Sarah Leung is a professional makeup artist based in Hong Kong. She offers a range of services, including creative makeup designs, face and body painting, special effect makeup, makeup tutorials, and professional makeup services through her business, Sarah Artistry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I met Sarah at Island Shangri-la’s Halloween Party last year and was blown away by the incredible art she created on the children’s faces. As we transition into summer, I ask Sarah for some tips on adapting my routine for the humidity ahead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How did you get into makeup?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I’ve always loved art and exploring various mediums like graphite, watercolour, acrylic, and oil painting. Through makeup, I found a new avenue for my creativity. Makeup is a form of fine art, a delicate craft practised on a living canvas, where each face becomes a unique masterpiece. Face and body painting are my favoured mediums, blending my passion for painting with the art of enhancing natural beauty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I begin with gentle cleansing and toning to balance my pH levels. I apply a serum for hydration and target specific skin concerns with treatments like retinol or vitamin C. Finally; I moisturise to lock in hydration and finish with sunscreen to shield against UV rays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I always carry a foundation or tinted moisturiser; my favourites are NARS Cosmetics Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturiser SPF30\/PA+++<\/strong> and MAKE UP FOR EVER Matt Velvet Tint & HD Skin Foundation<\/strong>. I’ll also carry concealer, setting powder, an eyebrow gel, mascara by TOM FORD<\/strong> and a neutral eyeshadow palette, such as TOM FORD Eye Color Quad<\/strong>. For blush, I use Charlotte Tilbury’s Cheek To Chic<\/strong>, and for my lips, I love CHANEL Le Rouge Duo Ultra Tenue Ultrawear Liquid Lip Color<\/strong>. I also carry makeup brushes, sponges, and URBAN DECAY’s Heavy Dose All-Nighter Makeup Setting Spray<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
