Four Best-Kept Insider Beauty Essentials Delve into the handbags of Lane Crawford insiders and discover their daily beauty must-haves

“If I could only have one beauty product in my handbag, it would definitely be a light-weight foundation. I like to have bright and fresh-looking skin throughout the day, plus it helps to balance my skin tone too. My go-to is always a moisturising foundation with UV protection.”

“A red lipstick, foundation cushion and eye liner are my top three handbag beauty picks. As I have bleached white hair a red lipstick instantly lifts my complexion, my favourite shade is Dior Rouge Matte 999. A foundation cushion is perfect for little touch-ups throughout the day, whilst I like to smudge eyeliner for a smoky evening look.”

“I can’t leave home without my phone, lip balm and hand cream. Everywhere in Hong Kong is so dry because of the air conditioning, I always carry a lip balm and hand cream to make sure my hands and lips are always moisturised. I love La Mer lip balm, it’s super moisturising without being too glossy.”

“My daily makeup is pretty minimal. Usually I’ll skip liquid foundation and just go for a pressed powder. For eyes, Clé de Peau’s liquid liner is easy to apply and I love that it’s dual ended - a thicker brush for more dramatic looks, and a fine tip for more precise lines. I love the versatility of cream sticks. They’re perfect for quick touch ups, as they can be used on the eyes, lips or cheeks.”
