Wakemake & Bring Green x Squid Game 2 Makeup & Skincare Collection Is Finally In Singapore
All caught up with Squid Game 2 and deep in Thanos' world? You might be feeling tempted to join the game and play along in some way, and the Korean beauty industry saw it coming! Not one but two K-beauty brands, Wakemake and Bring Green, have teamed up with Netflix's Squid Game 2 to create themed editions of their bestselling products. And good news for us, it's finally available for purchase in Singapore, exclusively retailing at Guardian.
Wakemake x Squid Game 2
Wakemake is a Korean makeup brand best known for its glow-enhancing products from shimmery eyeshadow palettes to glittery lip glosses. The Squid Game 2 collection consists of four limited-edition collectibles, all decorated with recognisable motifs from the show including Young-Hee, the giant creepy doll, and the 'X' and 'O' buttons the players used to vote in or out of the game.
Treat yourself to all-in-one Soft Blurring Eye Palette ($37.40) that comes with 16 versatile shades to use as the base, accent, shimmer and eyeliner. They're designed to create a blurring effect for a soft girl look.

If you can never have enough lippies, go for the Dewy Gel Maxi Gloss + Watery Tok Tint Set ($17.90). Each set comes with two lip products to create the perfect shiny pout. Start with the tint to create a gradient lip, then top it off with the gloss for a water-like shine and plumping effect thanks to the pearl particles. Choose from two shades: Pink Scar and Solid Blood.

Swap out your old eyeliner with this Squid Game-themed Any-Proof Eyeliner ($16.40). It has a fine tip to create thin, precise lines and has a long-lasting formula.

Love the blurred lip look? Add the Over Blurring Pot ($17.90) to your collection! This nifty cream product can be used not just on the lips but also the cheeks and eyes for a delicate wash of blurred colour. It comes in two shades: Young Hee Pink and Blood Red.

Bring Green x Squid Game 2
It's your cue to stock up on Korean skincare as the cult-favourite Bring Green has also boarded the Squid Game hype train.
If you haven't tried the viral Tea Tree Cica Trouble Soothing Toner Pad ($26.15) yet, this Squid Game packaging and special pink-hued pads might give you that final push to 'add to cart'. Its 5-Tea Tree Complex calms irritated acne-prone skin and helps to treat and prevent blackheads, whiteheads, sebum and excess oil production.

Another acne-targeted product is the Tea Tree Cica Pore Nose Strip 5 pcs + Dual Cotton Swabs ($14.60) which melts away blackheads and sebum while soothing the skin.
Besides skincare, it's also handy to have a lip treatment like the Bamboo Hyalu Lip Essence ($12.35, 2pcs) in your handbag. This Squid Game edition is decorated with the pink soldier's iconic square, triangle and circle signs, as well as player 456's name tag. It's formulated with young bamboo sap and hyaluronic acid to hydrate and retain moisture in the lips.

Last but certainly not least is the Tea Tree Cica + Young Hee Fresh Mask ($22.40, 5pcs). Each sheet mask is soaked in 90% Tea Tree Leaf extract to soothe and treat acne-prone skin. But that's not all, instead of the usual plain-coloured mask, this Squid Game-themed facial mask is designed to make you look like Young-Hee! The sheet has the bangs, eyeliner, and even two stubby little "ponytails" that stick out from the side of your face.
