This de-puffing beauty product, known as the “eye slugs,” appears to be the real star of the show…
Who else will not enjoy this series of Married at First Sight UK? It adds the drama that weeknights have been missing. And while dinner party dramas are undoubtedly the focus of online conversation, a slightly left-field subject emerges that makes viewers’ minds spin.
What beauty item is it that puzzled watchers refer to as “eye slugs” and receives more airtime than some of the more conventional brides and grooms? An under-eye patch is the quick answer. These patches were first spotted on bride Leah at the start of the series, and they’ve since appeared on everyone from Rebecca to Rebecca to Nelly.
MAFS viewers are curious why they suddenly appear out of nowhere, whether or not they are wearing it in the morning or in the evening, or if the item is secretly “sponsoring the show.”

One user on the Holy Church of MAFS Facebook group pens in the comment section of a post dedicated to these under-eye patches: “I’m so happy someone else is talking about this because I was wondering what they are!”
One responds simply with “Eye slugs,” while the third responds with “I had to ask my daughter what they are–are they a sponsor”? !
We can confirm that Leah and Davide use Stella’s gold Under-Eye Masks, which retail for $17.95 for 24 pairs, on Amazon. These tiny gold slugs, which prime the area, reduce puffiness, and plump the appearance of fine lines in 20 minutes, promise to deliver camera-ready under-eyes in 20 minutes.
Explaining further, another Facebook user sheds light on why they’re so visible in this series: “Davide did an Instagram Live saying they get given to them by the production team because their roll calls for the dinner party would start at 6 am.”
Although there are a few other brands of Grace &, Stella’s eye patches available, it seems as though MAFS UK brides and grooms prefer using them. There are currently so many available that promise to treat pesky puffiness after long nights, but it would be like finding a needle in a haystack because we could hazard a guess as to which brands the patches are from.
However, we can share that many A-list celebrities use this exact plumping trick before rolling out on the red carpet. For instance, Adriana Lima and Anne Hathaway are referred to as fans of 111 Skin’s Cryo De-Puffing Eye Masks. Although they cost an additional £85 for eight, they are regarded as the most expensive mask on the market.
Stranger Things actress Millie Bobby Brown frequently appears in photos wearing her own Swimming Under the Eyes Gel Pads, priced at £34 for 60, for a little less money.
