As part of my everyday morning routine, I spend 15 minutes putting on a full face ‘no-makeup’ makeup. While it’s the fastest way to help me glow up, applying makeup the same way daily can sometimes feel like a chore rather than a choice.
To switch up my look, I often look to Instagram for inspiration. Through the Explore page, I was introduced to these creative, SG-based makeup artists.
From hi-shine face gloss, unexpected splashes of colours, and expressive strokes, these creatives will fill your feed with fresh perspectives and make you want to shake up your makeup.
