Hong Kong actress Cecilia Cheung let her hair down in loose, voluminous waves and kept the rest of her makeup simpler with perfectly groomed brows and a pink lip. We love that she matched her nail polish colour to her red carpet-worthy fringed dress.

It’s a win for Ya Hui who proved that a side-parted, slicked back pixie cut just adds to the glam factor. Keep the eye makeup simple with eyeliner to define the eyes and go for a pink lippie to keep the look feminine.

Queen of Caldecott Zoe Tay kept the focus on her eyes by going with natural lips with a subtle hint of colour that matches her gown. Who can tell that there’s a 22 year age gap between Zoe and Wu Jinyan?

Local darling Carrie Wong went for a monochrome look from head to toe, with pink eyeshadow and lips to match her pastel pink gown. Her long, loose waves finished off the sweet and feminine look.
