Myolie Wu, 42, looks incredible — here’s how she does it

Ever heard of MLBB? It stands for ‘my lips but better’ and refers to nude lipsticks that accentuates the natural look of your lips. And this is precisely what Myolie is employing here in this beach makeup look.

Part of Maybelline’s Superstay lip collection, this lipstick crayon comes with a built-in sharpener so that it is easy to create a crisp lip line. Blot with a facial tissue after application to create a softer, blotted lip look that Myolie frequently sports.

Not only do eyebrows help us express better, but a full set of arches can help you to look more youthful and put together. Myolie also opts for a straighter brow shape with a curve at the arch to complement and soften her square face shape.

Eyebrow pens are a newer innovation to elevate your brow game. This brow pen contains three ultra-fine prongs to “draw” and mimic the illusion of fuller eyebrows. Just remember to pick a shade that is one to two shades lighter than your hair to ensure that it looks natural.

Myolie’s off-day makeup involves minimal use of contouring and the strategic placement of blush on the apples of her cheeks. The result: full cheeks that mimic the youthful appearance of babies.

Cream blushes are great to create a soft, natural flush. Start with a small amount and slowly build to the desired saturation. And for those with oily skin, apply the cream blush after foundation and before setting it with setting powder or lock in the colour with a powder blush.

Another key to nailing Myolie’s youthful, natural makeup is to not exaggerate your eyeliner. Just line your eyes or slightly extend the wing a little to create a soft look. An overly dramatic wing, while it looks cool and grungy, can look harsh and age you.

A cult favourite from Japan, this eyeliner has a 0.1mm tip to help you create the thinnest lines possible. The eyeliner also has a waterproof and smudge-proof formulation that promises 24 hours of wear.

How many of us actually spend any amount of time styling our hair before heading out the door? But if you want to look polished, give your hair some attention with products or give it a few passes with a styling tool to make your hair look tidy.

This Dyson hair straightener might cost a pretty penny, but it can be charged and used cordless so you can use it in the taxi on a rushed morning. Besides straightening your tresses, it can also be used to create curls and waves. Dyson also prides itself on a patented technology that styles with a lower temperature that results in less heat damage and frizz.
