Beauty Headlines
In fresh celebrity beauty news, Lindsay Lohan is now working on developing her own beauty line โ following in the heavy footsteps of celebrity-beauty-brands like Fenty and Haus Labs.
In other news, I recently spotted an affordable lookalike for those stunning hourglass face palettes from Sephora Collection โ and guess what? They look stunning! Plus they come in three different shades for the perfect blend.
Seasonal Updates
Itโs official: itโs makeup melting season! As an expert with over a decade of living in Asia under my belt, I KNOW just how challenging this climate can be. Long story short โ the products and trends we fall in love with from US/European influencers are just not going to cut it here!
Something important to think about: how are you prepping your skin?
Iโd advise to keep moisturiser light or just skip it altogether โ let your SPF be that layer! Cream blushes and bronzers may be very trendy right now, but theyโll just melt right off here unless you’re going over them with a powder counterpart.
Speaking of powder, Iโve found the answer to whatโs going to keep your makeup in place; find a setting powder you love! Iโve got the full 101 here with loads of product recommendationsย โ like Huda Beautyโs Easy Bake Loose Powder โย that can help delay undereye creasing and shiny foreheads.
Must-Try Products This Month
Supergoop Unseen SPF has been revamped, taking its SPF rating from 40 to 50 PA +++! If youโve never tried this product before, youโre about to discover a truly unique and perfect sunscreen that doubles as a makeup primer โ complete with an utterly clear and grippy texture.
One thing youโll learn about me is that Iโm all about sun protection โ so lying in the sun to get a tan is very off brand. That’s why Iโm recommending my favourite fool-proof way to look sun-kissed but not sun-damaged: use a gradual tan moisturiser a few days a week! I recommend the St. Tropez Gradual Tan Classic โ my ultimate go-to!
Trend Alert!
Butter Yellow is trending as the colour of the season โ so how do you get your makeup to complement this smooth shade? For the everyday woman, I believe the answer is not a yellow eyeshadow, but butter yellow nails.ย Pick up the Ovni colour from Chanelโs Le Vernis line โ pastel yellow never looked so glam!
For your makeup, Iโd suggest pinks to complement your yellow outfit โ just a pat of Kosas Blush is Life Baked Brightening Blush and youโre all set!
Healthy Horizons
If you have neck pain or are worried about creating sleep wrinkles, try to incorporate a few wellness habits into your sleep routine. For example, consider trying this new Sleep & Glow Omnia Beauty Pillow Iโve found. After using it every night, I can confirm that it’s an absolute game changer!
Stay fresh, donโt let humidity win! ๐ Got a beauty crisis? โ Iโve got you. Till next time!
