Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream is a cult classic with more functions than we can possibly list here. In fact it’s not only a staple in most ELLE team handbags but also in yours. We took to Twitter to find out what ingenious uses you’ve found for this wonder balm; plus Team ELLE shared too.
Oh, and I created the hashtag #8HOURELLE so keep on tweeting us with your great tips!
@ELLEUK Can't remove waterproof mascara? Rub a little 8hr cream on your lashes then wipe off with cotton wool!

‘For a dewy complexion I use it on my cheekbones, where I would normally put a highlighter. It’s reflective but doesn’t add any colour.’
Suzanne Scott, Beauty Writer
@ELLEUK I sometimes use a tiny dab over eyeshadow for a glossy effect. And it’s great for taming eyebrows.
