Instead of opting for predictable scarlet lips, orange lips seen on “Recipe of Life” star Carrie Wong are a fresh way to mark the occasion through your makeup. If you want to let your orange pout shine, pair your statement lips with lightly highlighted skin, well-groomed brows and a coat of mascara.

A post shared by Felicia Chin 陈凤玲 (@iamfeliciachin)
Actress Felicia Chin proves that you don’t need loads of eye makeup when your cheeks are rosy. The easiest way to achieve this look is to tap some cream blusher on your cheeks, making sure to extend the colour to the top of your cheekbones so you get that “snatched” effect without having to apply bronzer.

A post shared by ✨🌟Fann Wong💋💋 (@fannaiaiwong)
Red lips are a perennial favourite especially this time of the year. “Creme De La Creme” host Fann Wong knows the shade of red that flatters her and this pinkish red one is the right hue for her. Before painting your lips red like Fann, you want to prep your skin and mask any blemishes and unevenness. Don’t want to use a heavy foundation? A touch of concealer will be enough to hide any imperfections.

A post shared by 💋💋Yvonne Lim✨✨ (@yvonnelim928)
What we love the most about celebrity mummy Yvonne Lim’s monochromatic pink makeup is that you can make it as bold or as understated as you want. To recreate Yvonne’s effortless and muted one-tone look, apply a hydrating primer for that lit-from-within glow and pair it with a lustrous pink lip balm. With the help of a soft pink blush on the cheeks, the results will be a sweet, girl-next-door monochromatic makeup look.

This flirty hairstyle seen on Joanne Peh shows that you can jump on the half-up, half-down bandwagon even if you have medium-length hair. The “Mind Jumper” star’s enviable hairdo involves a half-up bun on top and cascading curls. All you have to do is to add a little mousse to your tresses for body and texture before popping the top section of your hair into a high bun.

A post shared by Julie Tan 陈欣淇 (@julietan_cxq)
The local actress took to Instagram to show off her stunning blue winged liner look. The blue wing on Julie adds a subtle hint of colour to an otherwise neutral makeup look. The National Day weekend is the perfect time to experiment and play around with different winged eyeliner looks. Put your own patriotic twist on the neon eyeliner trend by swapping out the blue liner with a fiery red or white one.

The highlight of Ah Jie’s natural-looking no makeup, makeup look? Her healthy, rosy flush. To cop Zoe’s post-workout flush, reach for a lip and cheek tint like Benetint Cheek and Lip Stain, $31 to add colour and life back to your skin.

A post shared by Belinda Lee 李心钰 (@leebelinda)
The best part of host Belinda Lee’s look has to be her gradient lips. To mimic the look, start by concealing your lips with concealer or nude lipstick. Next, with a lip tint or lipstick, dab a few spots of colour focusing on the centre part of the lips. Finally, with your fingers or a brush, blend out the lippy.

If the “Loving You” starlet has taught us anything, it’s that an overdrawn lip is just as transformative as an actual aesthetic procedure -- minus the cost and downtime! Fake a fuller pout by applying concealing on your lips, then tracing slightly over your natural lip line with a lip liner. Finally, fill in your lips with a matching lipstick.

A post shared by Official Fan Club of Rui En (@rbkd)
The actress often sports this version of no-makeup, makeup. It typically involves a lightweight base, barely-there lip colour and slight flick of eyeliner on the outer corners of each eye. Rui En elevated her go-to look by pairing her makeup with on-trend braided tendrils (two tiny strands braided on either side of the face).
