It doesn’t make sense to have a wardrobe full of clothes you don’t wear and drawers full of makeup that’s never used. But most of us are guilty of both. Well, I definitely am! I had quite a clear-out recently and it’s amazing how good decluttering and throwing out old makeup makes you feel. I’m also thinking it may be time for a makeover! Working out how to use your leftover clothes, if you can make use of recycled clothes rather than buying new, and what else you need for a practical wardrobe is much easier with a personal shopper or stylist. And getting advice from makeup artists in Singapore on new makeup products and techniques (the natural makeup look is in) will make you feel like a new woman. Or even a new man!
Keen to know about some of the makeover gurus here? Read on!

To offer clients a holistic, elevated experience that brings clarity, ease and who they are on the inside to life so that they feel “not only well-dressed, but confident, aligned and genuinely supported in every part of your life.”
Makeover 2026 – a tip from Jennifer
For those wanting to up their style game in 2026, Jennifer’s got one simple tip: look within! “Take a moment to reflect on who you are right now and how you want to be seen. Your lifestyle, routines and mindset should shape your personal style, not the other way around.” After that, recycle, tailor, resell or donate clothes that doesn’t work for you and invest in silhouettes and colours that flatter you, and more importantly, make you feel good.
“Confidence comes from feeling aligned, supported and balanced. An empowered look always begins with an empowered you,” says Jennifer. We couldn’t agree more!

Makeup trends to look out for
Makeup should be fun! It should also be something you look forward to using often. And each one of us loves finding the right products and simpler, less time-consuming techniques to apply them.
FALAK AMAAR KHAN is a makeup artist now based in Dubai. She talks us through the trends – and how to own them “effortlessly”!
Shimmer
Soft, shimmery shadows and graphic coloured liners (best for hooded eyes) are going to rock the makeup scene in the new year.
Swipe some shimmer on those lids using the Ethereal Eyes Eyeshadow Palette from Makeup by Mario. And create a more open space on your eyes using the Fenty Beauty Flypencil Longwear Eyeliner in your favourite shade.
Natural makeup look
Skin-minimalism is the way to go, which means barely there foundation. But don’t fret! You can look flawless with a natural makeup look too. Working with thin layers of products, a lightweight dewy setting spray and a good translucent powder to set the creams in place in sunny Singapore is key to that fresh, flawless complexion.
Make Up For Ever HD Skin Foundation, Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder and Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray are my top recommendations for this look.
Versatility
Multi-use products for cheeks and lips will be carried into the new year for a draped or sun-kissed blush application (depending on your face shape and preference) and adding a dab of colour to the lips keeping the look monochromatic and subtle.
Stila Complete Harmony Lip & Cheek Stick comes in a beautiful array of shades.
Lips from mild to bold
Lips will be more or less your call! From the Korean lip tint to a full, bold glazed lip, anything to brighten your mood will do. Mattes however, won’t be major this year.
Maybelline Superstay Vinyl Ink Lipstick is a hot favourite for those who want colour longevity as well as a glossy finish. For those who prefer to keep it milder, Amplio Beauty Lipluscious Gloss is subtly pigmented with a comfortable finish.

Hiring a makeup artist in Singapore
If you’re looking for a makeover for a special occasion, FIONA BENNETT is the go-to makeup artist in Singapore. Fiona’s Instagram account showcases countless celebrity faces and shows how she creates these gorgeous natural makeup looks. Her signature style is flawless skin and contouring the face to make it appear lifted and youthful. She also uses warm bronze tones to create that “just back from Europe” glow.
Several years ago, Fiona decided to follow her passion in hair and makeup. So she honed her skills at a respected makeup artistry school. After only a short number of years, she has quickly risen to become an industry favourite makeup artist in Singapore, partnering with television presenters, musicians, actors and magazines. With the natural makeup look in vogue “I love skin to look natural and luminous,” she says. “And I want to accentuate my client’s natural beauty.” As a true beauty and makeup buff, Fiona has carefully curated her favourite brands, products and tools in her hair and makeup kit.
What Fiona loves about her job
Weddings are one of the most satisfying aspects of her job. “It gives me so much pleasure to be part of their big day. When I’m told its the most beautiful they have ever felt, it’s very rewarding”. It begins months ahead of the wedding at the trial, when Fiona creates mood boards and experiments with colours and looks with the bride-to-be. Sharing that trust and vision will put any bride’s nervousness at ease!
Fiona’s golden rule when working with any client is to be a good listener and pay attention to the brief at hand. She’ll make sure you feel confident to dance the night away till the early hours of the morning looking picture perfect.
