The Look: Young Sophisticate

Spread a hydrating frizz-taming serum or cream evenly through damp hair before blow-drying to straighten three-quarters of hair. Start with a grape-sized amount and add more if needed.
Twirl the last few inches of hair around the brush to create soft, loose curls. Don't use curling tongs for this – it tends to create tighter, more defined ringlets.
Smooth some light-hold paste around the hairline to tame stray strands.
Apply a lightweight anti-frizz spray or fluid gel throughout the length of hair to keep it sleek and shiny. Use less on the ends to avoid weighing down curls.
Sweep hair over one shoulder, then set with a strong-hold hairspray.
Optional: Clip back hair in front with a plain bobby pin.

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

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.
