During my visit to China, I stumbled upon a costume rental store that offered an unexpectedly amazing service for a very reasonable price—just 88 RMB (around SGD 16) for a complete glow up. What impressed me most was how fast and professional the makeup and hairstyling artists were, managing to transform my look in under 30 minutes. I initially chose a costume with lighter colors that really suited my style. The hairstyling was done quickly, within 5-10 minutes, using curl fixers that gave my hair a fresh, voluminous look. Then, I decided to change to a white fluffy costume that complemented the makeup glow perfectly, highlighting my features with subtle tones. This glow up experience was not just about looking good but also about embracing the fun, spontaneous aspect of travel. It’s ideal for anyone wanting a new look without investing too much time or money. Plus, it’s a great reminder that pampering yourself can be simple and rewarding, even on the laziest days. If you find yourself in Yunnan or anywhere in China, I highly recommend exploring local costume and beauty salons—you never know what unique styles you might discover!
