BASE
A lightweight foundation that instantly evens out the complexion while blurring imperfections. Comes in 25 shades.
“The perfect balance between being lightweight and offering good coverage.”
Delivers a velvety matte finish that’s long-lasting and non- creasing. Comes in six shades.
“It doesn’t crack or accentuate lines on my forehead and cheeks, which tend to be more dry, and it makes my oily nose area stay matte.”
A lightweight skincare-infused concealer that offers buildable coverage. Comes in 12 shades.
“Super easy to blend, and disappears seamlessly into skin.”
BLUSH
A dual-ended stick blush that comes with a long-wearing soft colour balm on one end, and an applicator brush on the other. Perfect for adding a touch of colour to the cheeks, eyes and even lips.
“Easy to blend with the brush applicator, and felt very lightweight on skin.”
EYES
An innovative two-in-one eyeliner that pulls double duty by nourishing and lengthening lashes, thanks to its lash growth formula, while defining the eyes at the same time. Long-wearing and smudge- proof to combat Singapore’s heat and humidity.
“Eyes looked bigger because of the liner, and it felt great knowing that I was taking care of my lashes while beautifying my eyes.”
BROWS
A universal clear wax that suits all skin tones and brow colours. It tames, lifts and defines, while providing long- lasting hold to keep unruly brows in place all day.
“Happy with the instant results as my brows looked very clean and defined, and the gel kept them in place for very long, despite the heat and humidity.”
LASHES
The innovative wand with a magnetically charged core, along with the magnetic mineral-enriched formula and custom-designed zigzag bristles lifts, lengthens and define lashes for a flutter- worthy finish.
“The wand holds a good amount of product, and lashes were noticeably fuller with just one swipe.”
LIPS
A liquid lip colour that offers budge-proof, long-wearing colour – perfect for when you’re wearing a mask. Also has moisture-locking properties to keep lips hydrated. Comes in eight shades.
“This powdery cream lip colour sets to a solid film that doesn’t budge!”
A lip tint that won’t transfer or budge. Its hydro-matte finish won’t emphasise dry spots, keeping lips looking kissable and full. Comes in five shades.
“It dries down matte, leaving a nice blotted lip finish. There was still a subtle tint of colour left even after a meal.”
