Knowing which basic make up essentials you should have in your basic make up kit is important, but these cosmetic products dont just appear out of thin air (although I wish they did so I could own more makeup).

Some of you have asked in the previous essential make up post where to buy make up to start your basic make up collection and take the next step to becoming a beauty-holic. For that, one must know where all the make up stores in Singapore are. I dont personally buy a lot of make up in Singapore, but when I do, here are the make up stores in Singapore I frequent.

1. Sephora Singapore
I absolutely adore Sephora and I’ve visited Sephora both here in Singapore and in New York. The reason why it’s my favourite make up store is the simple fact that they stock all of my favourite cosmetic brands; Urban Decay, Too Faced, Benefit, Bare Escentuals, Smashbox are found among a host of other gorgeous beauty products. Sephora is truly a beauty addict’s candy store.

Address:
Sephora Ion Orchard Shopping Mall
2 Orchard Turn, #01-05

Sephora Ngee Ann City
391 Orchard Road #B1-05

2. M.A.C Cosmetics
With new make up collections being pushed out every other month, you will never fail to find a gem of a make up product from M.A.C. Their limited edition collections are usually contained in stunning packaging that could easily double up as an accessory. I really get a kick out of owning something that’s limited edition. Haha. But that’s not the only reason why M.A.C is one of my favourite cosmetic brands. They have a wide range of colours for all their products and for affordable prices, their product quality is pretty damn awesome.

Address:
M·A·C Isetan Scotts
350 Orchard Road
Singapore 238868

M·A·C Tangs Orchard
310 and 320 Orchard Rd
Singapore 238864

3. Tangs Beauty Hall
Located in the heart of Singapore’s shopping district, Orchard Road, Tangs is easily accessible by train and carries brands that are slightly more high-end. Luxury brands like Dior, Chanel and Bvlgari are familiar faces in the Tangs Beauty Hall, but for users of cult make up brands, this might just be the place you want to step into.

Cosmetics brands here include: Anna Sui, Benefit, Biotherm, Bobbi Brown, Bvlgari, By Terry, Chanel, Christian Dior, Clarins, Cle De Peau Beaute, Clinique, Estee Lauder, Guerlain, Jurlique, Kiehl’s, La Mer, La Prairie, Lancaster, Lancome, La Prairie, Shiseido, Shu Uemura, Guerlain

Tangs Orchard

4. Robinsons at Raffles City
Located just above City Hall MRT, Robinsons is similar to Tangs Beauty Hall. With so many cosmetic brands housed under one roof, it definitely makes shopping for make up that much more convenient. Clarins, SK-II, Kiehl’s, Benefit are just some brands I can name off the top of my head right now, but there obviously are more.

The best part about the Robinson’s beauty hall is that it’s located alongside the shoe, bag and perfume section. Talk about getting a whole new wardrobe. I can literally walk into the beauty department of Robinsons, pick out new make up, a new fragrance, some supplements and even a new pair of shoes. Make over anyone?

Address:
Raffles City Shopping Centre
252 North Bridge Road

5. Watsons
We dont have that many drugstores here in Singapore, but Watsons is one that carries a wide selection of trusty make up products. Majolica Majorca, Revlon, LA Splash, Rimmel are but a few of the more popular make up brands in store. With compact yet attractive shelves it’s easy to browse and pick up your favourite products in a jiffy. Watsons also carries Maybelline, which produces one of my favourite mascaras: Maybelline Define-a-Lash Pulse Perfection mascara.

Watsons Ngee Ann City

6. Sasa
Ahhhh.. How could I forget this one little gem of a make up store here in Singapore? In Sasa, you find an eclectic mix of make up products from various brands. With such a diverse range of things to choose from, it’s enough to make any beauty-holic go gaga. Fake eyelashes, make up brushes, beauty masks, facial blotters, nail polish, you name it they’ve probably got it. But you know what I really like about Sasa? Although sometimes you find the most random of things there, the best is part is using them and then finding out that they’re actually pretty good!

There probably are lots of other make up stores in Singapore where you can buy make up that I havent discovered. Be it in the heartland malls, a major shopping district or even an obscure neighbourhood shop that happens to stock one of your favourite beauty products, everyone has a secret haven where they go to feel beautiful.

So share with me, where do you buy your make up from?
