A warm brick red that works on most skin tones. Its buildable coverage means you can choose to give lips a soft wash of colour or enhance the intensity for a bolder, stronger pout. Plus, its non-sticky, high-shine formula leaves lips nourished so you’ll be ready to pucker up anytime.

Best known for her role as Yeon-jin in The Glory, Korean actress Lim Ji Yeon was all smiles in her lilac dress in a recent IG post. She showed off her girlish charms with her fresh clear skin, flushed cheeks and wide grin.

This buildable gel-cream blush is perfect to give you that delicate, oh-so-natural pop of colour. Plus, it also contains collagen and blurring powder pigments that leave a soft-focus “filtered” effect. Pro tip: apply your blush higher up on the apples of the cheeks to cop Ji Yeon’s youthful glow.

Somi is always game for experimenting with her hair colour and we’re loving this bright orange hue on her. To complement her vibrant hairstyle, Somi opted for a no makeup, makeup look with inconspicuous eyeliner paired with inky lashes and a glossy peachy-pink pout.

She might be 57, but Carina Lau looks anything but. The glamorous actress turned heads as she showed up for the recent Tiffany & Co Blue Book event in Hong Kong with her husband and award-winning actor Tony Leung.
