Laying the foundation

If you want your makeup to stay flawless, your base must be flawless. Nars Light Reflecting Foundation, an innovative blend of makeup and skincare, promises this immaculate base while hydrating your skin. You can also celebrate carefree because it claims visibly improved skin clarity after six weeks of daily use—even after makeup is removed!

Pro tip: Start by applying foundation horizontally, and then blend with vertical strokes for a clean finish. Also to confirm your perfect shade match, allow foundation to dry down on skin.

Bronze up

Why do you need a bronzer? Because Chanel has Les Beiges Bronzing Cream. And you can wave bye to flat skin and zero glow, the days of mattifying bronzing powders or powders with hints of sparkle. This cream adds warmth to the complexion, giving your skin a sun-kissed glow that can make you look healthier and more vibrant.

Pro tip: Swish a kabuki brush around the bronzer before lightly applying to cheeks, forehead and down the nose.

Pout perfect

The picture-perfect pout can be a dominant beauty statement! If you’re ready to put your best pout forward, get your hands on Dior’s Contour No-Transfer Lip Liner Pencil—the ultimate tool for achieving perfectly defined lips with lasting comfort. Designed to withstand the demands of busy festive days and nights, this lip liner is ideal for long wear—a flawless, even colour that remains impeccable from morning to night or night to morning.

Pro tip: Apply foundation on your lips. Then swipe on the liner and fill in with lipstick. Dab some foundation or concealer along the outer corners of your lips with a brush or cotton swab. Blend out concentrating the colour in the centre of your lips and fading outward.

Colour me pout

Let all those beauty-obsessed finally know that 14-time Grammy winner Taylor Swift’s budge-proof crimson pout can be credited to none other than Pat McGrath Labs Mattetrance lipstick, in the shade Elson. A powder-matte lipstick that glides on the lips, it locks in the pigment while giving it a supple pout.

Pro tip: Blend into cheeks for a sensual, siren-worthy glow.

Eye defining

Think beyond the ordinary. Give your festive eye makeup, a glam upgrade by defining it with more than just the regular stroke of a kajal or a liner. Clinique Quickliner for Eyes Eyeliner is a gel-based formulation that allows more playtime after application than liquid counterparts. The eyeliner doesn’t fully set for about a minute, so you can use the built-in smudging tip to finesse a small flick or a small eyeshadow brush to blur out the pigments for a smokey eye effect.

Pro tip: Apply eyeliner to the waterline, the inner rim of your eyelids, to make lashes appear fuller without a heavy look.
