" hostid="261" sizebytes="501364"></div>The idea of dating someone who's the subject of magazine spreads and has money to burn may sound exciting for a civilian, but with more fame and money comes more problems."It's an unusual life, and I say all the time, money, wealth, and fame can be toxic. It can be dangerous," said<a target="_blank" href="https://www.walkandtalk.com/"> Clay Cockrell</a>, a psychotherapist who's been working with ultra-high-net-worth individuals for about 15 years. "There's not a lot of templates out there on how to do it well. And it's a lot to navigate. There's issues of isolation, issues of jealousy, of shame. Money and fame can be addictive."For the celebrity, dating a regular person may also come with concerns that an outsider is getting close to them to benefit from their high status.While wealth might be part of what makes a famous person attractive to someone — Cockrell acknowledged that "your money, your fame, is you" — if it's the only quality alluring to a non-celebrity, "well then we've got a problem."Even if the attraction is deeper than a celebrity's pockets, there will still be plenty of hardships working against the couple."Based on my experience and based on my personal perspective as a publicist — and of course everybody's experiences are different — I don't see it as the ultimate fantasy at all," said Liza Anderson, the founder and president of<a target="_blank" href="https://andersongrouppr.com/"> Anderson Group Public Relations</a>. "It is a very rare occasion, from my point of view, where it actually works.""I think it's very hard to be the non-celebrity in a relationship when your spouse is getting bombarded with constant attention and praise and accolades for just breathing," Anderson added.The celebrity publicist also said that inequality in this type of relationship is unavoidable."Everything is at their disposal," Anderson said. "So it breeds a lot of insecurity for the person that doesn't have the same access."It's no surprise, then, that so many celebrity power couples exist, from <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/taylor-swift-travis-kelce-relationship-timeline-photos-2023-10">Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce</a> to<a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/jennifer-lopez-ben-affleck-relationship-timeline-photos"> Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck</a>. In Hollywood, dating someone with a similar fame level is simply practical. "I'm not saying that they're going to live happily ever after, but at least they have a chance," Anderson said.Cockrell agreed. "You see celebrities marrying other celebrities because there's a commonality," he said. "You don't have to go through that work of bringing somebody into this bizarre world. And a lot of people don't want that. They want their privacy."In some cases, stars pursue relationships with people who are Hollywood-adjacent and not necessarily actors or musicians, but people who might be at least a bit more comfortable with the quirks of the celebrity's industry. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/julia-roberts-husband-danny-moder-relationship-timeline-photos-2022-7">Julia Roberts married cameraman Danny Moder</a> in 2002, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/patrick-dempsey-wife-children-family-jillian-fink-2023-11">Patrick Dempsey wed celebrity hairstylist Jillian Fink</a> in 1999, and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/keanu-reeves-alexandra-grant-relationship-timeline-photos-2022-6">Keanu Reeves and artist Alexandra Grant</a> made their first public appearance as a couple in 2019."He's really the only person I could think of that is so normal about having a relationship with a non-celebrity," Anderson said of Reeves.

He's been around, so he's got a lot of experience and knows what's important to him and knows the value of it. But otherwise, it can be across the board just very, very difficult."<h2>A celebrity's high-pressure world is one of the biggest threats to the relationship</h2><div type="image" title="Julia Roberts sits across the table from Hugh Grant in a film still from &quot;Notting Hill.&quot;" height="1677" width="2519" msid="109838789" hostid="261" sizebytes="188356"></div>A couple can have good intentions, solid communication skills, love each other, and want a healthy relationship, but their romance can still be derailed by everyone else."It's not the people in the relationship," Anderson said. "It's the way that the people around you react. That takes its toll."Movies about celebrity-normie relationships show the negative side of fame, like the constant, invasive <a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzfeed.com/alexgurley/13-times-celebrities-called-out-the-paparazzi">paparazzi</a> attention and vicious tabloid coverage. But onscreen, these hurdles are primarily used as a plot device, creating a conflict in the couple's romance that will predictably be resolved so viewers get a satisfactory, well-earned happy ending.But in reality, these issues don't just disappear. In an age of social media, it's nearly impossible for a famous person to even go to a bookstore without a sneaky photo taken by a fan surfacing on Deuxmoi for the world to see. It's a big enough problem that celebrities use tactics like <a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzfeed.com/kristenharris1/celeb-paparazzi-disguises">wearing disguises</a>, switching vehicles, avoiding certain restaurants, and using fake names at hotels to reduce unwanted attention.This persistent surveillance can be exhausting and strain a relationship, Anderson said. "And the fact that you have to be camera-ready at all times when you're going out with your spouse is a lot of pressure."<h2>To work, these relationships need time out of the spotlight</h2>Even though the odds might seem stacked against a celebrity and civilian couple, these relationships aren't necessarily doomed.Cockrell said it's imperative to establish ground rules, be mindful of the power dynamic, and shed the embarrassment around wealth. If a financially unequal pairing progresses to marriage or a serious relationship, having open discussions about money allocation and ownership is crucial."People are more likely to talk about their sex lives than their bank accounts. It's just very, very private," Cockrell said. "You have to have these conversations, and they're hard to navigate through, but you just have to because things are going to be <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/kevin-costner-divorce-christine-baumgartner-yellowstone-2023-12">complicated really, really quickly</a>."In a public setting, Anderson said that the normal person has to accept that they'll be sidelined by their famous partner."If you go out to dinner with a celebrity that's very well known, and you're the plus one, you will literally get ignored," she said. "People can't help it because they just gravitate towards the celebrity."The publicist said that it's impossible to have a "normal life" as a couple in LA or New York, so there has to be a willingness to relocate to a less centralized, more remote location in order to create a healthy environment for the relationship.So while it's fun to fantasize about winning a date with a Hollywood bad boy or having a chance encounter with a music industry heartthrob at a music festival, most of the time, that's pretty much all it is — an escapist fantasy."Don't think you're missing out on anything," Anderson said. "I wouldn't want to be Hugh Grant in that movie."

<ul class="summary-list"><li><a href="https://www.a-frameagency.com/makeup/molly-r-stern">Molly R.

Stern's</a> line of work as a celebrity makeup artist (with a client list that includes Reese Witherspoon, Anne Hathaway, Maya Rudolph, and Cara Delevingne), fading fine lines right before a red carpet event or photo shoot is a crucial skill. It's why she spends so much time <a href="https://www.insider.com/celebrity-makeup-artist-anne-hathaway-reese-witherspoon-skincare-product-recommendations-2023-3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">layering serums and other hydrating products</a> to make her clients feel youthful and refreshed. <div type="image" title="Molly R. Stern" height="640" width="445" msid="99245048" hostid="261"></div>While routines are still important in seeing long-term results, we asked Stern for her best tricks for reducing wrinkles in a short time frame.<h2>Use priming pads to reduce dryness</h2>According to Stern, dryness and <a href="https://www.insider.com/dermatologist-debunks-myth-that-drinking-water-clears-your-skin-2023-3">dehydrated skin</a> can be key factors in developing prominent fine lines. She really loves <a href="https://retrouve.com/products/skin-brilliance-priming-pads" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Retrouvé Skin Brilliance Priming Pads</a> ($65), which she describes as "almost little exfoliating pads, but gentle enough for someone with sensitive skin to use."They feature alpha-hydroxy acids derived from fruits, which help wipe away dead skin cells and improve your skin's hydration. She said they're "amazing for somebody who's dealing with surface dryness."They're also fairly intensive: They should only be used once or twice a week, based on the brand's instructions.<h2>Invest in more intensive peels and masks</h2>While Stern loves the priming pads as a weekly product, there are two items she brings out when she really wants to feel "fresher and tighter and just ready" for the camera.The first is <a href="https://www.naturabisse.com/us/en/diamond-age-defying/diamond-extreme/diamond-glyco-extreme-peel/31D331.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Natura Bissé Diamond Glyco Extreme Peel</a> ($295), which she said is "a way more intensive exfoliation" than the priming pads. It exfoliates skin in 15 minutes, with ingredients like <a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/beauty/glycolic-acid-peel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">glycolic acid</a> smoothing and evening out skin tone.But the product she said really makes a difference is the brand's <a href="https://www.naturabisse.com/us/en/diamond-age-defying/diamond-extreme/diamond-extreme-ice-lift/31B216.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Diamond Extreme Ice-Lift</a> ($170), a peel-off mask Stern described as "a facelift in a bottle.""You paint it on, you let it dry, it sits for 20 minutes," she said. She enjoys peeling it off with her hands, but also said you can use a warm washcloth to gently remove the mask.And while Stern said it's "a home run every single time," she also recommended a more affordable option from the brand: its <a href="https://www.naturabisse.com/us/en/diamond-age-defying/diamond-extreme/diamond-instant-glow/31D411.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Diamond Instant Glow</a> set ($100), which features three serums and is a little more involved, but also cost-effective. "If you're on a budget and you have an event or a wedding or a party where you really wanna go the extra mile, the Diamond Instant Glow kit is a great alternative," said Stern, noting that, still, "Nothing beats the Diamond Ice-Lift Mask."<h2>Try tools that stimulate collagen and freshen skin</h2>When getting celebs ready for the cameras, Stern said there are two products she uses with everyone: The <a href="https://affiliate.insider.com?h=e3f64857e29177e06ddc3716c5f9dbe090132b3bc5d7f51dd69629bda10f7d04&amp;postID=6424a2f7232821368b2cbe7c&amp;site=in&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fpausewellaging.com%2Fcollections%2Fall%2Fproducts%2Ffascia-stimulating-tool" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pause Fascia Stimulating Tool</a> ($115) and the <a href="https://affiliate.insider.com?h=27eb3b3023e65510fb669e9fee5d575aae40aebd23cacdb9c97bb5edd68f6b57&amp;postID=6424a2f7232821368b2cbe7c&amp;site=in&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.jilliandempsey.com%2Fproducts%2Fgold-bar" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jillian Dempsey Gold Bar</a> ($195).She recommended using them in the long term for greater anti-aging benefits — the Pause tool claims to have collagen-boosting effects while the Gold Bar is designed to tighten the face. However, she said she "absolutely sees an instant effect, in the sense that it wakes the skin up."Beyond reducing fine lines, she says the tools immediately give her clients a more flushed, refreshed look: "Like they've just had a really hot, romantic make-out session."

A celebrity makeup artist shares 3 hacks to reduce wrinkles fast &mdash; giving you a youthful look within hours

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Cream eyeshadows can deliver beautiful, buildable pigmentation without needing any brushes - it's basically like using adult fingerpaint. </li><li>The <a href="https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=EHFxW6yx8Uo&amp;mid=2417&amp;u1=biipgf_091019_best-cream-eyeshadows&amp;murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sephora.com%2Fproduct%2Fcaviar-stick-eye-colour-P293605" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Shadows</a> are our top pick because they're longlasting, easy to use, and available in an array of stunning, unique shades, and finishes.</li></ul>I love cream makeup of all kinds - cream blush, cream highlighter, cream bronzer, and of course, cream eyeshadow. Cream formulas melt into the skin for a totally seamless, natural finish and can be applied with fingertips. You can use a brush too if you want, but I find it easier to use just my fingers. In fact, I almost always pack exclusively cream makeup when traveling because it's just so easy to use on the go.Some might find cream formulas overwhelming, but I think it's nearly impossible to mess up once you get the hang of it. Just one swipe with your finger can give you complete coverage, and the blendability is often unparalleled when compared to powders. When I want to create an easy eye look with just one color, I often reach for my stash of cream eyeshadows.Though I described creams as "natural" at the beginning of this article, not all of them provide a no-makeup-makeup look - plenty of creams are extremely pigmented and intense. In fact, many of the cream shadows featured on this list are the ones I reach when I'm going for high-drama. <h2>The best cream eyeshadows you can buy:</h2><ul class="summary-list"><li>Best eyeshadow overall: <a href="https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=EHFxW6yx8Uo&amp;mid=2417&amp;u1=biipgf_091019_best-cream-eyeshadows&amp;murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sephora.com%2Fproduct%2Fcaviar-stick-eye-colour-P293605" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Laura Mercier Caviar Stick</a></li><li>Best sheer: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CNQZJEU/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=biipgf_091019_best-cream-eyeshadows-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B01CNQZJEU&amp;linkId=04bd8c3c40a43d6068e8017bca5cdcd4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jillian Dempsey Lid Tints</a></li><li>Best drugstore: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006UET808/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=biipgf_091019_best-cream-eyeshadows-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B006UET808&amp;linkId=163139abe068a2449a3cf04cb5f1c9be" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Maybelline ColorTattoo Metal 24Hr Cream Gel Eyeshadow</a></li><li>Best cream-to-powder: <a href="https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=EHFxW6yx8Uo&amp;mid=2417&amp;u1=biipgf_091019_best-cream-eyeshadows&amp;murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sephora.com%2Fproduct%2Feyedols-eye-shadow-P443761%3FskuId%3D2220770" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pat McGrath EYEdols Eyeshadow</a></li><li>Best glitter: <a href="https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=EHFxW6yx8Uo&amp;mid=2417&amp;u1=biipgf_091019_best-cream-eyeshadows&amp;murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sephora.com%2Fproduct%2Fscattered-light-glitter-eye-shadow-P433811" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hourglass Scattered Light Glitter Eyeshadow</a></li></ul><a href="http://e.businessinsider.com/join/ci/insider-picks">Subscribe to our newsletter.</a> Find all the best offers at our <a href="https://coupons.businessinsider.com/">Coupons page</a>.
