Yes, Asia’s Next Top Model’s Cycle 5 winner Maureen Wroblewitz had that whole “just a pretty face” thing going on; but what’s wrong with a “pretty face”? This face won her the Maybelline challenge during episode 3 after all, and if these images are anything to go by, it’s a pretty face that’s doing a real good job at making this makeup relatable – and isn’t that the whole point?

mouthing off
Here’s an alternative to the (rather tired) gradient lip: get matte lipsticks in bright pink and red, and wear them in a light-to-dark or dark-to-light gradation. The shades from the Color Sensational Powder Matte Lipstick range, with their intense powdery pigments, will definitely stand out.
