Practical, devoted, and sensible, nudes are perfect for Taureans. Proactive and always on the go, having nails that match any type of OOTD is the best way to go for people who are born under this Earth sign!


Gemini (May 21 to June 20) 



Green is the colour of life and new ideas. And as people under this sign are described as gentle, curious, and a lover of deep and meaningful conversations, its earthy shades are perfect for Geminis.


Cancer (June 21 to July 22) 



Deeply intuitive and highly imaginative, Cancers often have very bright personalities. Their presence can simply light up a room and bring harmony to the people they care about, so a stand out shade of yellow is something they can easily pull off.


Leo (July 23 to August 22) 



A Fire sign just like Aries, people who are born under the sign of Leo are very warm and passionate. Blazing with humour and generosity, blood orange nails embodies everything about this sign.


Virgo (August 23 to September 22) 



Shy, loyal, and hardworking-- these are some of the words that often describe Virgos. Dislikes the spotlight and prefers to bring out the best in the people around them, minimalistic grey nails are perfect for people born under this sign.


Libra (September 23 to October 22) 



The sign of the scales, Libras are known for being level-headed, fair, and cooperative. And to match a personality that makes a statement, this sign should go for a solid shade like royal blue to complete their look.


Scorpio (October 23 to November 21) 



People born under this sign are classic sirens who gets everyone smitten with their bold personalities. Mysterious yet charming, Scorpios will never go wrong with black nails.


Sagittarius (November 22 to December 21) 



Idealistic, generous, and very philosophical, Sagittarius are the biggest travellers among the bunch. Imagine whimsical nights and show your wanderlust by painting your nails in sparkling purple.


Capricorn (December 22 to January 19) 



Strong and independent, a touch of shimmer can make a Capricorn shine even brighter. Going for a shiny brown complements their grounded personality and chic sense of style.


Aquarius (January 20 to February 18) 



Aquarius-borns are carefree, creative, and original. That’s why going for something bright and easy-on-the-eyes will make their personal style even unique. With that said, why not paint those nails with a refreshing splash of mint?


Pisces (February 19 to March 20) 



Artistic, gentle, and wise, Pisces is all about getting all those pastels on point. Just like the blushing cheeks of a happy child, express your youthful and fun-loving side with pinks!

When a brand’s beauty products are good, they can be used by anyone, anywhere, and anytime.


Last April 21st in Sinagpore, in line with the release of their new generation of BB cushions, leading K-beauty brand LANEIGE shined the light on their products' versatility through a runway show that exhibited the evolution of beauty trends, in collaboration with makeup artists from Fac3inc, at The Arts House at The Old Parliament. Numerous models, who were dressed in Klarra’s Spring/Summer 2016 collection, came out sporting bold red lips from the 1950’s, all the way down to the grungey 90’s.

But they didn’t stop there. The past beauty trends were followed by modern edgy looks that definitely wowed the audience; proving that the possibilities of makeup are endless with LANEIGE.

So if you want a more in-depth look into how makeup has changed over the years, and see how their BB cushion is the perfect base for transformative looks, keep reading below!


--------------------------


Classic 50's



Flawless skin, perfectly shaped wings, and bright red lips that are all universally flattering turned this 1950’s makeup trend into a classic makeup look!

Extreme 60’s



Thanks to Twiggy, it was all about big, doe eyes back then with the help of falsies and a lot of black and white eyeliner. While it may seem a little extreme to wear today, it’s no wonder why this makeup look became iconic.


Colourful 80’s



If you like playing with colour, then the 80’s were the decade for you with its big hair, bright red or hot pink lips, and rainbow eyeshadow looks!


Dark 90’s



But colourful makeup took a backseat once grunge took over the 90’s. Brown lips, which are becoming popular again today, dominated all the red carpets and MOTDs.


Fresh And Glowing



Today in the 2010’s, natural-looking makeup is the ‘look’ to have. Every one wants fresh, glowing skin, which you can instantly achieve using LANEIGE’s BB Cushion, paired with full brows and contoured eyes!


Dramatic Yet Wearable



On the opposite side of the ‘natural’ makeup trend is the dark and glamorous look. Smoky eyes, bold eyeliner, and shimmery lids are just some of the ways you can rock that dramatic-yet-wearable look!


Avant Garde



Not for the faint of heart, Avant Garde makeup is experimental in nature by using bold colours and unconventional techniques – a sure way to show everyone your creativity!
