While we\u2019re thankful for the beauty giants who offer up their full ranges here in Singapore, recently our attention has been directed towards the international rising stars in makeup lately.\u00a0Instagram<\/a>\u00a0seems to be the place for smart business marketing today, and it has exposed us to\u00a0a growing\u00a0pattern\u00a0of beauty brands taking to the social media platform to get in touch with their followers - their customers and fans all over the globe.<\/p>

After the surge of K-beauty<\/a> taking over our shores, some of us are more interested in bolder, brighter makeup looks that can go from fun and playful to subdued and sophisticated - which is exactly what these alternative brands boast of.\u00a0Though some prices could soar towards the high-end range, trust us when we say the quality and experience they offer is\u00a0nothing quite like the mass-supply companies we're used to. <\/p>

Bold, fashion-forward<\/a> locals would rejoice\u00a0if\u00a0any of these brands launched here in Singapore. Let's hope, shall we? It's due time that we stop admiring from afar but till then, head over to the gallery to see which names in beauty you should start coveting.\u00a0<\/p>
