Charlotte Tilbury Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tint

The secret to Engfa’s red-carpet base is avoiding a thick, cakey foundation mask in favour of a sheer, skin-like veil that catches the light. Achieve this weightless canvas using Charlotte Tilbury’s Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tint Hydrating Foundation Stick. Functioning as the "no-foundation foundation", this convenient stick glides over the skin to deliver buildable, sheer-to-light coverage with an instant ring-light effect. Formulated with hydrating hyaluronic acid and light-mapping micro-pearls, it blurs minor imperfections while allowing your natural skin texture to shine through with a dewy, youthful bounce. 

Haus Labs Colour Fuse Glassy Blush Balm Stick

To complement a dewy base, cream products are essential for maintaining a seamless, melt-into-skin finish. Haus Labs by Lady Gaga’s Colour Fuse Glassy Blush Balm Stick provides a long-lasting, multi-use flush for both cheeks and lips. The effortless cream stick glides on smooth, depositing buildable, glassy colour without disturbing the foundation underneath. Dab a warm peach or rosy-mauve shade onto your cheeks to mimic Engfa’s radiance. 

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder

While a glowy finish is the goal, controlling unwanted shine in the T-zone is crucial for photography. Enter the cult-favourite Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder. Using photoluminescent technology, this ultra-fine finishing powder neutralises harsh light and diffuses imperfections without flattening the skin's natural sheen. Dust it lightly over your forehead, under-eyes, and chin to set your base. Then, sweep a luminous shade directly along your cheekbones, brow bones, and the bridge of your nose to carve out a soft-focus, candlelit highlight that looks breathtaking under camera flashes. 

Dolce & Gabbana Mint Lip Plumping Oil

No Thai-style glam look is complete without a plump, glass-like pout. Dolce & Gabbana’s Oil Lip Plumper in its refreshing mint shade delivers ultra-high shine, deep hydration and long-wearing volume. The cooling mint infusion stimulates circulation for a natural plumping effect, while the non-sticky, mirror-shine finish coats the lips in a reflective sheen. Worn over a neutral lip liner or a soft stain, it adds that final touch of siren-like sophistication to your evening aesthetic. 

Nars Light Reflecting™ Makeup Setting Mist

To ensure your luminous look survives hours of dancing, dining or late-night events, seal everything in with the Nars Light Reflecting™ Makeup Setting Mist. Unlike traditional matte setting sprays that strip skin of its natural moisture, this invisible mist features light-reflecting technology that seamlessly fuses powder and cream layers together. A generous spritz locks down your makeup for all-night wear while imparting a continuous, healthy-looking sheen that leaves your skin looking fresh, hydrated and effortlessly radiant from dusk till dawn.
