My signature make-up style is... using natural shades such as earth tones and bronzers, whether it is to create a natural, healthy look or smoky eyes.

My greatest achievement is... being able to travel to Paris with a client from Singapore as her personal make-up artist when she attends fashion shows there. I’ve been there with her about three times and I feel that it is a recognition of my strengths as a make-up artist that she would pick me to travel with her.

My three beauty faves are...

  • Shu Uemura UV Underbase Mousse, $75, a make-up base that balances out uneven skin tones and gives make-up longer staying power. It can also be used to freshen up existing make-up.
  • Cle de Peau Beaute concealer, $116, which glides onto the skin for great coverage without caking up.
  • Dr Georgia Lee Sensitive Skin Pressed Powder SPF20/PA++, $88, which gives you a radiant glow and will not clog pores, making it suitable for sensitive skin.
