Air-conditioning strips your skin of moisture which leads to dry skin and irritation, causing your skin to feel a lot more sensitive and may even increase sebum production, making you more prone to breakouts. To combat this, add an oil-free moisturiser to your morning makeup routine. Wearing a moisturiser underneath your foundation keeps your skin moisturised and dewy through the day and prevents dry patches.


Problem: Dehydrated, Ageing Skin

Solution: Learn How To Get Clear, Youthful Skin Like Jamila

Keeping the skin well moisturised can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines, which tend to be more visible when the skin is dehydrated. Drinking a lot of water and exercising daily would also help your skin slowly recover from the stressors in your environment.

On special events, a casual-dressy look won't just cut it. You have to step your game up to look edgier than the rest. This is where haute looks come in handy. In French, "Haute" means "high" and is commonly associated with the word "Couture" which means "fashion". Thus, if you plan to go haute couture, you must be ready to step in the world of High Fashion. 


Here are 4 useful tips on how to make your look Haute-ready!

Eye-Catching Add-ons


(Get The Items Here: False Eyelashes, Sunglasses, Eyeliner)


Bringing the haute couture vibe on the red carpet means you need to work your look from head-to-toe. You can bring vintage reflective sunglasses such as this one from Chicnova or bat Mini Black Crystal False Eyelashes from Shu Uemura. If those aren't enough, you can always bring your cat-liner game up with Dolce and Gabanna's Beauty Intense Liquid Eyeliner in Peacock 5. 

Lustrous Lips
