5 makeup and skin care tips from beauty influencer Sahur Saleim
Good skin makes makeup a lot easier
"There's a drastic difference between my makeup routine now versus a couple of years ago when I was dealing with really bad acne. I felt like I was limited to using full-coverage products. As my skin cleared, a whole new realm of products opened up for me. It really simplified my makeup routine."
Setting powder is essential
“Especially in Singapore’s heat and humidity! My favourites are Givenchy Prisme Libre (for dry skin) and Huda Beauty Easy Bake (for oily skin.”
Do your skincare immediately after you take your mask off
“Thoroughly cleanse and moisturise your face whenever you take your mask off. And you should change your face masks every few hours,
as repeatedly breathing under the same mask for the whole day can cause germs to get stuck under it and irritate the skin.”
Dealing with chapped lips doesn't have to cost a bomb
"Derma Lab’s lip balm is a life changer for dry lips. It’s less than $6 at drugstores and saved my lips the whole time when I was on Accutane.”
Always try foundations before you buy
“Use a website like Temptalia’s foundation matrix to ballpark which shades would work for you based on previous matches. When you arrive at the store, the staff can help you to shade match on your forehead (because new normal). Step out into the sunlight to see the true match before committing to the purchase.”
