Bewitching Beauty
Both expressions of art—we celebrate the mastery of fine jewellery and make-up. Drawing inspiration from the intricacies and rarities of these fine jewels, celebrity make-up artists Cat Yong and Sheng Saw express their visions through the artistry of make-up. ONE OF A KIND
This timeless Square Emerald Cut Diamond ring by Tiffany & Co. is an enormous, near colourless 16.55 carat—a true rarity. Paying tribute to the signature Tiffany Blue colour, this is where Cat draws her inspiration. She expertly blends the brilliant blue shade across the whole lid, elaborately bringing the colour all the way up to the brow bone. Adding a touch of sparkle, she amplifies the water line with a swipe of shimmery glitter to mimic the effect of the diamond caught in light. Tiffany & Co.

SERPENT WHISPERER
Elegance and extravagance on full display, the riveting Bvlgari Serpenti necklace has an undenying allure we just can’t resist. Sheng lets the skin do most of the talking—keeping the complexion radiant and luminous to reflect the grandeur of the pavé diamonds. The dangling sapphires inspire the placement of the brazen deep blue colour on the lower lash line—also mimicking the piercing sapphires set in the eyes of the serpent.

FEMININITY REDEFINED
Bold and fluid, the Liane necklace is a river of braided gold which features a combination of bold stones, bringing light to the twists and turns of the Liane creation. Sheng uses a classic—the MAC Cosmetics Retro Matte Lipstick in Smoked Purple— which deep violet colour beautifully emulates the touch of amethyst found at the crown and tassels of this masterpiece. He then further explores the play of colours with faint coats of blue mascara to pay homage to the eye-catching turquoise detailing. Van Cleef and Arpels Liane long necklace, price upon request.
VIRESCENT TEMPTATION
The Galanterie de Cartier ring is a tantalising seductive piece with interlacing curves that play with light and shadow—brilliant-cut diamonds and black lacquer house a ravishing square-shaped emerald. Taking out the ever so colourful NORVINA® Pro Pigment Palette Vol. 3 by Anastasia Beverly Hills from her kit, Cat blends together a flawless shade of green to match the vivacious emerald at the heart of the ring. The 2.83-carat stone is the largest influencer of the make-up look—we almost can’t help but to be hypnotised. Cartier Galanterie de Cartier ring, price upon request.
