Ali Larter is having a major moment. With Landman Season 2 emerging as one of the season’s most talked-about series, the actress who plays the “for-the-ages” character of Angela is once again proving that longevity in Hollywood comes down to confidence, consistency and knowing what truly works—both on screen and in her beauty routine.
As the actress told us in an exclusive interview at the very start of the series, when it comes to skin care, she believes luxury doesn’t have to mean unattainable. “For me, Weleda cream is the most amazing affordable luxury,” she said. “It’s one of the greatest things out there and you can use it on your face or body.”
Larter may keep things practical, but a few luxury staples still make the cut. For targeted care, she turns to Augustinus Bader’s Eye Cream ($230), along with a touch of retinol and SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic ($185) in the morning, a combination she credits with keeping her skin strong and radiant.
If she’s in the middle of filming or facing long workdays, Larter says she “swears by” SIO Beauty Eye Pads ($30). “I like to sleep in the SIO eye pads if I’m working. Those are so great. They’re like the stickers and they definitely help lessen wrinkles and creases.”
Her glow-first philosophy extends beyond products. “I start my day with celery juice and then work out,” she shared. “Sweating is such a huge part of beauty. If I don’t go for a run, I’m going to steam. I try to sweat every day. It’s like exercise for the skin.”
Makeup-wise, Larter gravitates toward effortless enhancement and is a fan of Westman Atelier’s Under-Eye Concealer ($48) and bronzer, as well as the brand’s blush for a natural flush. “I really like glowy skin,” she said, noting that ILIA’s Super Serum Skin Tint ($48) is her daily essential. “Being older, I don’t like wearing a lot of makeup. But this tint is very light, and it keeps skin looking glowy. I like putting on some of the ILIA and adding a little of the Westman Atelier blush.”
Her routine also includes Laneige’s cult-favorite Lip Sleeping Mask ($24), Olaplex hair care and more long-standing classics she rightfully refuses to give up. “I’ve been using Lancôme primer and mascara for 20 years. It’s the only one that doesn’t smudge under my eyes,” she shared. For lips, Charlotte Tilbury’s lipsticks and liners are her go-to for timeless polish.
Larter is also embracing newer finds, including Iris&Romeo Reset Spray ($48) for an instant “glow and plump,” and counts herself a fan of Chanel Lumière products.
