All eyes are on Maureen Wroblewitz, the first Filipina to win the top spot in the latest season of Asia’s Next Top Model. But it looks like the pressure isn’t getting to her as she dropped by an event this week in a casual denim jacket and high-waisted white pants topped with an effortless daytime look.
The makeup is barely noticeable in that good way we all want as we blend away with our brushes and sponges. It’s also a practical choice given how the weather can make our makeup melt off.
Inspired by this look, we picked out a few products you can use for a similar setting like tomorrow’s brunch date.
Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Gel
Whenever you put on makeup, make sure you lock in some good skin care. For a lightweight feeling and some sunscreen, this one from Biore will do the job well. It quickly absorbs into the skin but leaves a tiny hint of tackiness behind that your makeup can latch on to. Available at select Watson’s branches.
NARS Soft Matte Complete Concealer
There are days when you can get away with skipping foundation or BB cream all together especially with a good concealer. This new iteration of NARS’s beauty editor favorite concealer is becoming a fast cult pick given how it provides full coverage without looking dry. Available at Rustan’s The Beauty Source, Glorietta 4.
Human Nature PerfectFlush Cream Tint
If you don’t want to deal with a brush and don’t mind touching up then and again, I would highly recommend this blush. It has a velvety formula that delivers great color for any skin type. Available online.
Cargo Cosmetics Swimmables Longwear Matte Lipstick
A recent discovery of mine, this lipstick is indeed waterproof. So no worries when it comes to leaving lipstick stains on your cup. For a nude shade like Maureen’s, try Cape Town. If you have a darker skin tone, try Montouk. Available at select Beauty Bar stores.
Milani Make It Last Setting Spray Prime + Correct + Set
If you want to make sure you stay matte all day plus prolong the wear of your makeup, finish off your routine with a setting mist. This one from Milani is lightweight and keeps the shine at bay at the price that’s pocket-friendly, too! Available via Calyxta.
