sg politicians as skincare (a thread??? i guess??? idk i’m bored at work)

i guess it’s only appropriate to start the thread with our founding father, lee kuan yew. he would be sunday riley good genes lactic acid treatment.

a potent exfoliator, will get rid of all the gunks and dirt off your pores. also... good genes (iykwim)

Tharman Shanmugaratnam as Advanced Génifique Serum
Youth Activating Concentrate

elegant, effective, sturdy, higly raved, liked by the elite. deserve better ratings tbh.

President Halimah Yacob as Nature Republic Aloe Vera Soothing Gel.

soothing, calming, people claim can do many things, but it’s just a soothing gel...

Pritam Singh as The Inkey List Niacinamide Serum.

people praise and talk about their nemesis (the ordinary niacinamide.... *coughs* white packaging *coughs*) all the time... give them a chance pls and let them do their magic :(

Raeesah Khan as Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Ultra-Fine Mist

newcomer in the game but have already won the hearts of many. very chic. very refreshing.

Yaacob Ibrahim as SAFI Age Defy Gold Water Essence.

selamat. suci. halal. advanced & well-researched. all these labels tapi macam senyap je

Heng Swee Keat as Charlotte Tilbury Charlotte’s Magic Cream

4g leader so must high end mah... expensive, but performance wise like that lor—nice packaging but it’s still just an old-school plain cream... there are better alternatives out there.

K Shanmugam as St. Ives Apricot Scrub.

abbrasive, triggers breakouts, and not environmentally friendly. but dk why it’s still in the market? probably because it’s heavily scented

for legal reasons this is a joke (don’t pofma me pls)

Ivan Lim as Jaclyn Hill Cosmetics Lipstick (ya i know this is makeup not skincare... cut me some slack pls)

mouldy but somehow still passed quality control??? eventually got recalled and pulled from the market not long after its launch

commercial break! please open your purse and donate within your means https://twitter.com/waresinfoshop/status/1245299545757478913?s=21

Chan Chun Sing as Hatomugi Skin Conditioner.

i still don’t know the point of including this in my routine tbh,,, also needs to upgrade the packaging because mine keeps leaking

Dr Paul Tambyah as EltaMD UV Sport Broad-Spectrum SPF 50

medical grade, prevents long term damage, but often overlooked due to the discomfort that it causes

Jamus Lim as The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution

economical, leaves a warm & tingling sensation, makes u glow and raved by many people regardless of skin type

SPECIAL EDITION

M Kuasa Tiga as dUck Cosmetics You Glow Girl Face Palette

good branding (malay-owned yo!!)

great in theory, but not in practice can definitely do better

in case you don’t know what M Kuasa Tiga (M^3) stands for

Louis Ng as Essano Certified Organic Rosehip Oil

cruelty-free natural & organic millennial loves em! but can’t compete with sukin that’s why you rarely see them on the front shelf

Lee Hsien Loong as ABH Norvina Pro Pigment Palette

best-seller. has full creative control over your look. the one you reach out to before seeing your man-date seems versatile, but is it really? can’t escape from the shadow of their parent unfortunately

FUN FACT! Norvina is the current president of Anastasia Beverly Hills - a company founded by her mother, Anastasia Soare.

Josephine Teo as Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser.

basic. very popular. dermatologically tested but people are questioning its effectivity.

Dr Tan Cheng Bock as SK-II Facial Treatment Essence.

a classic. game changer in the industry. well-accepted by people at the west (but still can’t be #1). probably your ah ma’s favourite.

Amrin Amin as Papaya Whitening Soap.

you only like them if you’re a self-hating brown person. tries to fix something that doesn’t need to be fixed. slowly losing popularity.

Charles Yeo as Milk Makeup
Cooling Water Stick.

another newcomer in the game! quirky and going against the stream. doesn’t rely on foreign labours. appealing to a certain demographic. performance wise is still very questionable.
