Are these the most ‘beautiful’ Singapore influencers?
Behold this terrific trio of Insta-popular beauty bloggers – Amanda Yong, Regina Chow and Roxanne Zhang – all of whom are engaged in mortal makeup combat to emerge as the first-ever Estée Lauder Street Style Superstar. Who should win? You decide!
By Eugene Quek -
Woah, talk about fierce faces on fleek. A flawless face is the foundation of any viral street style shot – your followers will be that much more likely to “double tap” on a “pore-fect” photo, right?
To that end, we’ve winnowed down our squadron of Street Style finalists to these three leading ladies, who will now be vying for your votes to emerge as the Kendall Jenner of Singapore, so to speak. The competition is as stiff as industrial-strength falsie glue, so expect lots of lashings of mascara and death by cosmetics!
But first, scroll through the contestants’ “comp cards” – complete with running commentary by yours truly– and decide for yourself who deserves to be deemed the inaugural Estée Lauder Street Style Superstar. Oh, and one more thing: Don’t forget to vote, vote, vote!
Amanda is Seoul chic, right? Perfect for Pinterest and incredibly Insta-friendly, her beguilingly bare look boasts the pouty puckers and glistening gleam worthy of any Garosu-gil girl – or Clementi “chiobu”, for that matter.
(Bonus beauty points for her Kool K-Bob – the style is a cut above the mane contenders for its maximum fabulousness and minimum fuss.)
I’m especially digging how the delicate dewiness and flushed femininity of her complexion complements the clean lines of her almost austere attire. Ultra cool, ultra ulzzang. I like!

Regina’s ravishing look is all about that natural-looking nude blush, which flushes her face with a lovely lit-from-within luminescence. Notice how the hue is kept high up on her cheeks? This winsome wedge of colour lends her mien a subtly lifted and superbly slenderising effect. Look and learn!
Moving on the mouth, let’s take a moment to appreciate her rosy Goldilocks-esque stain that hits the sweet spot between wet and matte – like plump petals caught in a dewy day drizzle!
V-shaped visage, luscious lips … what else? There’s also Regina’s equally enthralling head of wind-swept waves. The ashy summer-ready strands, dusty pink lips and ruddy cheeks make for a really cohesive colour story when paired with the boho browns of her earthy ensemble. Nicely done.

Roxanne’s bringing out the big guns with her gorgeous game-face, which is a show-stopper of a look if there ever was one. Absolutely adore the hard graphic pop of her “eye-conic” eyeliner – the sooty swoosh at the outer edges gives her baby blues a beguiling bedroom effect, amplified manifold by the sexiness of her shiny scarlet smackers.
Do as Roxanne does here and pair your provocative peepers and puckers with a fabulous fedora and monochromatic #girlboss blazer, and you've successfully married glamorous high fashion with gritty street punk. #SoMuchSwag!
