Make up

Astro Wah Lai Toi is now showing a TVB drama called “Yin Jie Sui Fun” (The Charm Beneath). It’s a story about the Chuk Family’s managing the cosmetics business.

Why do cosmetic giants spent millions of dollars in hiring spokesperson and come out with different products every season? We always said that natural beauty is God’s gift but then again why do we always stop our track in front of those cosmetic counters? Women already start using make up long long time ago. Every woman will wear make up at least once in her lifetime (usually at her wedding day). Because deep down in our hearts we always think that we can be the most beautiful.


On the way home the other day, a pretty lady was standing by my side in the LRT. I was actually admiring her face with the perfect eyebrows, long lashes and high nose but that’s before I noticed her fingernails! Her ruby red nail polish that she applied has all gone and left a small patch in the middle for all 10 fingers! How can she not notice it or she just can’t be bother? At least remove the old coat and apply a new one!


Why do you need a pair of smokey eyes when you will end up looking like a panda? Just because its the trend now? Find out how to make your eyes sparkle by applying some nice eye shadows or get enough sleep so that you don't have any eye bags compliments of those late nights.


Why put on concealer when your face is like a kaffir lime or covered with acne? This will only worsen the situation and makes your face looks like a 3-inch icing on top of a cake!!! Get a treatment to clear all the acne or try to improve the face situation before you even consider any foundation. Drink more water. Wash the face with a good cleanser and not soap!


Do not put on lipsticks when you have chapped or dry lips? It’s so ugly when the colour of lipstick apply on top of all the dead skin. Lips should always be in a healthy condition meaning no dead skin all over the lips! Apply a good lip balm every night before going to bed and exfoliate them with a toothbrush when you brush your teeth. Invest in a good lipstick. Again apply a coat of lip balm before applying the lipstick as this can protect the lips not to absorb the colour directly.


I've a tip to share ... I don’t use any make up remover for the lips but instead pour some warm water on a piece of tissue and wipe it off. Works like magic and will keep your lips smooth and kissable even without lipstick!

Remember to trim your eyebrows. It'll make every woman to look neat even if you don't like wearing make up. But please don't shave off the eyebrows and draw a line across! This is the biggest humiliation you ever done to your face. Forget about the fake lashes ... unless you intend to participate in the next beauty pageant!

Take care of our face. Smile often. Have a good heart. Be clean and dress neatly. Be beautiful inside out. Don't do it for anyone. Do it for ourselves. Lets work together.

God Bless.
