Asia’s Next Top Model’s Makeup Director On The Hottest Beauty Trends Now

We speak to Asia Next Top Model’s makeup director Nigel Stanislaus on the beauty trends that are exciting him most now and the makeup products he swears by.

by ISABEL ONG  /   April 13, 2016

Asia’s Next Top Model Cycle 4 premiered on March 9 with 14 models from Myanmar, Thailand, Hong Kong, Vietnam, the Phillippines and South Korea vying for the title. In episode 2, models sported edgy graphic eyeliner; in episode 4, they pulled off a colourful smokey eye and a shimmery lip polish.

The man behind these looks: Singaporean makeup artist and Maybelline New York’s Official Makeup Director Nigel Stanislaus. He’s worked with celebrities like Mel B and Peaches Geldof, as well as top supermodels Linda Evangelista and Cindy Crawford (their secret to good skin? Keeping themselves hydrated, he tells us).

We caught up with Stanislaus to find out more about the beauty trends that excite him most and tips on choosing suitable eye and lip colours for Asian skin.

“Bold brows and bold matte lips over a velvety foundation finish.”

Top 3 beauty products no woman should go without

“Maybelline’s Fashion Brow Sharp Pencil ($13.90), because a well-drawn brow will help to frame faces better. The Color Sensational Bold Matte Lipstick ($19.90) – matte lips are in this season, and a bright pop of colour on lips makes you look fresher even without eye makeup on. The White SuperFresh Liquid Powder ($24.90) helps to keep complexions matte, too. It transforms from a liquid texture to a powdery finish so skin looks natural and fresh.”

Best lip/eye colours for Asian skin

“Asia is a very big and diverse continent, and the best advice I can give is that the lighter the skin tones, the brighter the shades and the darker the skin tone, the deeper the shades.”

Skincare products you use to prep models' skin before a shoot

“The standard skincare routine my team performs is to use eye drops (to keep eyes dry), micellar water to cleanse the face and Baby Lips Candy Wow Lip Balm ($9.90) on the lips to keep them healthy (and hydrated). Then I use a light hydrating moisturiser to nourish the face and applying makeup.”

How women can be bolder when using makeup

“We shouldn’t try to change (the way) women (use makeup), but find ways on how to bring out their potential. Every girl should try wearing a smokey eye and a strong lip at the same time.”
