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.
The theme of the best eye creams and skincare devices round up is to target and amplify. Sure, you can apply your facial moisturisers under the eyes to give the delicate undereye area some nourishment and use your fingers to cleanse your face with. But since there are products that have been specifically created and innovated to give you targeted results for your skincare needs, why not use them?
