Are you the type of woman who would always turn to a neutral makeup look when going to a casual gathering? While this option is great, you need to give those nude palettes a break and add a little color while still keeping that natural look.
Take Alex Gonzaga, for example: Makeup artist Denise Ochoa gave her a fresh-faced look with pink hues to give her complexion more brightness and life. If you want to achieve this, you can use the five products we’ve listed below.
Base
For a light dewy finish, you can opt for Happy Skin’s Don’t Get Mad Get Even Hydrating Powder Foundation (P1,399), which also comes in three shades to match your skin tone. This product can also protect your skin when you’re under the sun as it is pack with SPF 20 PA++.
Happy Skin. Available at Greenbelt 5, Glorietta 3, TriNoma, and Powerplant Mall. For a complete list of stores and more information, visit their website.
Cheeks
One of the most noticeable qualities of Alex’s look is her light pink cheeks which gives her skin a healthy glow. You can get a similar effect by lightly brushing on Benefit Cosmetics’ Dallas Blush (P1,600).
