Gorgeous make-up begins with healthy skin, to be sure, but you could be forgiven for wanting a touch more radiance on your face. Even with the rise of masked make-up in the past two years, the need for lit-from-within skin remains as strong as ever. For this, we look to light-reflecting pigments in light-as-air formulas; a buildable sheen that’s placed on the tops of cheeks, browbones and of course, to draw the eye to strategic points such as the shoulders and limbs.
And that’s what we’ve captured for you in this episode of Vogue Singapore’s Macro Mondays beauty ASMR series. Zoom in on the shine via the iPhone13 Pro Max and get switched on to these radiance-inducing glow-getters.
