Jolie considers herself an expert on various and sundry topics: mineral makeup, Kate Middleton’s hair, the hottest polo players, and lychee martinis, to name but a few.  But eye cream?  Total beauty neophyte.

Every beauty gal has one or two areas that she’s a bit weak in, and eye creams are truly my Achilles heel.  When a friend emailed me requesting a recommendation for a great eye cream, I didn’t even try to pretend I knew what I was talking about!

I took it to Twitter, asking my Tweeps for their suggestions, and I received excellent answers in spades.  Here, some favorites from other beauty writers:

@EmilyLFoley: Ole Henriksen’s Visual Truth Eye Cream in the African Red Tea collection is super rich and great for crow’s feet!
@retrodiva: Have you tried Freeze 24-7? I personally think it works miracles.
@TheIMakeupMaven: Garnier’s daily eye cream SPF 15 is great.
@Carleenp: I use regular Creme de la Mer as an eye cream. A sample size from ebay will last for months.
@beauty411: One of my HG eye creams = Zelens Intensive Triple Action Eye Cream; expensive, but worth every cent.
