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.
With both the awards season and Fashion Week calendar in full swing, February has been filled with breathtaking beauty moments courtesy of our favourite celebrities. The classic red lip is always a go-to for beckoning glamour: from Simone Ashley at London Fashion Week to the likes of Selena Gomez and Mikey Madison at the SAG Awards. Meanwhile, bohemian beauty cues continue to rear their head. See Jisoo‘s tumbling auburn curls, Hunter Schafer’s light-handed beauty base, and the pastel lids loved by actresses Lola Tung and Aisha Dee for your next pointers.
Without further ado, feast your eyes on the best celebrity beauty moments of February 2025:
1 / 10
Simone Ashley
The slicked back bun isn’t about to depart from the beauty spotlight any time soon. Attending a London Fashion Week dinner for 16Arlington, Simone Ashley sports the style as an ideal backdrop for her features to shine, boldly enhanced with a vibrant red lip and lashings of thick black liner.

Jisoo
Another month, another Blackpink member unveiling an enthralling solo project. Promoting her new record Amortage, Jisoo makes a striking statement in pre-Raphaelite curls and embellished nails.

Gracie Abrams
Here comes the (Chanel) bride. New Chanel ambassador Gracie looked fit to head down the aisle at the Grammys, wearing a wispy veil that, while shrouding her razor-sharp bob, drew extra attention to the smoked out shades of brown adorning her mien.

Lola Tung
Lola Tung is a doll-like vision at New York Fashion Week, courtesy of ’60s-style touches including frosted, pale blue eyelids; a cherry-red headband; and voluminous waves.

Doechii
Celebrity make-up artist Dee was the force behind Doechii’s glamorous beauty touches for Super Bowl Weekend. Clever lining—including some subtle definition below—of Doechii’s eyes was elevated with gloss-lacquered lips and a multi-hued green mani.
6 / 10
Mikey Madison
Red lips were everywhere on the celebrity-studded carpet at the SAG Awards, from Selena Gomez to Keke Palmer. We love girl of the moment Mikey Madison’s take on the classic look, with her vivid shade of choice standing out against blush-sculpted cheeks and pin-straight locks.
7 / 10
Lady Gaga
Trust Lady Gaga to make a show-stopping impression wherever she goes. But our attentions were particularly piqued when the artist stepped out at the Grammys, pairing her choppy jet-black cut with bleached brows for a combination that reads enthrallingly eerie.
8 / 10
Hunter Schafer
It doesn’t take much for Hunter Schafer to look great—and fittingly, at the Independent Spirit Awards, she made the case for a daisy-fresh beauty look. Low-maintenance hair and a light-handed beauty base, save for a bright blush dusting, is a sweet ode to the incoming spring season.
9 / 10
Havana Rose Liu
At the Tory Burch Show, Havana plays up her feline features with a tightlined gaze, pin-straight locks, and a subtle smattering of rose pink on the lips and cheeks.
10 / 10
Aisha Dee
A boho chic resurgence keeps rearing its head, and Aisha Dee makes the perfect poster child for a beauty-based take on the trend. At the SAG Awards, she sported a light wash of lilac across her eyelids, while kitsch diamond clips keep her face-framing hair in place.
