We take inspiration from the makeup, hair and skincare of 7 local celebs and make their secrets our own

While we may always be ogling at Kim K’s contoured makeup or Rihanna’s bold look, we know that the Singapore’s climate and our Asian features may not always help us pull off their tricks.

Want more relevant role models? Perhaps local celebrities will be better options! Here are inspirations to pick up from celebrities in Singapore to get our hair, makeup, and skincare back in order.

2. Draw on natural eyebrows to frame your face nicely for those Instagram-worthy photos!
3. Lather on a coral nude lipstick and a bit of clear lip balm or clear lipgloss for that healthy moisturised sheen.

DV Tip: Use long-lasting lip products like matte lipsticks paired with a lip liner of a slightly darker shade to have perfect lips all day under the hot sun!
