Fatty Bom Bom

To get fat lashes, you need a jumbo-sized brush. They carry more mascara for maximum plumping, don’t require multiple coats and have dense bristles that are designed to better catch fine or sparse lashes. Diorshow’s latest Extase is tiered – inspired by the fashion house’s voluminous couture dresses and ultra-flare bottoms. Maybelline’s  The Magnum has the brand’s biggest brush to date – broad, flat and caterpillar-shaped. To use it without smudging lids: Look down and apply mascara from lash root to tip sans zig-zagging the wand as it delivers ample product. Use just the brush-tip for smaller, shorter lashes. – GYH

To Good Health
Most women here seem to think using just moisturiser is enough, let alone adding a pre-serum booster to their routine. So why is L’Oreal launching one? According to the brand, the most basic principle of skincare is giving it a healthy start. Natasha Chiam reports.···································· Turn up the lights
Neon lips don’t have to be a tacky relic from the ’80s. This season’s are still bright, but rich and matte, not fluorescent, and best worn with natural-looking eyes.···································· Hair Apparent
When it comes to makeup brushes, the key thing is how soft they are. And cult Japanese brand Artisan & Artist, famous for its calligraphy brush heritage, really knows how to make them oh-so-soft (if we had blankets made from them, we’d never get out of bed). How? Because each hair is placed and cut by hand at a specific angle so there’s zero scratch. Bonus point: All natural hairs are cruelty free, which means no animals are killed or hurt to produce the brushes. At Schmidt Marketing Flagship Store.
