“Evening celebrations require heavier eye makeup and a darker blush; anything pale will make you look washed out. Keep your mouth light with a colour that doesn’t compete,” says Khai.

Face
Start with Cellalularose Brightening CC Lumi-Serum Color Contral Radiance Elixir, as a primer. Next, Terrybly Densibliss Wrinkle Control Serum Foundation Firming Perfector for a smooth, radiant and matte finish.

Cheeks
A gel blusher is perfect for this heat and humidity. Apply Cellalularose Blush Glace Hydra Radiance Aqua Blush in 3 Frozen Petal just under the cheekbones for better definition.

Eyes
Apply Ombre Blackstar Color Fix Cream Eyeshadow in 3 Blond Opal over the upper lid to just above the crease line. Then blend in 10 Midnight Forest from the lash line to slightly under the first shade to make your eyes bigger. Next, Ligne Blackstar Intense Liquid Eyeliner Waterproof in 1 So Black on the top and bottom lash lines before adding a little 10 Midnight Forest over the lower line to brighten the eyes. Follow with Terrybly Growth Booster Mascara in 1 Black Parti-Pris. Khai says, “To create a smooth base and help eye makeup (cream or powder) last longer without creasing, apply Hyaluronic Eye Primer first. You’ll find that it fills and hydrates the skin around the eyes too.”

Brows
They frame your face. To look modern and youthful, keep yours shaped and defined with a pencil, like Crayon Sourcils Terrybly Eyebrow Pencil Definer in 2 Ash Brown or 1 Basic Nude, that’s one or two notches lighter than your natural brow colour.

Lips
Balance is everything with an intense eye. Khai finished the look here with Hyaluronic Sheer Rouge Hydra Balm Fill & Plump Lipstick (UV Defense) in 1 Nudissimo.
