‘Tis the season for scintillation, and we’ve fused festive splendour with the Y2K beauty trends of glitter and gloss, just for Yule. Think glistening emerald eyeshadow; sculpted, gleaming skin; fluttery lashes; and glossy red lips that are sure to make a statement when you take off your mask at the dinner table…or leave a juicy mark under the mistletoe.
Consider this sparkling edition of Macro Mondays, Vogue Singapore’s beauty ASMR series, your cheat sheet to party-perfect make-up.
But even if you’re plans are to stay in and well, focus on skincare and self-care, I suggest you just plug in, turn the volume up, and indulge in the sensorial, spine-tingling scraping, crackles and squelches that we love.
