Want skin like the stars? Right this way… BY SHRADHA AGARWAL

MODEL:LAURA ALEKS • PHOTOGRAPHER-WWW.CHAOXANGEL.COM • ISO STUDIO

Y ou don’t need to be Hollywood royalty to have a JLo and Kim Kardashian glow! It’s all about the products - knowing what to use and how to use it to mimic Hollywood glamour. Follow these techniques to accentuate your features and shine on. Looking fresh, defined, and polished with a glow is what counts now.

THE SUNKISSED LOOK

The right bronzing technique is to mimic where the sun falls on the face. Bronzer is for bones, not for the entire face. Focus it on the cheekbones, the bones above the temples, the bridge of the nose, and the chin to mimic a natural tan. Bronzers should never be more than two shades darker than the skin’s natural colour. Copper shades work well with olive skin whereas orange copper tones compliment dark skin. Choosing a formula for bronzing also depends on the skin type. Cream and gel formulas work best on dry skin whereas powder would compliment oily or combination skin .

SCULPT & HIGHLIGHT

Sculpt

The ability to work with light and shading is the backbone of makeup illusion. Adding shadows with makeup could change the very look of your bone structure. Sculpt / contour is the art of creating shadows in certain areas so the face appears to have more structure and definition. For defined cheekbones, first, suck in your cheeks to make your cheekbones pop. Then, using a contour brush, apply the product sparingly to the hollows of the cheeks, blending away any harsh edges. Apply contour product just below the jawline, starting under the ear and under the chin to minimise a double chin. Apply some shading all along the hairline of the forehead if you have a large forehead. A little shading along each side of a wide nose will help narrow it down.

Anastasia Beverly Hills cream/powder Contour kit - $ 40

DON’T: Use shimmer bronzer to contour, as shimmer reflects too much light and contouring is all about creating shadow.

Highlight

Highlighting is the modern way to bring out your cheeks and give the face extra light and lift. You can use a shimmery highlighting stick, cream, or powder to attract light at points where the sun usually hits the face. A touch of highlighter placed on top of the cheekbones brings them out. A lighter highlighter applied down the centre of the nose can narrow it, and also adds a flattering glow to the makeup. Applying highlighter to the centre of the forehead between the brows and also on the centre of the chin helps elongate the face. For example, a touch of highlighter placed on top of the cheekbones will bring them out. DON’T: Use any highlighter product on very dry skin as it makes the skin appear even drier and flaky. If you have acne or enlarged pores, avoid highlighting as they will be more noticeable. /AestheticsandBeauty

FAKE PERFECT SELFIE SKIN

Selfies require clever use of contouring and highlighting, as the contrast of light and dark shadows affect the tone and shade of the makeup. Symmetry is actually what makes a face beautiful and more photogenic. Dark or matte products absorb light, creating a shadow and giving the illusion of something receding whereas highlighting products reflect light, giving an illusion of prominence to make features look more eyecatching. High definition makeup products would be most suitable for camera. Pairing the look with a bright and bold lipstick shade would make the look super polished and celebrity-like. So, let your hair down and get the camera rolling!

RADIANT WEDDING

MAKEUP LOOKS

FOR EVERY BRIDE

our wedding day is one of the most important occasions in your life, and planning your bridal makeup looks together with your wedding gown and accessories are part of the fun and happiness in this joyous occasion.

“heavy” makeup on her wedding day. It is safer to go for a more “classic” look as wedding photographs will be displayed for decades to come. A makeup look that requires too much highlighting and contouring ala the Kim Kardashian look may come across as excessively harsh. A bride should reflect a soft vibrant beauty that is timeless, modern and relevant.

As the bride, you are the star of your wedding and will be the most photographed person at the event. Memories of this special day will live on in many photographs and videos taken during your wedding.

Bridal makeup artists love using cream foundation as they provide coverage, are long lasting and conceal skin imperfections. A thin layer of makeup primer applied just before foundation will help to create that movie star dewy skin.

To look your best, you should prepare ahead and avoid common makeup mishaps. A bride should look like herself - at her most beautiful, yet her makeup should be extraordinary on this special occasion. Do not make the mistake of going for a too natural and minimalist look. Bridal makeup needs to have sufficient colour in order for the bride not to look “washed out” against her white wedding gown. Extremely neutral colours like gentle browns and pale/nude lipstick colours may turn up looking flat and nondescript in photographs. The desired effect is to use enough colour to make the bride look radiant, glowing, vibrant and beautiful on her wedding day and in her wedding photographs. On the other hand, one should also try not to go for makeup trends or use too

BY ANGIE SOON OF COSMOPROF ACADEMY

AESTHETICS & BEAUTY SINGAPORE

Don’t forget to pair your makeup with your choice of bridal hairstyle. Are you wearing it down or upswept? Loose cascading curls, pin straight or styled with waves? Have fun trying out hairstyles with different hair accessories such as crystal clips, tiaras, fresh flowers, pearls and lace. The choices are endless! Some popular bridal makeup looks include: THE ALL NATURAL BARE FACED BEAUTY: This look reflects the bride’s beautiful glowing skin and eyes. The makeup is light and fresh with a focus on the bride’s natural beauty. You can enhance this look by adding a subtle cream shimmer on top of the apples of your cheekbones. Blend well and you will have the most incredible healthy, happy, natural barefaced look.

THE SWEET AND SEXY SMOKY EYE: The emphasis of this look is on the smoky eye changed up for bridal makeup. Instead of heavy black eyeliner, you can use shades like dark greys to create that soft smoky eye look. Finish it up with natural looking false eyelashes and maybe a light pinkish red lipstick with lip gloss for a classic sexy but sweet look. BRIGHT EYES Create the feel of the sixties French Rivera ala Brigitte Bardot with this makeup. A subtle flick at the eye’s outer corner end will create a sexy cat eye effect. Pair it with a rosy blush and rosy hued lipstick for a playful and cute look. Perfect for a beach wedding! THE GLAMOUROUS BRIDE The glamourous bride aims to make a big impact. The hallmark of the glamourous bride is the siren red lipstick and strong eye makeup. To prevent the look from going over the top, choose muted eyeshadow colours that will balance out the siren lips.

nspired by her love of the French sensibility of “boudoir,” Jordana Woodland’s luxury lifestyle brand, Naked Princess, curates timeless loungewear and lingerie alongside custom-formulated beauty products – which count celebrities like Lady Gaga and Mindy Kaling as fans. We catch up with the busy entrepreneur to find out more:

WHY DID YOU START NAKED PRINCESS? I fell in love with the “art of dressing” and the idea of every woman having her own boudoir, at a very young age. Watching my mother get ready every morning instilled in me that starting your day by taking care of yourself is probably the most empowering ritual for women. Every woman deserves that special moment in her day when she feels connected to herself, with no interruptions, just quiet time to lay out what her day looks like and how she is going to dress for it. I believe it sets the right tone for her day. I’ve found so much satisfaction in building and defining what I call the “boudoir experience.” In 2009, I decided it was time for a fresh and modern take on this feminine timeless tradition…that’s how Naked Princess was born.

HOW DOES NAKED PRINCESS EMPOWER WOMEN?

FASHION INSIDER 30

AESTHETICS & BEAUTY SINGAPORE

In today’s busy world, women take less and less time for themselves, especially working women or full time moms. As a company, we want women to realise that they should not take themselves for granted. The “boudoir” lifestyle is all about finding that place and time where you can fully embrace and feel your most confident and beautiful, while surrounding yourself with people and things that help support this idea.

Empower Your Beauty.

Some of our bestsellers are our Naked Shine Lip Gloss, Body & Boudoir Candles and our newest addition Ultra Shine.

NAKED PRINCESS HAS GARNERED QUITE A STRONG FOLLOWING, INCLUDING LADY GAGA WHO WAS SPOTTED PURCHASING YOUR LOUNGEWEAR. WHAT IS THE SECRET TO YOUR SUCCESS? We understand that a woman’s tastes and desires are constantly evolving - therefore we make sure that we evolve with her. We’re always looking ahead, designing and curating pieces with “her” in mind. That’s the secret I think, which is to always have your customer in mind and never give her less than what she deserves.

WHO IS THE QUINTESSENTIAL NAKED PRINCESS CUSTOMER? The stylish and confident woman who understands the importance of taking time for herself and takes pleasure in the details. Also, the men who want the special women in their lives to have the very best.

WE’VE SEEN YOU WEAR LOTS OF DIFFERENT AND DRAMATIC LOOKS ON SCREEN AND IN PUBLICATIONS. ARE THERE ANY MAKEUP / BEAUTY SECRETS THAT YOU CAN SHARE WITH US? I would say always be open to adapting the looks! The trend in its pure form may look daunting or maybe not work for you when done wholesale, but try and play around with it! Experiment, be prepared to get it wrong a few times, but you could totally surprise yourself!

HOW DO YOU PAMPER YOURSELF WHEN YOU’RE NOT WORKING? SLEEP. And YouTube videos. I love TED talks and cute animal videos. And facial masks. I love Japanese food and have recently developed an insatiable craving for uni!

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE K-POP WAVE? I am quite in awe of what they’ve done. I remember growing up there were no mainstream Asian beauty trends, just Western ones, on faces that had features completely different to mine. So to suddenly have a look in mainstream media that I could relate to, it’s pretty awesome! On top of that, their beauty trends and fashion are much more adaptable to Asian faces. Woohoo!

WHAT ARE SOME BEAUTY TRENDS YOU PLAN TO TRY IN THE COMING MONTHS? Berry lips, nude eyes, strong brows!

WHEN DO YOU FEEL THE MOST BEAUTIFUL? When I feel at peace with myself. /AestheticsandBeauty

A NOSE FOR

PERFECTION PHOTO FROM: PINTEREST.COM

HIKO Nose Lifting lets you design the nose of your dreams.

“HIKO” COMES FROM THE WORD “HI” IN KOREAN MEANING “HIGH” AND “KO” MEANING ”NOSE”. Therefore, the term “Hiko” literally means “to lift the nose”. HIKO Nose Lifting allows you to design the shape and profile of the nose that is most suitable for you. We find out more from Dr Needle at E Medical Centre.

AESTHETICS & BEAUTY SINGAPORE

WHAT IS HIKO NOSE LIFTING? HIKO Nose Lifting is a minimally invasive solution to enhance your appearance to a perfect dimension. It is an advanced technology where fine absorbable threads called polydioxanone (PDO) are used to gently lift the nose to a desired level. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HIKO, RHINOPLASTY NOSE SURGERY AND NOSE FILLERS? Everyone wants to have the best of both worlds. When you go under the knife for rhinoplasty, you suffer tremendous pain and swelling after the surgery, yet cannot be sure of how your nose will turn out as you are put to sleep. During the HIKO nose lifting, you are able to see how we design the shape and the profile of your nose because you are conscious the whole time. This procedure also lasts longer compared to fillers, and it does not “spread” like dermal fillers. We all want a sharper nose bridge, not a broad nose bridge. HIKO will give you a sharp and straight nose bridge. HOW IS THE PROCEDURE DONE? During the procedure, the PDO threads anchor to periosteum or fibrous membrane to gather the underlying tissues and secure them in the desired position. After the thread dissolves, not only does the holding effect remains, but the natural collagen production is also stimulated. HIKO Nose Lifting takes only about 30 minutes and can be performed under local anesthesia on a specific spot. It’s a minimally invasive option that could add natural dimension to your face and bring your nose to its perfection. Patients can go back to work after the treatment since there is none or minimal bruising.

/AestheticsandBeauty

@Aestheticsbeaut

@aestheticsandbeauty

HOW LONG IS THE PROCEDURE? The entire procedure is about 45 minutes. AM I A SUITABLE CANDIDATE? The procedure is suitable for anyone who has not gone for rhinoplasty. Even for those who have fillers injected previously but dislike their broadened nose. HOW LONG CAN IT LAST? The results usually last for 1-2 years depending on individual. Repeated treatments will achieve better results. IS IT PAINFUL? Anesthetic cream is applied on the treatment area prior to the procedure. A local anesthesia (LA) will be given as well. After the LA, you will feel almost nothing. IS THERE ANY DOWNTIME? There is minimal downtime. Some of the patients may encounter bruising or slight swelling. Most of our patients go back to work the next day after the procedure or even right after the procedure.

RED CARPET TRICKS

Have a major event coming up or just want to look your best? These treatments will make you red-carpet ready!

Unlike lasers and radio-frequency, which penetrate the skin from the outside-in, Ultherapy works from the inside-out to lift and tighten skin non- invasively. Ultherapy bypasses the surface of the skin, delivering focused ultrasound energy at depths of up to 4.5mm - to the same foundational layer typically addressed in a surgical facelift. The skin’s response to this energy is to stimulate the growth of fresh, new collagen and elastin. Results reveal a lifting and tightening of the skin over 2-3 months, back into a more youthful and form-fitting position. Improvements can continue for up to 6 months and have been reported to last more than a year following the procedure. COOLSCULPTING The CoolSculpting procedure is the only FDA-cleared, non-surgical fat reduction treatment that uses controlled cooling to eliminate stubborn fat that resists all efforts through diet and , exercise. The results are proven, noticeable, and lasting, so you ll look great from every angle. The idea that cold can selectively affect fat led to the innovative cooling process developed by scientists at the Wellman Center for Photomedicine at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, a teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School. CoolSculpting technology safely delivers precisely controlled cooling to gently and effectively target the fat cells underneath the skin. The treated fat cells are crystallized (frozen), then die. Over time, your body naturally processes the fat and eliminates these dead cells, leaving a more sculpted you. After you and your physician select the area(s) to be treated, the device is positioned on your body and controlled cooling is applied. During your procedure, feel free to read, check email, or even take a nap. You can reduce fat on multiple areas of your body with the CoolSculpting procedure, and additional sessions may further enhance your results. Your provider will help you create an individualised treatment plan tailored just for you. For more information, go to neoasia.com.sg

ULTHERAPY As we age, the collagen in our skin weakens and elastin starts to break down, causing skin to become more lax. A good Ultherapy candidate is someone whose skin has “relaxed” to the point of looking, or feeling, less firm. A lowered brow line, loose skin on the neck, or wrinkles on the décolleté are all signs of skin laxity.

Bestsellers PEEL & WHITE

Sun-damaged skin and ageing skin can be marked by small and larger keratinizations, rough skin folds, hyperpigmentation and age-related skin appearances. A gentle and broad method to smooth and regenerate photo-damaged and ageing skin is achieved through the use of AHA products. By applying skincare cosmeceutical with non-drying fruit acid the epidermis can regenerate faster and its structure is improved.

AHA CREAM Light cream with fruit acids for an optimum complexion and additional moisture supply. It removes dead skin cells to refine the skin’s appearance, makes oily skin matte, improves skin hydration with in-depth action, evens out skin tone, improves skin elasticity, minimises wrinkles and activates cell division.

BRIGHT CREAM WITH SPF The silky cream contains the potent yet skinfriendly kojic acid and stabilised vitamin C. These act right at the source of melanin production. Both contain Imperata Cylindrica Root Extract - extracts from the Japanese blood grass, grass pollen to provide moisture supply into the deeper skin layers and osmotic regulators for the cell.

SPECIALS The skin is exposed to an increasing overload of irritations caused by influences such as summer smog, environmental damage, un- healthy lifestyles or the increasing UV radiation.

I START OFF MY ULTIMATE AUTUMN RESTORATION TREATMENT with a communal onsen bath. Touted as Singapore’s first onsen-style public bathhouse, this bath is enriched with precious natural mineral oils to boost microcirculation, flush out toxins and moisturise the skin. The water is hot and I gingerly submerge my body slowly, but once I am fully immersed, my entire body relaxes completely and I pretend to be in wintery Hokkaido as I admire the realistic drawings of snow-encrusted scenery around me. After working up a good sweat in the hot onsen for 30 minutes, I am deemed suitably relaxed and ready for my next treatment, the Nuka Hot Compress. Comprising of a blend of Japanese rice bran, black sesame and aromatic herbs rich in natural essential oils, this hot compress massage is purported to ease tensed muscles, relieve pain and soothe the body. The rice bran is said to encourage collagen regeneration, while protecting the skin from free radical damage with vitamin E and ferulic acid. It also effectively exfoliates dead skin cells for luminous skin, and improves energy flow for top-to-toe holistic healing.

Valid for firsttime customers only, she slathers oil on my back other T&C applies. and performs soothing massage strokes. She is strong and her fingers found sore muscles that I didn’t even know exist. I even cringed at some tender spots at my neck and I have a high pain threshold! I had requested for medium pressure, so if you have a low pain threshold, ask for light pressure and work your way up. The heat from the hot compress further relaxes my tense muscles and it was a struggle to keep awake. When I left the spa, I was groggy and all ready for bed.

AESTHETICS & BEAUTY SINGAPORE

iving in a concrete jungle like Singapore with deadlines and to-do lists aplenty, a resort like The Datai in Langkawi may be exactly what the doctor ordered for your frazzled soul. Nestled in 10 million-year-old rainforest and overlooking the Datai Bay, awarded by National Geographic as one of the top 10 beaches in the world, the location of The Datai is a balm for weary, computer-strained eyes. For a nature lover like me, this was my idea of heaven on earth. The 21-year-old resort boasts old world charm with traditional Malay architecture that blends luxe with rustic expertly. My villa reminded me of a high-end kampung complete with modern amenities like an iPod filled with a diverse choice of music and high-speed Internet Wi-fi. I chose to avoid all electronics and opted to watch a family of Dusky Leaf monkeys feeding outside my balcony and let myself be lulled to sleep every night by the calming sounds of nature instead. The icing on the cake for me was the nature walk with renowned naturalist, Irshad Morborak. His stories of love, sex, conflict and tragedy in the animal and plant kingdom can rival any Korean drama. He also covered Darwinism, parasitism, mutualism, commensalism, ecosim and evolution during his 90-minute walk, and I could feel my IQ increasing as he spoke. I was not the only fan and he had many other “fans” amongst my group – some who return year after year to “walk” with him. There is also a marine biologist onsite who will take guests on beach walks. If you prefer the sea, you must take a sunset cruise on the magnificent Naga Pelangi, a traditional 97-feet junk schooner and enjoy the wind in your hair on the Andaman /AestheticsandBeauty

Sea. I was privileged to play my virgin golf game at The Els Club Teluk Datai, awarded the “World’s Best New Golf Course” by Golf Awards, which is a short five minute drive away. No trip is complete without a visit to the spa and The Datai Spa specialises in traditional Malay treatments using native ingredients. Their signature treatment, Tungku Batu, which means “heart of stone” – is an ancient heated stone treatment used by Malay healers to reduce pain and increase blood circulation. Meals were a culinary delight: Apart from the usual breakfast spread of international cuisine, there was roti cannai station, with fluffy and crispy flatbread made on the spot and served piping hot. I enjoyed an innovative fusion Western dinner at The Dining Room with dishes like an Asian lobster salad and foie gras chawanmushi. For traditional Malay fare, The Gulai House, set amidst the forest - complete with Silat performance, made for an entertaining night. The Pavilion, another dining spot, offered exquisite Thai fare and you may even get to dine with their resident monkeys if you’re lucky! The Datai truly checks all the boxes for a wonderful holiday - nature, great food, stellar service and wonderful new experiences. No wonder they have a “Returnist” club - guests who return year after year, some even made friends at the resort and arrange to meet each other yearly! I left the resort being more present and with a deeper awareness and understanding of what’s around me. Let’s hope this feeling stays with me for as long as possible!
