There’s a certain thrill in entering a space where beauty isn’t just applied it’s curated. Last Thursday, Alani at KADA transformed into a pastel-hued playground, the latest playground of Kylie Cosmetics’ Café Takeover Watercolour Workshop. The concept? Sip, paint, and leave with a signature Kylie Glossy Lip Kit in hand.

From the moment I stepped in, the air hummed with quiet excitement. Soft music set the tone, the sunlight caught the shimmering glosses on display, and every corner felt Instagram-ready but in a way that didn’t demand perfection, only participation. The crowd was a mix of friends, creatives, and beauty enthusiasts, all drawn by the same desire: an experience that married artistry with indulgence.

The workshop itself was as much about self-expression as it was about color. Watercolor brushes danced across paper just as smoothly as lip glosses glide across lips. Laughter punctuated the room, occasional “oops” moments turned into masterpieces, and conversations flowed as freely as the Alani drinks (raspberry lemonade) in hand.

Kylie Cosmetics has always understood one thing: beauty is more than product, it’s ritual, play, and community. This Singapore takeover wasn’t just a pop-up; it was a momentary escape into a curated world of pastel palettes, glossy finishes, and creative freedom. By the time I left, lip kit in tote and paint-stained fingers as proof, it was clear: this was beauty as experience, and it was irresistibly, unmistakably Kylie.
