Turn it up

This volume-enhancing formula (HK$520) features snowflake-shaped bristles to coat and thicken. It is resistant to water, humidity and smudges.

Most mascaras lengthen and add volume to eyelashes, but for those with oily skin, finding one that is smudge-proof (no panda-looking eyes at the end of an especially humid day in Hong Kong) has been a quest. We think Chantecaille Supreme Cils may save the day. It holds up well to moisture and humidity. We like its brush that coats each lash separately, leaving lashes looking more natural with no clumps. It's easy to remove - warm water does the trick - dispensing of the need for oily and industrial-strength make-up removers.
