You might already have booked your manicure and facial sessions in time for Chinese New Year, and shopped for new clothes as well. Now, it’s time to top it all off with the right skincare and beauty products that will have you looking perfectly groomed.
Be it a quick beauty fix, a long-lasting manicure, or finding the right shade of lipstick, get started on your beauty prep with these tips:
Start With a Detox
Want radiant skin from inside out? Then you might want to do a body detox before anything else, be it a day at a detox spa or a juice cleanse. Once your skin has been reset on the inside, you can start nourishing it on the outside.
Get Glowing Skin
Ah, the coveted glowing skin. That doesn’t have to be a unattainable goal if you keep at your skincare routine diligently. Nourish your skin — especially at night, when it repairs itself most efficiently — and wake up with clearer, more radiant skin!
Fight Dark Circles
You don’t want to look like Death on Chinese New Year, so make sure you take care of those dark circles instead of laying on the concealer. Eye serums that nourish and hydrate help to revive the dull dead skin around our eyes caused by too much staring at screens and too little sleep.
Find Your Lucky Shade of Lipstick
We all know red is the auspicious shade for Chinese New Year, but you can also have fun with variations of the shade. Tangerine makes a bright alternative if red is too siren-y for you, while a muted rose shade or berry tone works for dinner parties.
Stay Refreshed On the Go
Back-to-back family and friend gatherings can be tiring, and chances are your makeup will melt off by midday. Keep your skin refreshed all day by spritzing on a hydrating mist.
Get a Long-Lasting Manicure
Who has time to worry about chipped manicure amidst all that house visiting? Get a lasting varnish for your digits that you won’t have to fret about when cracking those sunflower seeds!
