Spotted at the launch of Rustan's Beauty Addict: Decoded earlier this month, Max Collins turned heads as she shopped the aisles with effortless grace.
Her beauty drew stares and hushed compliments—one onlooker was even heard gasping, “Parang manika.”
For those curious about her beauty secret, Max gave a refreshingly simple answer: she doesn’t really have one.
In past interviews, she has remained consistent in saying that her skin-care routine is straightforward: wash your face, always remove make-up, and never forget sunscreen.
To hydrate her skin, she occasionally turns to coconut oil, a discovery she made while pregnant with her son, Skye Anakin.
According to Max, it worked wonders on her stretch marks.
For puffiness, she relies on an ice roller, and to tighten her pores, she uses plain ice.
A big fan of face mist, she sprays it on before and after applying make-up, and even right after cleansing.
While Max keeps her skin-care simple, she admits to being “maarte" when it comes to make-up.
