We can’t stop the natural change, but we can still look younger if we want to work hard to slow down the aging process.

Therefore, I’m going to help you with 10 easy steps to make you look younger!
 

Charmaine’s passion for beauty first started when she was a little girl. From young, she would always look on as her older sister dolled herself up to go out. Once when her sister was out, she would secretly sneak to her room and experiment with her clothes and cosmetics. At the tender age of 10, she started wearing contact lenses, beautified herself with limited make-up skills that she picked up from magazines and dressed according to the latest fashion trends.

Over the years, she has equipped herself with proficient knowledge and expertise in the area of beauty development. She has a Diploma in Advanced Bridal Make-up & Hair-styling awarded by The School of Make Up and she is also certified as a Nail and Lash Artist.

In 2005, she ventured into a nail and beauty business and opened Shanghai Dreams Nails & Face Spa. Charmaine actively managed the beauty parlour’s daily operations and successfully built up its brand name through different marketing channels. Shanghai Dreams had the honour of being part of prestigious events such as the Mont Blanc fashion show, Ettsusai and Shisedo workshops among others.

In addition, she has shared her knowledge by giving talks on manicure/pedicure in Ngee Ann Polytechnic and was featured together with the beauty parlour on MediaCorp’s lifestyle channel. Due to unforeseen circumstances, she has since sold the business to concentrate on other ventures after five enjoyable years of providing beauty services to her clients.

The journey is far from over and her passion does not just end here. She continues to stay updated with the latest trends in beauty and fashion, and intends to further her skills by pursuing advance beauty and wellness certificates in the near future.

Through personal experience, she strongly believes that beauty does not only come from the enhancement effect of make-up but also comes from within the body, mind and soul. Health and fitness is the key to beautiful skin and wholesome well-being. Having recovered from suggestive Cirrhosis – Liver Hardening, Charmaine has learnt that she should not take her health for granted and now stays spiritually positive, regularly exercises, eats a healthy diet and maintains a good work life balance.

Pucker & Pout is a space for Charmaine to share her ongoing personal beauty, wellness and lifestyle experiences and hopes her readers will get some inspiration and motivation on how to become a beautiful woman inside out.
