Makeup Artist: Ng Huimin

Her go-to lipsticks:

#1: Laneige Intense Lip Gel, $36

"The colour is vibrant, and the finish is super-glossy - almost like you'd just applied gel nail polish on your lips."

Available at #B3-66A Ion Orchard (6509-8872)

#2: Kose Esprique Rouge Stay Magic (Essence Liquid), $30
