With over three decades worth of experience and having worked with top models and a-list celebs like Zhang Ziyi and Stefanie Sun, makeup artist Clarence Lee has tried and tested some of the best products over the years – which is why we asked him to share his best kept tips and must-haves to pull you through your midday makeup slump.
“This sanitiser is the only one I will buy repeatedly because it sanitises and moisturises at the same time without drying out my hands even with frequent use.”
“This long-wearing and comfortable lip balm keeps lips moist and supple. There’s also mint in it so it gives a refreshing feel.”
“This concealer isn’t thick and yet, it gives good coverage. It can be used as a remover to clean up smudges around the eyes.”
“They can be used in several ways such as when you’re applying your lip butter or concealer on the go. Their small tips make the application more precise too.
For the sake of the environment, I only use the paper shaft ones; they are also firmer and easier to control than the plastic ones. I cut them into halves and store them in an upcycled case so that I won’t have to trash a whole stick when I’ve only used one end of it. #ReduceUseReduceWaste.”
