These beauty experts are responsible for helping people look their best. Here, they share the easiest and best makeup tips that anyone can follow
Making people look good is quite literally their job. Singapore’s top makeup artists (from left) Peter Khor, Dollei Seah, Clarence Lee, Sha Shamsi and Larry Yeo took years to hone their craft, but were happy to share what they've learnt to help everyday women (including makeup beginners!) look great and save time while doing their own makeup.
LARRY YEO
After working as a makeup artist for different makeup brands, Larry Yeo eventually decided to take the plunge and go into freelancing. “The first six months were horrible and I didn’t know what to do even though I still got a few shoots from friends in the industry.” But he persevered, becoming a successful makeup artist with an impressive list of loyal clients.
According to Larry, only three basic steps are needed to complete a natural, daily makeup look. “The eyebrows have to be filled in, dark under-eye circles hidden and lips moisturised. Everyone wants five more minutes of sleep rather than five minutes of extra time on their face, but these three steps should not take more than 15 minutes.”
One quick way to save time would be to use less foundation or skip it all together. “Many women tend to pile on foundation thinking that it evens out their complexion, but they should really just layer products where they need it. Unless your skin is really that bad, most Singaporeans don’t really need foundation. Foundation sounds complicated but most women only need a sheer coverage.”
