A palette, a brush, a canvas. Makeup and art speak the same language, just in different hands. This month GRAZIA Singapore’s most-wanted beauty picks embrace the artistry of makeup. Eyes are brushed with strokes of vivid pigment, cheeks pick up the flush from quick sketches of light-tone pinks, and balms swept atop lips like the final touches of a painted masterpiece. Draw outside the lines—and be glad that you did.
