We'll admit it, after discovering Judi Dench's favourite mascara for sensitive eyes we fell down a rabbit hole wondering the exact buys that the actress' beauty bag makes home to. In recent years, Dench has been spotted adorning the barely-there lightweight makeup trend, and on many occasions often opting for a completely au naturel appearance. So, naturally, we were intrigued as to what her secret is for unlocking a fresh-faced glow.
Thankfully, her makeup artist revealed all and the answer arrives in the form of one of the best hyaluronic acid serums. In even better news, the buy used to prep her complexion currently boasts a stellar half price discount.

RRP: £32
Formulated with 1.5% micro and macro hyaluronic acid molecules, this serum works to deeply hydrate the skin, while smoothing the skin's surface and replumping fine lines from within. Quickly absorbing into the skin for a non-greasy or non-sticky finish, this formula reveals a softly supple, firmer and more toned complexion.
Makeup artist, Val Garland lifted the lid on the skincare routine she used on Judi Dench for the June 2020 cover of British Vogue, sharing her clever tip for awakening the complexion: “I started by giving Judi a face massage, then used a jade roller to wake up her skin,” she says.
Using a facial massage tool, such as the Brushworks Jade Roller, is a great way to prep your complexion prior to applying your skincare products of choice, in order to cool the skin, decrease puffiness and minimise the appearance of pores. Garland explains: "Massage is a great way of waking up your face and bringing blood to the surface.”
As for the actress' understated luminous look, Garland revealed the one serum she relied on to hydrate and plump the skin: “I really wanted to make it feel very dewy and fresh so I followed by massaging the L’Oréal Revitalift Filler Hyaluronic Acid Face Serum, which is a skin plumper, into her skin."
