One Swipe, Multiple Me

I have chosen 3 colors that I feel elevate the various roles in my daily life. Here goes!

For a sweet date with my boyfriend or a dinner with my girlfriends, I will prefer to go light but with visible colours still. In my boyfriend’s opinion, he feels that a light shade of pink like the Fierce Beauty best projects that young innocent side of me with a slight tinge of tenderness. Always reminding him of the feeling when we first! My choice was: Fierce Beauty – #04.

My job revolves around clinical research & more laboratory work, thus saving me the need to be in fanciful outfits. Nonetheless, looking presentable at work is still a must for me. Hence, a more subtle shade of pink would match the professional image I pursue in this aspect. 

Furthermore, I appreciate the practicality of Estée Lauder Pure Color Envy Liquid Lip Potion in fighting against the cold & dry environment within the lab with its extra boost of hydration to the lips. Vague Obsession - #12 to the rescue! 

How about the blogging events which I have to attend at night which is always filled with beautiful people? What shade can I summon to look more outstanding & confident amidst the crowd? 

The Lethal Red - 06 is definitely the one to go for! The red shade never fails to give that extra boost of confidence and mature feminine demeanor. Almost like sending out a subtle message to the others around: “Don’t try intimidating me, I know exactly what I want & I will go all out to pursue it passionately!”

This explains why it is my favourite among the three! Furthermore, I like the fact that it is easy to apply on & gives a even spread upon application. 

Soft Vintage Makeup Tutorial

If you're looking for inspiration on which wedding makeup look to sport, try this one for a change. It's soft and all blurred-out, and includes wispy lashes and warm neutral shades for both the eyes and lips. This is the perfect look for those who prefer to go on the soft side while still making a statement by incorporating a dash of vintage in their look.

Another retro-inspired look is the pink and mint colour combination. The best thing about this look is how the warm browns accentuate the bright aqua shade, for eyes that pop. Complemented with a glossy pink lip, this look will surely make the crowd give you a long second look. 

Vintage Makeup Tutorial - Classic 1930's Look 

by Make-up Designory 

Here's a hardcore 1930's look that will either make you cringe or swoon when you see what the makeup artist did with the model's eyebrows. See how long, thin, and fine that is? Well, you be the judge if you think that will work for you. Nonetheless, this is an inspiring tutorial for those makeup geeks and vintage fanatics at heart. 

Vintage 70's/30's style Make-up

by Lisa Eldridge 

Last but not the least is this Biba makeup look from makeup expert and vintage makeup collector, Lisa Eldridge. We love the dolled-up eyes, ultra wispy lashes, rosebud lips, sickly blush (yes, that's a makeup trend too), and of course, the colourful eye makeup look. If you have bright shades around, time to put them to use for a fun makeup session with your friends!

Besides keeping fit and having sufficient nutrients intake, it is essential to have a morning beauty routine, which is why I incorporated Estée Lauder’s latest Nutritious Vitality8 Collection comprising of the Radiant Dual-Phase Emulsion and Radiant Moisture Crème into my daily skincare routine. Packed with all the goodness of Pomegranate, I was so excited when I got hold of the range. Besides tasting so good, are you aware of the benefits this wonder fruit has? Being a nutrient dense, antioxidant rich fruit, it is known as a symbol of health, fertility and eternal life. It not only lowers both blood pressure and cholesterol, it is also believed to relieve or protect against depression and osteoporosis too. Health benefits aside, it is also good for the skin. It helps to hydrate dry skin, combat inflammation from acne breakouts, protect against sun and environment and last but not least stimulate collagen production. 

For mornings, my favorite products to use are the Nutritious Vitality8 Radiant Dual-Phase Emulsion (S$92) and the Nutritious Vitality8 Radiant Moisture Crème (S$92). As both are similar moisturizers with different textures, I alternate the usage on different days. 

The Radiant Moisture Crème comes in a plastic tub with a screw off cap. There is also a seal to keep the cream fresh. The light consistency of the cream enables the cream to be fully absorbed into the skin within seconds without that sticky or greasy texture. I was able to apply makeup immediately after. The Radiant Dual-Phase Emulsion on the other hand had a texture very similar to water because it’s so light! I was particularly drawn to the sweet smelling fragrance of both products. 

In addition, it actually gave my skin the radiance and brightening effect it required without compromising on hydration. I used this after returning from my Hong Kong trip where I became a lot darker and surprisingly I went back to my original skin tone probably even fairer than before. It helped vastly with the sun burnt situation on my neck as well. 

If you aren’t convinced yet, you should! According to Estée Lauder, 100% of women who used these products said their skin felt softer and looked more energized in just 8 days. What’s your morning routine like? Tell us your secrets!
