Best beauty Instagrams of the week: Ring in 2024 in style with makeup and hair ideas from Karen Mok, Grace Chan and more celebs 

Decked out in pink, Lisa definitely looks like she’s ready to party. But instead of going with her usual fresh and dewy “soft girl” beauty look, the BLACKPINK singer opted for wet-look curls to add a moody edge. To complete, she paired her naturally voluminous mane with highlighted skin and nude, glossy lips.

Want to achieve Lisa’s luscious locks? This curl-enhancing cream helps to add definition thanks to a unique Vital-Curling complex. Hyaluronic acid and apricot seed and argan kernel oils keep strands soft, manageable and frizz-free. Plus, it also protects against hair breakage especially from the use of hot tools.

In her metallic red jacket and flirty red dress, Karen Mok is ready to bring the house down. To match the Hong Kong singer’s big personality, Karen’s glam squad gave her big, cascading waves and a diffused, smokey eye.

Make your eyes pop with this ultra-sparkly eyeshadow. The creamy formula glides on the lids with ease, delivering intense pigment and an instant luminosity minus the fallout that you get with loose glitter.

You can never go wrong with a LBD, and that’s exactly what Grace Chan chose for a fun night. And the perfect accessory? Strands of pearls in different sizes and lengths. And just like her outfit, the multi-hyphenate opted for a timeless, fire engine red pout.

This metallic red hue is the perfect finishing touch to any festive outfit. It offers an intense colour payoff and is infused with nourishing ingredients like ume flower extract and plant waxes to keep lips smooth and supple. And instead of swiping on the lipstick, dab it on your lips with your fingertips for a softer and more approachable look.

Filipino actress and model Heart Evangelista’s doe eyes are striking on their own. To draw attention to her peepers, she filled in her arches and layered a few coats of mascara for voluminous, fanned out lashes.

Not keen to get lash extensions and can’t deal with your mascara smudging? Try false lashes instead, like these semi-flared lashes that promise to make lashes flutter-worthy. Made with a lightweight synthetic material to mimic mink lashes, these strips can be used up to 25 times, so you’ll get more bang for your buck.

A smudged, messy lip is not how you want to start the new year. Instead, take inspiration from (G)I-DLE Minnie and Miyeon with their subtly stained lips in natural tones. We like how they kept their eyeliner flick thin and narrow – adding definition to their peepers without being totally noticeable.

While you can always opt for a tinted lip gloss, we prefer a clear gloss that can complement any lip colour of our choice. And for that extra festive touch, this one comes with pink flecks of glitter to add a dazzling finish to any lip look too. Apply to the centre of the lips for a subtle sheen and to prevent any transfer or bleeding.
