We are here to dare you to step out of your comfort zone and try something new!

#LODareU 1: Red Lips & Fresh Skin

Red lipstick is always a classic and it is making a major comeback. With a hint of red on your lips, you can feel like you can conquer the world. Although deep red lips and flawless skin go hand in hand, it's the light makeup that's trending this year.
Tips: Please moisturise the skin thoroughly before applying foundation. For lips, it's important to line your lips as precisely as possible, so always line your lips using a foundation that's a little darker than your skin tone.

#LODareU 2: Peachy Cheeks

A lot of women in Asia are currently obsessed with pastel tones like pink and lilac. So blush shades will be more in vogue than in previous years.
In fact, many are experimenting with soft peachy-toned makeup, where they prefer to create a natural blush by highlighting the cheeks with a striking colour.
Note: Use a rubber sponge to create a watercolor effect like dew.
However, if you have a darker and warmer skin tone, this trend might not be as pleasing to the eye. Try a lighter bronze shade, which is more natural and chic.

#LODareU 3: K-idol Long Lashes

A famous Korean makeup trend that has taken the throne in 2022 (hello, Lisa!) is extreme eyelash extensions, which we can see in various idol makeup in real-life and their MV productions.
This technique is created by applying mascara first, then using tweezers to clamp the lashes together. It's important to use the right mascara, preferably one with a jet-black, water-repellent formula with less lint.
Make sure you clip the lashes together before they dry. Otherwise, you could end up with clumpy, flaky lashes.

LODareU 4: Y2K Style

It's easy to see why the Y2K style is making a comeback. Think bushy brows, glowing lips and lashes, matte skin, and shimmery pastels. It's a super fun and exciting way to express yourself after a stressful pandemic, and K-pop stars have certainly pumped up the trend.
In 2022, many Korean women combine glitter on their eyes and apply light purple eyeshadow, which is this year's main color according to Pantone. Then, don't forget to complete the retro look with thin, arched brows and cold pink lips.

#LODareU 5: Lilac Lips

The trend of ripe mauve lipstick is ready to enter the beauty game to give that glowy skin a punch of sassiness.
Hotter than red, the lilac grape-like shades are here to rule 2022 like royalty and it is time for you to hop on the throne as well.
How: Pair your glowing skin with plumped up lips for a fuller look and remember to keep the colour focused on the centre of the lips without extending to the edges.
