La Prairie is celebrating the 30th anniversary of its Skin Caviar collection, and with it, the launch of the latest edition to the Skin Caviar Ritual: the Absolute Filler. The new product reverses the loss of volume in the face brought on by aging, returning the visage to a fuller shape. The Absolute Filler restores a look of harmony, an essential element in La Prairie’s quest to achieve timeless beauty.
With that theme in mind, Whitewall Presents asked three women whose work is defined by the search for beauty—in the art world, that is—to put the Absolute Filler to the test. Tiana Webb Evans, Ava Rollins, and Lauren Prakke applied the skin-plumping product twice daily for a few weeks, and each noticed a visible change in fullness to the face. Here’s what these art world influencers had to say.

“Receiving a box from La Prairie like feels like Christmas on a random day of the year. The experience starts with the package design. As someone who lives in both art and design worlds, the physical experience of the container is also an important part of the product experience, somewhat like a preview or forward. Needless to stay, every time you pick up the bottle you know something special is going to happen.
I religiously used the Absolute Filler for the last few weeks, applying day and night as instructed and was pleasantly surprised. As someone who believes that skin care is 80% what you consume, I admit I was skeptical. After a month of late work nights, cocktails, and lots of flying, I would normally look bedraggled after consecutive nights of debauchery (along with taking care of children). By some skin care formula miracle, my skin defies my interior life with its blemish free dewy softness. I’m a convert.” —Tiana Webb Evans

“The Swiss excel at the sweetest luxuries I’ve ever enjoyed, both to touch and to taste. La Prairie has always been a touchstone of beauty, trusted by me and some of my most selective clients. The skin caviar coats your skin without being too thick. It plumps and soothes, especially around the eyes and neck. It’s a must-have for fall travel and outdoor winter activities. I love the guilt-free decadence of applying it as part of my evening ritual!” —Ava Rollins
