Get the glow via skincare! Swap your strobes with a fresh, illuminating
fluid moisturiser that will not only make your skin look dewy but
plumped-up and super smooth too. A nifty gem is Chanel’s Hydra Beauty
Camellia Water Cream that’s loved by makeup artists Victoria Baron and
Sandrine Cano Bock for its light-catching power with or without makeup.
“This water cream creates a beautifully subtle and luminous glow without
feeling overdone,” says Victoria. Wear it before putting on your foundation and
see how its main ingredient, white camellia extract, along with antioxidant-rich
blue ginger refines and packs pearly effects to your complexion instantly!

Yay on wanting to add a serum to your daily
routine! These days, serums get an upgrade –
they’re friendlier to sensitive skin and would fit your
staple line-up well. Unless you know specifically
which ingredient triggers a bad reaction from your
skin, the safest way is to steer clear of everything that
might irritate it, such as synthetic colourants, strong
fragrances and harsh textures. You might want to
look out for this new serum by Mamonde, which
is free from animal ingredients, paraben-free and
hypoallergenic. Harnessing the power of pomegranate
blossoms and fruits, The Red Energy Recovery Serum
is your go-to for barrier-bolstered, well-hydrated skin
without having to tolerate flare-ups and redness!

Whitening or not, there’s a reason why some
face creams might not give the same effects
for your undereyes. Keep in mind that the skin
surrounding the eyes is thinner and more delicate,
therefore you’d need a product that would suit the
area well. According to dermatologist Dr. Janet
Prystowsky, it’s not the ingredients – instead, it’s
their concentrations that determine if they’re
okay to be used for your undereyes. Try this eye
serum on after your facial serum for firmness
and getting rid of dark circles. It checks all the
boxes while being lightweight and acid-free!

“I’D LIKE TO TRY THE NO-MAKEUP MAKEUP LOOK WITHOUT
OVERDOING MY HIGHLIGHTER, BUT MY COMPLEXION WOULD
LOOK DULL IF I SKIP IT. HOW DO I GO STROBE-FREE YET STILL
LOOK RADIANT?” – Marina Lee, CopywriterTEXT

Q
“MY SKINCARE ROUTINE IS LIMITED
TO A CLEANSER, MOISTURISER AND
SUNBLOCK ATM. I KEEP MY PRODUCT
USAGE TO A MINIMUM AS MY SENSITIVE SKIN
MAY FLARE UP SOMETIMES, BUT IT WOULD BE
AWESOME TO INCLUDE A SERUM FOR DAILY USE
TOO. ANY SUGGESTIONS?” – Lisa Azam, ClerkQ
“I’M ON A QUEST TO EVEN OUT
MY SKIN TONE. MY CURRENT
DAY CREAM HAS WHITENING
PROPERTIES BUT I WAS JUST WONDERING
IF I CAN I USE THE SAME ONE TO MAKE MY
EYEBAGS DISAPPEAR IN THE LONG RUN?”- Inara Ishak, Account executive
