Hot, summer weather demands for colour. Whether it is in the form of punchy neons or soft pastels, these shades have been seen on the runway. Chloé‘s and Versace‘s spring/summer 2022 runways were accented with electric hues while Paul & Joe and Tanya Taylor opted for a softer, more romantic vibe. And since Singapore has a tropical climate, these neon and pastel makeup will be of great use all year-round. Go on, add some colour to your life.
