For even the most photogenic among us, grainy lower-resolution webcams can be horribly unforgiving—but what to do in this current global coronavirus crisis, when video-conferences, webinars and Facetimes with family and friends have become a daily lifeline for responsible social-distancers and the self-quarantined?

Beauty Ring Light
Ever wonder how beauty gurus on Instagram and YouTube always look like they have such flawless, glossy skin? One key product almost all of them have on hand is a beauty ring light, like this Impressions Vanity GlowMe LED ring light (HK$350 at Revolve.com). Many of these circular LED lights—which you can also find in plenty of convenience and department stores around Hong Kong, specifically in Causeway Bay—come with three or four light settings: daylight white-light, a warmer yellow-ish light, and an amber-tone light. And they're available in all different sizes: as phone clip-ons, desktop minis, or standing studio-style, the original mamma-jamma of all ring lights, the Diva Ring Light.
