Beauty Must-Haves Before Fashion Week

Starting this Wednesday to Sunday (12th – 16th August), the talk of town will be KLFW (Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week). Though I won’t be attending all the shows, I will still go to a few popular ones which I will let you know this week. You can follow me on my Snapchat (stilettoesdiva) and I will take you backstage and also share some gorgeous pieces off the runway with you instantaneously =)

Prior to the crazy days and wearing loads of makeup on for the whole day, I need to prep my skin so it won’t (crossing my fingers) breakout. I strongly believe in keeping my skin superbly hydrated. Eye cream is the very first thing I would apply for day and night. My current travel favorite is Ole Henriksen Ultimate Lift Eye Crème. After that, I dabbed my skin with L’Oreal Hydra Fresh Spa Water (new packaging). It looked thick but it absorbed very quickly on my skin. My daily dose of serums (I swear by it) are Estee Lauder’s Advanced Night Repair and Decleor’s Energising Gel. They both helped my skin to hydrate and keep redness away.

For 3 times a week, I used La Mer’s The Concentrate. They’re a little on the pricier side but it helped calm my skin and lightens my acne scars.  For the whole week, I’ve been keeping my skin hydrated with Sulwhasoo Overnight Vitalizing Mask at night and La Mer’s Moisturising Gel Cream in the day. Last but not least, my lips shouldn’t be abandoned too. Chapped lips are not comfortable and it’s not easy to fix it last minute when applying lipstick. To protect my lips, I use L’Occitane’s Moisturising Lip Balm.

By Wednesday, I’m sure my skin will be well prepared for any makeup! Don’t forget to follow me on Snapchat (stilettoesdiva) or Instagram (stilettoesdiva) for my latest runway and backstage updates =)
