And I 20 00:00:49,889 --> 00:00:52,549 Speaker 1: know you're trying to take on Oh my God, I am. 21 00:00:53,270 --> 00:00:53,900 Speaker 2: Are you also 22 00:00:53,909 --> 00:00:55,970 Speaker 1: you also? Yes, I'm sure. But I didn't go for 23 00:00:55,979 --> 00:00:56,790 Speaker 1: her latest concert. 24 00:00:56,799 --> 00:00:59,380 Speaker 2: It's OK. Next time she'll come again. Yeah. 25 00:00:59,779 --> 00:01:01,979 Speaker 1: Yes. So today I just want to pick your brain 26 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 1: on the fact that all of us are chasing beauty 27 00:01:05,089 --> 00:01:08,129 Speaker 1: trends today because it is so readily available to us. 28 00:01:08,500 --> 00:01:10,569 Speaker 1: And Tik Tok, social media, Xiao Hong Shu has made 29 00:01:10,580 --> 00:01:13,809 Speaker 1: it easy for all of us girls to see all 30 00:01:13,819 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: these new trends and pretty things that we love. So 31 00:01:16,730 --> 00:01:19,550 Speaker 1: what do you think of chasing beauty trends in this 32 00:01:19,559 --> 00:01:20,269 Speaker 1: day and age? 33 00:01:21,550 --> 00:01:24,769 Speaker 2: Um No harm and beauty is always fun, right? Trying 34 00:01:24,779 --> 00:01:27,250 Speaker 2: out a new trend. It's exciting and everything. 35 00:01:27,610 --> 00:01:30,940 Speaker 2: I feel that there is a space for trends for sure. 36 00:01:30,949 --> 00:01:34,378 Speaker 2: But on a personal note, I realized that for myself 37 00:01:34,389 --> 00:01:37,529 Speaker 2: and my personal journey, I don't really follow trends that 38 00:01:37,540 --> 00:01:41,550 Speaker 2: much because I feel like sometimes what is trending might 39 00:01:41,559 --> 00:01:42,629 Speaker 2: not be so suitable for 40 00:01:42,714 --> 00:01:46,444 Speaker 2: myself. Yeah. So I think um similar for many people 41 00:01:46,455 --> 00:01:48,385 Speaker 2: probably like they see trends as I'm going to try 42 00:01:48,394 --> 00:01:51,455 Speaker 2: this out, but they might not really include it in 43 00:01:51,464 --> 00:01:54,934 Speaker 2: the daily beauty routine because of the same reason. Yeah. 44 00:01:54,944 --> 00:01:57,815 Speaker 2: So it's fun but don't take it too seriously 45 00:01:58,069 --> 00:01:58,949 Speaker 2: if it doesn't work for 46 00:01:58,959 --> 00:02:00,580 Speaker 1: you. Oh my God. I think that's the thing, right? 47 00:02:00,589 --> 00:02:02,779 Speaker 1: A lot of us if we are new to makeup 48 00:02:02,790 --> 00:02:04,889 Speaker 1: or if we are like just starting out learning about it, 49 00:02:04,900 --> 00:02:07,290 Speaker 1: we are very scared to buy all these new things 50 00:02:07,300 --> 00:02:10,479 Speaker 1: and then suddenly it just doesn't work. Yeah. What do 51 00:02:10,490 --> 00:02:14,449 Speaker 1: you think of that? You try like a lot of 52 00:02:14,460 --> 00:02:17,639 Speaker 1: different makeup products only to find like, oh you keep 53 00:02:17,649 --> 00:02:18,270 Speaker 1: grabbing tee 54 00:02:18,395 --> 00:02:19,535 Speaker 1: think back to that. Yes. 55 00:02:19,546 --> 00:02:22,296 Speaker 2: So like I always, I realized that for my own 56 00:02:22,305 --> 00:02:25,686 Speaker 2: personal like makeup collection, I always keep to a few 57 00:02:25,695 --> 00:02:27,755 Speaker 2: like call you. Yeah. But of course, if there is 58 00:02:27,766 --> 00:02:30,055 Speaker 2: a certain trend and it's fun, like I said, right 59 00:02:30,065 --> 00:02:32,535 Speaker 2: then if it works for me, it will be added 60 00:02:32,546 --> 00:02:35,585 Speaker 2: into the collection, but I will always have a core 61 00:02:35,595 --> 00:02:37,876 Speaker 2: few that I will always fall back on also because 62 00:02:37,886 --> 00:02:38,614 Speaker 2: it's familiar. 63 00:02:38,981 --> 00:02:40,561 Speaker 2: Yeah, for myself. Yeah. 64 00:02:40,891 --> 00:02:42,651 Speaker 1: So what are these core items that you 65 00:02:42,662 --> 00:02:46,951 Speaker 2: have? Uh I realized that I cannot live without my 66 00:02:46,962 --> 00:02:50,772 Speaker 2: mascara base. Like there is this one particular mascara based 67 00:02:50,781 --> 00:02:53,742 Speaker 2: product that I talked about before on Tik Tok. Yeah, 68 00:02:53,751 --> 00:02:55,481 Speaker 2: it's so good. Like I don't have it right now 69 00:02:55,492 --> 00:02:57,811 Speaker 2: because I have lash extensions. But uh when I don't 70 00:02:57,822 --> 00:02:58,921 Speaker 2: have them on like 71 00:02:59,529 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 2: because my lashes are really like downward. Yeah. And it's 72 00:03:02,449 --> 00:03:05,619 Speaker 2: like straight and they grow downwards also. So that is 73 00:03:05,630 --> 00:03:08,619 Speaker 2: like one thing I don't think that has ever trended. 74 00:03:08,630 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 2: I don't know why it's so so good. A few 75 00:03:11,449 --> 00:03:13,229 Speaker 1: mascara fixes that got trend. 76 00:03:13,479 --> 00:03:15,830 Speaker 2: Oh Yes, I know one, the Judy doll one. I 77 00:03:15,839 --> 00:03:18,990 Speaker 2: know the House. Oh This is a different brand. It's 78 00:03:19,085 --> 00:03:21,883 Speaker 2: is this Taiwanese brand that not everyone in Singapore know 79 00:03:21,895 --> 00:03:23,615 Speaker 2: about it, but I can send to you all and 80 00:03:23,625 --> 00:03:24,854 Speaker 2: then you can show it if you want. 81 00:03:24,865 --> 00:03:30,043 Speaker 1: Definitely. So on that note, right? So given that all 82 00:03:30,054 --> 00:03:33,383 Speaker 1: of us here are keeping track of like the beauty trends. 83 00:03:33,395 --> 00:03:36,554 Speaker 1: Do you think it has made you rook at like 84 00:03:36,565 --> 00:03:38,304 Speaker 1: the insecurities that you have? 85 00:03:39,380 --> 00:03:42,380 Speaker 1: Like, you would see this particular, like, beauty influencer and 86 00:03:42,389 --> 00:03:43,789 Speaker 1: you be like, oh my God, she's so pretty. And 87 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,050 Speaker 1: then you wonder how like you're not like that? 88 00:03:47,059 --> 00:03:50,130 Speaker 2: Hm. Ok. I, I feel like one trend that I've 89 00:03:50,139 --> 00:03:53,149 Speaker 2: been seeing lately is the trend of have, like it 90 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 2: is it is more favorable now to have a shorter face, 91 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,350 Speaker 2: like a shorter mid face. And I talk about this 92 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,300 Speaker 2: a lot on my, on my tiktok profile also. So 93 00:04:02,309 --> 00:04:03,149 Speaker 2: I have actually, I do 94 00:04:03,259 --> 00:04:05,509 Speaker 2: comments that people say, oh, like I feel so insecure 95 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 2: about my long mid face and things like that and 96 00:04:08,990 --> 00:04:11,889 Speaker 2: on a more like personal note, I mean, because my 97 00:04:11,899 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 2: face is on the shorter side. So I mean, I 98 00:04:14,610 --> 00:04:16,738 Speaker 2: am very grateful that I'm kind of like in the 99 00:04:16,750 --> 00:04:19,940 Speaker 2: trend because of like how my face is like naturally structured. 100 00:04:19,950 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 2: But there was a time like when I was younger, 101 00:04:23,209 --> 00:04:26,109 Speaker 2: when a longer face was very much favored because it's 102 00:04:26,119 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 2: like a lot more elegant, 103 00:04:27,690 --> 00:04:29,390 Speaker 2: you know, and I always felt like, oh man, I, 104 00:04:29,399 --> 00:04:32,599 Speaker 2: I don't have that elegant, you know, sophisticated kind of 105 00:04:32,609 --> 00:04:35,618 Speaker 2: look so trends come and go, which is why I 106 00:04:35,630 --> 00:04:38,250 Speaker 2: feel like it's so important for you to know yourself, 107 00:04:38,260 --> 00:04:41,130 Speaker 2: like know your features and to be to know what 108 00:04:41,140 --> 00:04:44,750 Speaker 2: it does for you and be comfortable with it. Yeah, 109 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,010 Speaker 1: I totally agree with that. I think growing up for me, 110 00:04:48,238 --> 00:04:51,609 Speaker 1: I was always chasing a lot of beauty trends. So, like, 111 00:04:51,619 --> 00:04:53,029 Speaker 1: every time there is a new, like 112 00:04:53,127 --> 00:04:55,268 Speaker 1: release from a particular store that I like, I'll make 113 00:04:55,278 --> 00:04:58,787 Speaker 1: sure I'll buy it. So, unfortunately, I spent a lot 114 00:04:58,798 --> 00:05:01,667 Speaker 1: on makeup and looking back, I low key kind of 115 00:05:01,678 --> 00:05:04,207 Speaker 1: regret it because I don't even use some of all 116 00:05:04,217 --> 00:05:07,627 Speaker 1: these items. Now. Right now I have a call item also. Ok. Yes. 117 00:05:07,638 --> 00:05:11,058 Speaker 1: And I realize I don't need that much beauty product. 118 00:05:11,067 --> 00:05:14,787 Speaker 1: I just need that few for me to enhance the 119 00:05:14,798 --> 00:05:16,028 Speaker 1: features I already have. Yeah, 120 00:05:16,037 --> 00:05:18,238 Speaker 2: that's true. Yeah, but at the same time, I also 121 00:05:18,247 --> 00:05:18,476 Speaker 2: want to see 122 00:05:18,565 --> 00:05:20,186 Speaker 2: that if not for the fact that you have experimented 123 00:05:20,196 --> 00:05:22,635 Speaker 2: with so much, you probably wouldn't have those you call. 124 00:05:23,145 --> 00:05:25,585 Speaker 1: Yeah. So I do think that girls should go out 125 00:05:25,596 --> 00:05:28,466 Speaker 1: there and experiment and you know, spend a bit of 126 00:05:28,476 --> 00:05:29,406 Speaker 1: money that 127 00:05:29,415 --> 00:05:31,786 Speaker 2: pinch Yeah. Have fun, have fun with makeup. 128 00:05:32,165 --> 00:05:35,265 Speaker 1: Yes. So like I love that makeup brands these days 129 00:05:35,276 --> 00:05:37,656 Speaker 1: are also very inclusive. I think a lot of brands 130 00:05:37,665 --> 00:05:42,145 Speaker 1: are offering more for girls that have like different skin tones, 131 00:05:42,156 --> 00:05:43,906 Speaker 1: different color types. So I would say 132 00:05:44,003 --> 00:05:46,914 Speaker 1: we are very blessed that the makeup world is evolving 133 00:05:46,924 --> 00:05:49,454 Speaker 1: and catering to all the girls out there.
