Makeup Artists in Singapore and their Favourite Products

Makeup artists know their stuff. Especially when it comes to beauty products that are a must buy! We spoke to a few leading ladies in the industry to find out which singular product made it to their list of favourites.

1. Bubbly J

Bubbly ventured into the world of beauty at the young age of 17 and has since worked with some of the biggest names in the cosmetics industry. A civil and structural engineering graduate (yes really!), she decided to turn her passion for creativity into a business and started Looks Studio. If that wasn’t enough, Bubbly also runs her own fashion label, Opium by Bubbly J, which houses clothes that are Indian by design but with a European flair. She plays with colours, fabrics and intricate detailing and creates timeless pieces effortlessly. 

What is your favourite makeup product and why?

Our eyes are literally the window to our world! My favourite product is the Diorshow Iconic Mascara because it takes my lashes to new lengths and I don't have to use a curler!

What is your favourite makeup product and why?

My favourite product? Has to be the Benefit Concealer Cream. The texture of this cream and the resulting coverage is just perfect. It can also be used for eyes and to correct red spots very easily.

4.  Shradha Agarwal

Originally from India, Shradha specializes in Celebrity, Fashion, Commercial and Bridal make up.

In her free time she likes to spend time with her family and review new makeup and hair products. 

What is your favourite makeup product and why?

It's very difficult to choose just one product but if I have to then it's going to be my Temptu Airbrush makeup system with patented airpod technology. This revolutionary system is an all-in-one tool that is designed to achieve a naturally radiant, soft-focus glow . It does the work of a multitude of brushes, creating great coverage which blends in seamlessly on the surface of the skin.

5. Stella Tay Leung

She graduated from London College of Fashion with a Diploma in Professional Makeup Artistry and Image Styling for Stage Performance. With 17 years of experience, Stella has worked for makeup industry icons such as MAC, T-LeClerc and Christian Dior. She currently teaches makeup artistry courses on a regular basis and helps her personal clients become their own makeup experts and enhance their individual style. 

What is your favourite makeup product and why?

My favourite makeup product is A combination of the Mist and Fix Setting Spray from MakeUp For Ever and Blot Powder from MAC. As a professional makeup artist in Singapore, the most challenging part is to make makeup last in all this humidity. So, at the end of every make up session (whether on myself or for a client), I spray one layer of Mist and Fix, and also apply a touch of blot powder to set it all in.
