MANILA, Philippines – Despite all the clothes and accessories you may wear to your many holiday parties and family get-togethers this season, nothing shows off your beauty best than your face. 

“It’s really more about how you project your face,” says Nikki Santiago, managing editor of StyleBible.ph, the online portal of Preview. “It all comes down to confidence, the way you carry yourself, and everything else just follows.” 

On December 2, the winners of the SM Store Beauty Section x Preview Face Search were revealed. Guided by fashion bloggers and model mentors Laureen Uy, Camille Co, and Patricia Prieto, 3 ladies emerged as the faces of the night. The Face Search was a competition to look for the new faces of the store’s beauty section.

The bloggers also explained the season’s latest trends when it comes to your face, along with their make-up must-haves. 

Rich lips

According to Santiago,For this season, we like the rich jewel-toned lips with colors like berry, wine, and deep red. That’s big now and it’s something that you can wear with bare face and you’re all set.” And for a good base, suggests Laureen Uy, “I really have powder and moisturizer in my bag. If you put on makeup without a good base, it will look dry.”

Bold eyebrows

Whereas before, most women tended to favor thin, slender eyebrows, this season, “people are appreciating eyebrows more now,” says Santiago. “Now people have more information about what kind of shade they should use, or the correct shape according to their facial structure.”

And for Patricia Prieto, a useful tool to always have is an eyebrow pencil. “For some reason, when you don’t have eyebrows your face is just blank. Using one makes your face pop.”

BOLD EYEBROWS. Winner Mia Orendain reveals the season’s trends for eyebrows: bold and broad. 

Jewel-toned eyes

According to fashion blogger Camille Co, aside from jewel-toned lips, rich hues for eye shadow are also in season. Of course, all this makeup will be for naught if you don’t have good skin to begin with.

“It always starts with good skin,” says Santiago. “If you have good skin, you won’t have a problem prepping up or picking the right kind of makeup for you.”

She adds, “Makeup involves a lot of experimentation. In time, as you grow and mature, you will start to pick colors and the kind of makeup that’s age-appropriate for you. So you grow with your choices.” – Rappler.com
