Best Beauty Buys 2023: Foundation And Face Products

Our favourite foundations, concealers and blushes to perfect your makeup look even on those busy, hectic days

by Ho Guo Xiong  /   January 21, 2023

Best Beauty Buys is The Singapore Women’s Weekly’s annual round up of the best and most effective products currently on the shelves. This year, we spotlight the skincare and makeup needs of busy mums who juggle children and demanding jobs who want to look and feel good doing it. The products were road-tested by a group of such multi-tasking women, and these are their picks.

Now that we’ve perfected our skincare routine with the best tried-and-true products, it is time to focus on makeup. While having great skincare is half the battle won, there are days where we need a little pick-me-up that only makeup can offer. Foundations, for example, help to even out the complexion while concealers help to cover up signs of sleepless nights to help us look our best at the competitive workplace. And then there are blushes to help us add back live and colour to our complexion.
