How do I make my lashes stay curled all day?

Curl your lashes at three different points: the roots, mid-section and ends. Following this, set your curls by using waterproof mascara to ensure your lashes stay curled all day.

Do I need a separate sunscreen if my makeup offers SPF protection?

Cynthia Tan, 24

A separate sunscreen is essential, as the SPF in makeup will not be able to provide sufficient protection from UV rays. Ensure your sunscreen offers both SPF and PA protection to shield yourself from UVA and UVB rays.

How do I know which moisturiser is right for my skin?

Anita Hong, 20

As a general rule of thumb, choose a lightweight moisturiser for normal skin and a cream for dry skin. But if you have oily skin, a water-based moisturiser is more suitable. Lastly, for those with combination skin, use a cream on areas that are dry and gel for the rest of your face.

Can I remove waterproof makeup and cleanse in one step?

Ong Hui Yu, 19

With 2-in-1 cleansers like Za’s Cleansemax, you can. But if you have on very heavy eye makeup and several coats of waterproof mascara, we recommend using a separate eye makeup remover before the cleanser.

Can foundation cover my freckles?

Susanna Annette Tan, 21

Each foundation has its own level of coverage. To minimise the appearance of freckles, we recommend Za Airy Flawless Powder Foundation, which minimises the appearance of pores, evens out your skin tone and reduces dullness.
