Makeup Artists Share the Worst Beauty Advice They've Ever Heard

'Use Preparation H for under eye puffiness.'
"Use Preparation H for under eye puffiness." Forget about the models who have sworn by the remedy for decades, makeup artist and hairstylist Jules Annen says Preparation H has no place under your eyes. Even the manufacturer warns that the cream should not be used for anything other than what is listed on the label. "The present-day Preparation H Ointment no longer contains 'live yeast cell extract' which was once known to reduce swelling," Annen says. "The current active ingredients, such as phenylephrine, shark liver oil and hydrocortisone do have anti-inflammatory properties, soothing and healing properties — but for your toosh, not your face!" Instead, use a jade beauty roller and an undereye gel recommended by your dermatologist to fight puffiness.
