Cher and Emily Blunt both used this ‘facelift in a jar’ before the Met Gala

Emily Blunt’s red carpet necklace might cost a cool half million, but her face cream starts at just $32.

Last night at the Met Gala, stars dazzled in designer outfits with stunning beauty looks to match. But before makeup was even applied, several also prepped with red carpet-worthy skin care — including Charlotte Tilbury’s cult-favorite Magic Cream.

The hydrating must-have was used on both Blunt and Cher, laying the perfect foundation for their timeless looks — and proving the versatility of the peptide-charged, anti-aging moisturizer and primer hybrid.

It was recently reformulated to be even more effective in targeting 10 signs of aging, including elasticity, wrinkles, redness and more — and the brand even says it’s “like a facelift in a jar!”

Adrien Brody, Georgina Chapman and Olympian Eileen Gu also all used Magic Cream for fashion’s biggest night, while co-chair Venus Williams and model Jasmine Tookes got glammed up with other Tilbury products.

While Charlotte Tilbury is a longtime red carpet staple, it’s a hit with editors, too. (Page Six’s Style & Shopping Director, Elana Fishman, even calls the celeb-approved cream “truly magic.”)

Shoppers also love it, with one writing, “This is a wonderful product! Softens and smoothes my face lines noticeably after less than a month’s use! Excellent value for price! I have recommended this product to several friends!”

For last night’s gala, Cher’s MUA, Francesca Tolot, also used the hyaluronic acid-infused Charlotte Tilbury Magic Serum Crystal Elixir on the legend, which hydrates skin while providing additional anti-aging benefits.

Meanwhile, Blunt’s go-to glam pro, Jenn Streicher, used Hollywood Flawless Filter as the next step in skin perfection for the Oscar-nominated actress.
