You have hosted various makeup masterclasses. What have been your attendees’ biggest takeaway?
It’s about guiding them through product selection tailored to their skin and aiding in curating their makeup kit. Moreover, it’s about sharing time-saving tricks and quick hacks, and ensuring a polished look without spending ages on application.
Are there specific makeup techniques for different face shapes?
Certainly! Makeup techniques can be customised to enhance various face shapes. For a round face, adding bronzer along the jawline can create more defined angles. Those with oval faces can opt to apply blush slightly above the apples of their cheeks for a natural and radiant appearance. Heart-shaped faces can benefit from contouring along the sides of the forehead and under the cheekbones, accentuating their features beautifully. People with long faces might consider focusing blush directly on the apples of their cheeks to add width and balance to their facial structure.

How can one enhance their eye make-up skills, particularly in winters?
To elevate your eye makeup, especially during the drier winter months which are prone to making makeup appear parched and heavy, prioritise prepping your skin. Start by hydrating your skin thoroughly, use an eye cream to nourish this delicate area, and applying a specialised eye primer. Choose cream-based eyeshadow for a smoother application. Opt for waterproof eyeliner and mascara to combat smudging. Also, use creamy pencils for added versatility. Additionally, consider adding lip and cheek stains for a natural, flushed look on your eyelids.
What are the makeup trends that you think we will see in the upcoming season?
Expect bold eyeshadow styles inspired by winter vibes and playful graphic eyeliners. Try out vibrant red lip shades and lively colours for a fun twist. Keep your skin looking fresh and radiant with that dewy glow. Also, don’t hold back on the mascara, and make sure to use eyelash curlers for that extra pop!
