We’ve seen the beauty realm evolve in a multitude of ways over the past decade. Long gone are the days when celebrity beauty ops would be dedicated solely to the red carpet with techniques used often obscured from the public eye. We’ve fast moved on to an aspirational age of social media: how-to tutorials by the professional artists themselves, established content creators sharing their own cosmetic hacks and even full-face routines by some of the biggest A-listers. And we’ve all emerged the better for it.
It’s undeniable—the likes of Instagram and TikTok have given us all a space for unabashed self-expression. And for some, an artfully made-up mien or a customised change of talons are the perfect canvases to do so. Pop culture has had significant influence in the sphere. Experimentation is abound, with novice creators and popular personalities alike attempting to ace a make-up look that is all the rage or share a thematic one-off look for others to recreate.
Then begs the question: how do we sieve out the best of all? Make-up trends surely begin somewhere, and learning from our seasoned celebrities is never a bad place to start if you’re feeling overwhelmed. Vogue Singapore might be of help to you on that front—with our monthly curation of captivating beauty moments, courtesy of our favourite faces from Hollywood, the K-pop scene and more, just for that fresh jazz of inspiration.
March was the time for glamour: front row at Milan and Paris Fashion Week, down the Oscars red carpet, in the grandstands at Chinese Grand Prix and more. Everyone was living in a smokey eye—whether they were smudged out or sharply winged. On the small screen and beyond, Sarah Pidgeon continues to bewitch us with the perfect shade of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy blonde. Hannah Montana is back in Hollywood. Meanwhile, bridal season is picking up with Zendaya and her bixie leading the charge. Across the beauty sphere, one thing’s for certain: there’s plenty to add to the moodboard this month.
Below, see the beauty looks and details that arrested our hearts in March 2026.

Zendaya
At the LA premiere of The Drama, everyone’s favourite multi-hyphenate turned heads in her side-parted bixie—made extra-romantic with kiss curls sculpted by Ursula Stephen. Complementing the look was a glowy mien, rosy cheeks and a hint of sparkle in the tear ducts, all thanks to make-up artist Ernesto Casillas.

Miley Cyrus
We’ve come full circle. 20 years on, Hannah Montana is back with her piecey blonde mane and face-framing bangs, to boot. In true Miley Cyrus fashion, she still found a way to rock smudged-out liner.

Sarah Pidgeon
She’s the stunning new face of ’90s blonde. At the Actor Awards, the Love Story star wore her tresses in a low pony complete with boho-chic front pieces.

Bella Hadid
Strutting down the YSL runway in a full lace look, Bella Hadid was a vision of grungey glam with purple smokey eyes, slicked-back hair and pencil-thin brows.

Ning Ning of Aespa
She’s a Gucci girl. Front row at Milan Fashion Week, Ning Ning’s sultry eyes were achieved with fluttery lashes and smidges of black along the outer half of the lower lashline.

Lola Tung
We’re calling it—this is the start of covencore. Think black eyeshadow, icy sparkle and minimal blush, as seen on the Forbidden Fruits starlet.
7 / 13
Lara of Katseye
You might want to save this one for festival season. In a truly hypnotising look, Lara’s eyes were a constellation of blue, pink and glittering gems, which matched her sapphire bindi perfectly.

Alexandra Leclerc
Making a pit stop in Shanghai, Alexandra’s debut as Mrs Leclerc was punctuated by a Chinese-style knot and undetectable make-up.
9 / 13
Momo of Twice
Consider copper for your next dye job, as seen on Momo at the Miu Miu fall/winter 2026 show. Her bangs drew attention to the centre of her face, which she kept highlighted with a dewy strobe down the nose.

RAYE
Channelling classic Hollywood glamour, RAYE’s signature bob took on a cherry red hue to herald her new era: her latest album, ‘This Music May Contain Hope.’
11 / 13
Tyla
If everyone starts slitting their eyebrows again, all credit goes to Tyla and her make-up artist, Ngozi Edeme. Lowering her inner corner eyeliner enhanced the feline shape of her peepers, especially with touches of glitter topping it off.

beabadoobee
Here to update the alt girl moodboard is beabadoobee, with a fresh jellyfish cut and skunk stripes.

Kelly Rowland
2026 is certainly the year for a body beat too—see the line of bling down Kelly Rowland’s spine, which proved to be the perfect accessory for her backless gown.
