The Last of Us star Pedro Pascal made his first presenting appearance at the Oscars on March 12. Suited up and looking dapper as ever, Pascal brought his natural wit and charisma to the stage, as he stood next to Elizabeth Olsen for the role. But there was one thing that everyone couldn’t stop talking about after the event – Pascal’s flawless glow and youthful skin.

The “internet’s favourite dad” made sure to prep well before the event, given his ever-increasing prominence as Hollywood’s latest mega-star. Before HBO’s The Last of Us, Pascal’s biggest TV appearances involved getting his skull crushed in Game of Thrones and remaining (mostly) masked in The Mandalorian.

To prime his skin for the Oscars, his stylist Courtney (Coco) Ullrich-Mooney opted for a minimal regimen of a few high-quality products – namely, La Mer items, which are among the most coveted in the skincare world.

Combined, the products used would amount to over US$1,000.

Here’s how to replicate the routine for yourself …

Ullrich-Mooney told Harper’s Bazaar that she started the process by applying a pea-sized amount of La Mer’s The Concentrate and, separately, its eye version of the same product to Pascal’s face. Both work to even out the Game of Thrones actor’s complexion and protect his skin barrier.
