Lunar-Inspired Makeup To Dress Up Your Mid-Autumn Celebrations

Follow us on Instagram, Facebook and Telegram for the latest updates.

Come Mid-Autumn Festival every year, we whip out the mooncakes, the lanterns and the tea. Maybe even a pomelo or two. This year, why not add a fun new element to proceedings by dolling up with makeup inspired by the moon?

Before you write off such makeup as all just 50 shades of silver-grey, have a look at the ones we’ve curated here – they come in as many hues and finishes as the varying faces of the moon, from holographic white and shimmery pink to luminous blue and deep purple.
