Makeup artist: Peter Khor, @Peterkhor

Go-to Foundation: Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation ($71)

Makeup artist: Dollei Seah, @Dolleiseah

Go-to Foundation: La Mer The Soft Fluid Long Wear Foundation ($190)

Foundation rule:  Different finishes can require different playful techniques for the user. Start by building the application with small amounts first.

Makeup artist: Grego, @Grego7go

Go-to Foundation: HERA Glow Lasting Foundation ($79)

Foundation rule: Choose a foundation that best suits your lifestyle — indoors or outdoors — as the staying power proves essential for your needs.

Makeup artist: Ginger Lynette, @Gingerlynette

Go-to Foundation: Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Foundation ($76)

Foundation rule: Prep your skin before applying foundation and always blend. Start off with less foundation as most on the market are formulated to be buildable.

Makeup artist: Clarence Lee, @Clarence_lee

Go-to Foundation: Kanebo The Cream Foundation ($295)

Foundation rule: First and foremost, a foundation should feel comfortable on the skin.  The climate is also an important factor. Given Singapore’s humid weather, trying to achieve a dewy finish may result in an oily-looking complexion. Consider a foundation with shine control that delivers a subtle degree of dewiness without looking too grimy.
