Too exhausted from the many Singapore Fashion Week activities to keep to a consistent beauty routine? Give your skin a dose of hydrating and brightening goodness with a bottle of SK-II Facial Treatment Essence. 

The multipurpose, water-like anti-ageing serum can be used in many ways to perk up a dry and dull complexion. Use it after toner in your daily ritual, or as a quick fix for puffy eyes and lacklustre skin. 

The night before a big event, soak several cotton pads with the essence, seal them in a ziplock bag, and pop it in the fridge. The next morning, place the cotton pads over your eyes or face for five minutes to reduce puffiness and redness, as well as hydrate and soothe instantly. 

Keep skin looking radiant, flawless and not cakey with Nars Aqua Glow Cushion Foundation SPF23/PA++ (available in six shades). This hydrating cushion compact feels weightless and gives a medium, buildable coverage. It also boasts Triple-Force Anti-Pollution Complex that is said to keep out air pollutants, which can irritate skin and leave you with a weakened skin barrier (read: red and itchy skin). 

SK-II Facial Treatment Essence, $204 for 160ml and $259 for 230ml. Nars Aqua Glow Cushion Foundation SPF23/PA++, $68.
