Soft & Natural Glam
Want to have one of the most beautiful faces before the year ends? No problem! Andrea Brillantes has got us covered. If you’re wearing a simple yet endearing dress, it’s ideal to pair it with a soft, natural makeup look. Similar to Andrea’s approach, you can opt for brushed-up brows, soft hints of blush on the cheeks, and seamlessly curled eyelashes for a fresh and radiant finish. Oh, and don't forget to add some clear lip gloss to your puckers!

Fairy Glam
If a simple makeup look isn’t your style, consider going for an exquisite and glamorous approach. It’s a perfect pair if you’re wearing a dazzling dress. To create this look, start with a moisturized base for a flawless finish. Blend your luminizing foundation smoothly to achieve glowing skin. Add volumized false lashes and a subtle, almost no-blush pink hue on your cheeks. Don’t forget to accentuate your eyes with a pop of shimmer or metallic tones for that extra touch of elegance, a la Fyang.

Bridal Glam
Want to look as fresh as Jane Oineza at your year-end party? Celebrity makeup artist Japeth Mike Purog showed us how he enhanced Jane’s natural features rather than dramatically altering them. For this look, balance your contour to complement your facial structure and top it with a rosy blush. To achieve lively eyes, coat your lashes with well-formulated mascara, a sharp eyeliner line, and glittery hues on the crease. Finish it off with a nude lip gloss for timeless elegance.

Earthy Palette
Since the color of the year is Mocha Mousse, many are embracing earthly tones for good luck next year. Why not incorporate this into your makeup look? Whether it’s an eyeshadow palette or a three-shade highlighter—as long as warm tones are present—use it as your main component to achieve a seamless Mocha Mousse effect. Pick up your crease brush, choose shades closest to the soft, warm brown, and add a touch of shimmer for vibrant eyes. You can even go the monochromatic look by using similar hues for your cheeks and lips.

Beauty Queen Glow
For our morena and deep-hue-skinned beauties, choosing the right shade is key to living up to your New Year’s Eve fantasies. Take inspiration from Miss Universe Philippines 2024, Chelsea Manalo. Start by pigmenting your brows lightly for a natural effect, and brush them into place. For your eyelashes, apply long falsies at the tip of your eyes to create a sharp cat-eye look, then complement it with a sleek eyeliner. Finish off your look with bold wine-red lipstick for the ultimate classy beauty queen glow.
