Here’s a breakdown of the best beauty looks of stars from the past week and some tips on how to achieve them.

Carrie Wong

1/10

From Singapore to the Big Apple! The “Soul Detective” star gave us plenty of inspo for our next night out with her 2023 Met Gala after-party makeup look. The 29-year-old was seen schmoozing with the likes of Michelle Yeoh, Eileen Gu and Jared Leto in her slinky white dress and bold '90s smokey eye.

Fenty Beauty Snap Shadows Eyeshadow Palette in True Neutrals, $43

2/10

A must-have for replicating Carrie’s show-stopping eye makeup is a palette with a few hues that work together harmoniously. As a rule of thumb, start with the lightest shade on the inner corner and add definition by focusing the darkest shade on the outer corner.

Tasha Low

3/10

Sporting a barely-there, peachy nude “no makeup” makeup look along with juicy, wet-look waves, Tasha looks absolutely breathtaking.

Rose Hermès Rosy lip shine enhancer 27 Rose Confetti, $116

4/10

Mimic Tasha’s pout by coating your lips with this lip shine enhancer from Hermès. Besides imparting a sun-kissed sheen, this blue-toned lippy is also infused with white mulberry extract, sesame and raspberry seed oils to moisturise and nourish lips for a noticeably softer, plumper pout.

Available from May 15 at Hermes boutiques, counters and online shop.

Kimberly Wang

5/10

Kimberly just gave us proof that you can’t go wrong with a classic, black bow. At a recent Adidas Home Of Classics event, the radio jock channelled Audrey Hepburn and gave her go-to half-up, half-down hairstyle an upgrade with a cute oversized black satin ribbon.

H&M Black Bow-decorated hair clip, $14.95

6/10

The easiest way to attach a bow is to pick up one with a barrette clip affixed to it like this one from H&M.

He Ying Ying

7/10

Our favourite part of Ying Ying’s look has to be her rosy cheeks and luminous complexion (other than her luscious mane, of course).

Givenchy Prisme Libre Blush, $77

8/10

For a natural flush à la Ying Ying (without going under the sun), sweep blush across your cheeks and nose tip with a big, fluffy brush.

Rebecca Lim

9/10

Rebecca’s full, well-groomed arches, plush lips and radiant skin take centre stage in this natural makeup look.

Bobbi Brown Intensive Skin Serum Radiance Primer SPF25PA++, from $58

10/10

A brightening primer like Bobbi Brown’s Intensive Skin Serum Radiance is great for evening out your skin tone – plus it’s formulated with skin-loving ingredients like ginseng and licorice root to amp up your glow.
