• Be daring - Anne likes to play with bold colors. From red to orange lipsticks, she’s not afraid to decorate her lips with bright colors. It not only shows creativity, it also brightens up your face,

• Blend your makeup - To achieve the best makeup look, don’t forget to blend. Blending is one of those skills that every woman should learn as it’s a fundamental part of the makeup application process. Blending makes your makeup more natural-looking and effortlessly flawless.

• Always clean your makeup brushes - Always clean your brushes at least once a week to protect your face from dirt and bacteria. This keeps the brushes in top condition to seamlessly apply makeup.

2. On Korean products

It is not a secret that Anne is fascinated with everything Korean.

So when it comes to Korean products, Anne gleefully shares that she is also a big fan. Here are Anne’s tips on buying Korean products:

• Cute but handy- When getting a Korean item, don’t be distracted by how cute and pretty it is. You should make sure that you would actually use it. There are a lot of Korean products in the market that are cute as well as handy like mini hair straighteners and cleansing brushes.

• Korean Snacks are the best - Relive your Korean fantasy and imagine yourself watching a movie with your favorite Korean actor while devouring those tasty Korean snacks. Done imagining? Now go get yourself one!

3. On Love

Anne likes to surprise her husband with gifts. She says that the secret to a happy relationship is to make sure the other person knows he is loved. Here are some of Anne’s gift-giving tips:

• Watches are still the perfect gift - Ensure that your loved ones are never late for success. There’s nothing like a simple, sleek, and stylish watch, a gift perfect for a man who’s always on the go.

• Get him ready for anything with a shaving set - A clean and precise shave is an achievement on its own. A shaving set is a thoughtful gift that will help your man achieve an impossibly clean-shaven look.

dick clark productions announced today that multiplatinum, record-breaking superstar Ariana Grande will open the “2018 Billboard Music Awards” with a show-stopping performance from her upcoming LP.

The pop songstress, who’s new single “No Tears Left to Cry” hit No. 1 on iTunes in 85+ markets and No. 1 on U.S. iTunes for seven consecutive days in its debut week, will join previously announced performers BTS, Camila Cabello, Dua Lipa and Shawn Mendes on a night filled with music’s biggest names.

Hosted by “The Voice” coach Kelly Clarkson, the “2018 Billboard Music Awards” will broadcast live from MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Monday, 21 May at 8:00AM (7:00 AM JKT/BKK) on Blue Ant Entertainment. The three-hour telecast will feature performances from this year’s hottest musical acts, unexpected collaborations and buzzworthy moments that celebrate 60 years of the Billboard Hot 100.

Ariana Grande Billboard chart facts:

·       With three full-length albums to her name at just 24 years old, Ariana Grande has been a reliable hitmaker since her 2013 breakthrough hit "The Way," featuring Mac Miller. The singer has earned 25 entries on the Billboard Hot 100, including nine Top 10s and 12 Top 40 hits. Shemade history in 2014 by becoming just the second woman to land three songs in the Hot 100's Top 10 as a lead artist, joining Adele. Two of her studio albums have hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200, while her entire catalog of songs have generated 4.6 billion on-demand streams in the U.S.,according to Nielsen Music. With the release of “No Tears Left to Cry,” Grande is the only artist to have the first single from each of her first fourLPs debut in the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100.

With her powerful vocals and astonishing range, Ariana Grande has emerged as one of the most magnetic and massively successful performers in pop music today. At age 24 she’s delivered three platinum-selling albums and surpassed 18 billion streams, in addition to nabbing four Grammy Award nominations and landing eight hits in the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. With her most recent album — 2016’s critically acclaimed Dangerous Woman — Grande both boldly defies expectation and reveals the full force of her voice (recently hailed as an “extraordinary, versatile, limitless instrument” upon Grande’s appearance on Time’s magazine’s “100 Most Influential People” list).

Since making her full-length debut with 2013’s “Yours Truly” (featuring the game-changing, triple- platinum smash single “The Way”), Grande has brought her striking vocal presence to a genre- blurring breed of pop, taking on R&B, soul and electronic music with equal nuance and assurance. Arriving in 2014, her sophomore effort, “MyEverything,” garnered a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Vocal Album and spawned the 6x-platinum hits “Problem” and “Bang Bang” (a Grammy nominee for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance). Through the years, the longtime actress and former Broadway star has proven the scope of her talent by appearing on “Scream Queens” and “Hairspray Live!” and showcased her comedic chops by hosting “Saturday Night Live.” With her social media following now surging past 200 million, Grande has also earnednumerous accolades from the MTV Video Music Awards, iHeartRadio Music Awards and American Music Awards (including the highly coveted Artist of the Year prize).

The first artist in music history to see the lead single from her first three albums debut on the Billboard Hot 100, Grande embraced a more uncompromising vision than ever before in the making of “Dangerous Woman.” With People magazine noting that the album “celebrates feminine might,” Entertainment Weekly praised Grande for “having something meaningful to say with that jaw-dropping voice — one of the most exquisite in pop today.” Grande wrapped up her widely lauded “Dangerous Woman Tour” insupport of the album, performing 85 arena shows worldwide.

Voting for the two fan-voted categories — Billboard Chart Achievement Award and Top Social Artist — will open in the coming weeks and additional details will be available soon.
