BODY POSITIVE ADVOCATE, MAKEUP ARTIST AND
HER WORLD TRIBE MEMBER BEAUTY MISHAP “When I was younger, I would always apply concealers that were too light/ bright for my skin tone, and always wondered why I looked so funny on camera. And sadly, no one told me about it.”
9. CHARMAINE YEE
RADIO PRESENTER
AND HER WORLD TRIBE MEMBER BEAUTY HACK “The anti-bloater in one minute! If you have no time to gua sha your face and you’re bloated, rolling a piece of ice all over your face does the trick. Massage gently with a warm towel after.”
10. SHEILA SIM

11. PRISCILLA SHUNMUGAM
FASHION DESIGNER AND FOUNDER OF ONG SHUNMUGAM BEAUTY HACK “Too much salt causes puffiness in the eyes or face. If you’ve had a super salty or MSG-laden meal, have one or two bananas before going to bed. The potassium will help balance everything out in the morning.”

TRIBE MEMBER

13. LETTY SEAH
HER WORLD
ASSOCIATE BEAUTY EDITOR BEAUTY MISHAP “Filling in my brows with a ruler to achieve straight brows! Lesson learnt: Don’t follow trends when it comes to your brows. Work with what you’ve got, not against it.”
